Possible sources
editI wrote an undergraduate thesis discussing Lummus in some detail. Would it be acceptable for me to use some of the sources to expand the article? I don't want to fall afoul of WP:OR. Parts of my thesis have also been published as a journal article. Presidentman talk · contribs (Talkback) 20:12, 28 September 2023 (UTC)
- If the sources you used in your thesis are reliable secondary sources, I don't see any reason they could not be used in expanding the article. However, if they are primary sources, or if you cite your own thesis, I do think that would be WP:OR (as well as a possible COI). Another relevant policy is WP:SCHOLARSHIP; see "Dissertations" on that page. —Ganesha811 (talk) 02:57, 3 October 2023 (UTC)
- They would mainly be primary sources, which is why I wanted to check first. Presidentman talk · contribs (Talkback) 17:13, 3 October 2023 (UTC)
