Source review

  • Reference 12 refers to a primary source. Could you add reference(s) to secondary or tertiary sources? (I refer to Wikipedia:RSPRIMARY: "Primary sources are often difficult to use appropriately. Although they can be both reliable and useful in certain situations, they must be used with caution in order to avoid original research. Although specific facts may be taken from primary sources, secondary sources that present the same material are preferred. Large blocks of material based purely on primary sources should be avoided. All interpretive claims, analyses, or synthetic claims about primary sources must be referenced to a secondary source, rather than original analysis of the primary-source material by Wikipedia editors."
    • I really tried to find a secondary source but unfortunately the details needed are only present in the primary source.
  • All other sources are academic publications.
  • Add publisher and place of publicaton to Afshar&Sarafrazi (2018). Borsoka (talk) 05:43, 10 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
    • Done
  • References 3 and 6 verify the text in the article and do not contain plagiarism. Does reference 14 verify anything in the text? Borsoka (talk) 04:10, 12 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
