=="Secondary" is not another way to spell "good"==
{{See|Wikipedia:Secondary does not mean independent}}
 
"Secondary" is not, and should not be, a bit of jargon used by Wikipedians to mean "good" or "reliable" or "usable". Secondary '''does not''' mean that the source is [[WP:INDY|independent]], authoritative, high-quality, accurate, fact-checked, expert-approved, subject to editorial control, or published by a reputable publisher. Secondary sources can be unreliable, biased, [[conflict of interest|self-serving]] and [[wikt:self-publishing|self-published]].
