On the distinctions between "primary" and "secondary," etc., I think it would be useful to actually quote someone like Elizabeth on the subject. That's "fair use" and she's very concise in that first section of Evidence!. I know, this is "appealing to authority," but it can't hurt in trying to promote source citations among novices. --Mike 11:40, 19 November 2009 (EST)

Mike, please feel free to do so. I don't have my copy handy. Thanks! -- Jillaine 19:00, 19 November 2009 (EST)

Oh, I will. This is just a very busy week -- brand-new grandchild, birthday party for the older grandchild, reconceptualizing a blog, discovering we're going to be hosting Thanksgiving after all and trying to organize for that. . . . But I'm also going to raid the lecture notes for the basic classes we teach and insert some of that on the page. --Mike 09:42, 20 November 2009 (EST)
