Line 67: ==="Primary" is not another way to spell "bad"=== "Primary" is not, and should not be, a bit of jargon used by Wikipedians to mean "bad" or "unreliable" or "unusable". While ~~Primary~~primary sources are ~~usually~~less ~~not~~likely to be fully independent, they can be authoritative, high-quality, accurate, fact-checked, expert-approved, subject to editorial control and published by a reputable publisher. Primary sources ''can'' be reliable, and they ''can'' be used. However, there are limitations in what primary sources can be used ''for''. ==You are allowed to use primary sources... carefully==
