Talk:Chang Deok-soo

Potential source: interview from fellow Korean exile
My grand-father was a Korean exile arrived in France in the 1920's. He gave an interview (in French) in 1983 in which he gives some information about Jang Deoksu in the 1920's.

The (bad quality) audio and some transcription attempts are available here: http://quatramaran.salle-s.org/~bli/famille/Li-Long-Tsi/Interview/

Here is the excerpt about Jang Deoksu:

Does this constitute a valid source of information for Wikipedia?

 * Interviews are always a bit challenging as sources. They are primary sources, while Wikipedia articles should be mainly based on secondary sources. You can use them to fill in the gaps, for sure, but the meat of this and any other article should come from summarizing secondary sources. Please consult the guideline here: Primary, secondary and tertiary sources.


 * I notice that the interview in question has been re-published by Revue Tangun (a scholarly source), so obviously this interview is given at least some credence, so sure, use it to get additional details you can't find in any other source. – Finnusertop (talk ⋅ contribs) 14:54, 22 May 2020 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your advice. It seems that the version on "Revue Tangun" is based on a re-organization of the primary transcription made by the interviewer. This version doesn't include the part about Jang Deoksu. Anyways, regarding the role in Dong-A Ilbo and the studies in Waseda University, the information also appears in other sources.
