How to read primary sources
So, today I was at a uni library and I was checking out theses/dissertations and publications of the university publishing house. One of those books was a very strong study about how to read De Administrando Imperio properly and how to use its content in a historically-informed context. Then, I remembered this dispute in wikipedia and was reminded of WP:PRIMARY in the way primary archival records are approached in some discussions in wikipedia. The lesson is: don't use primary sources yourself. Most have been translated and interpreted by people whose job is to do so because they have studied for years and years the one particular period in which the work was written.--Maleschreiber (talk) 19:15, 31 July 2020 (UTC)
 * (don't use primary sources yourself..etc) exactly. First, for this claim or information "as a land of the Serbs" we need RS who says that, this present source does not say that and for now it is OR. Second, De Administrando Imperio is primary source and we cant put information in the article from primary source. We need a historian who use this source and concludes that De Administrando Imperio'' by Constantine VII  mentioned Travunija (Τερβουνια), as a "land of the Serbs". And then this is RS.
