Line 176:
There were two other links that said that dictionaries could be secondary or tertiary, depending on the circumstances, which is not at all good support for your claim that they are secondary sources, especially compared to the many sources available that say they are exclusively tertiary. What you need to find—and haven't, apparently—is something that (1) deals in a three-part classification system '''and''' (2) defines dictionaries as being secondary (not maybe both secondary and tertiary).

:Uh, actually sources that say they are both secondary and tertiary are quite sufficient to say they are both secondary and tertiary. And the rest of your objections are pretty strained. I could invent equally strained objections regarding the 3 sources you gave saying they are exclusively tertiary, but I'm not going to bother.
