Wilford Woodruff
Hi, I undid your recent edits on the Wilford Woodruff page. I know that from a historian's angle, a primary source is better than a secondary source. However, Wikipedia uses different standards for sources. Wikipedia pages should not be based on primary sources and secondary sources are preferable--see WP:PST. It's not appropriate to replace secondary sources with primary ones. Also, if you are a paid editor, Wikipedia's Terms of Service required that you disclose that (see WP:PAID). I'm happy to see the Wilford Woodruff papers project take an interest in Wikipedia and I'm happy to consult on the best ways you can contribute, if you like.
