User:Rosguill/J-Man11 primary sources practice

Practice 1
Alright, so what I want you to do for this each citation you can access in the listed article, identify whether the source is primary, secondary, or tertiary, and give a brief explanation as to why. For sources that combine various types of coverage, it may be helpful to cross-check which parts of the source are actually relevant to the claims that cite it. If you have trouble accessing a source, feel free to skip it. For sources in languages you cannot read, use Google Translate and give it your best shot.


 * Siege of Beirut

So, let's pause. Do you have any questions about the above sources? signed,Rosguill talk 23:48, 5 July 2021 (UTC)


 * Ok, so now I'm comfortable, if a source has primary sources, but is backed up by author/secondary information, it overall secondary? Also, to add onto that, if an article mentions a national group it becomes automatically primary (I'm referring to an author using information from said national group) ?

 * The first part of what you said is correct. I'm not sure how you came to the conclusion Also, to add onto that, if an article mentions a national group it becomes automatically primary, that is not part of the equation at all. signed,Rosguill talk 02:53, 6 July 2021 (UTC)

Hi again if you have the time, would you mind making another practice. Of course there's no rush, but if you get the time that would be amazing. Cheers J-Man11 (talk) 04:41, 12 September 2021 (UTC)

Practice 2
I'm going to ask you to do more of the leg work this time around: please go over each citation in the section Thomas_Sankara and assess for the source's perspective. To make it easier for me to evaluate your work, please also note the relevant claim in the article and the relevant quote in the source, as many of these sources are mixed primary and secondary in character.
