hi. it seems you are new to the encyclopedia. i have been around a few years, though i don't know a great deal. i have picked up a few things though. one thing is care about primary sources; there are policies about how to use them. we cannot, for example, extract whole paragraphs of quotes and paste them into an article. think about what an encyclopedia would be like if that was the modus operandi. suggest discussing the info you think is missing on the talk page.good night and good luck Happy   monsoon  day   17:30, 26 August 2014 (UTC)

 * As monsoon says. We don't look at the primary sources to pick the parts we find more representative. We look at the secondary sources, written by experts on the topic. These experts decide which parts are more important and why, and they explain the texts in proper historical and sociological context. I suggest reading the links above. --Enric Naval (talk) 18:30, 26 August 2014 (UTC)
