 * I'm confused. The vast majority of my citations are primary sources. How can that not be legitimate? The interview was not published, so maybe that doesn't count. Everything else is accurate and verifiable. A article about the lighthouse in Santa Barbara, based on secondary sources which are not always reliable, was deemed Wikipediable, but one about an African American Church is not? Sorry, I'm not interested in redoing this. Petronella 1949 (talk) 13:31, 3 November 2023 (UTC)
 * @Petronella 1949 Hi there, Do not be pissed/offended because your very first draft on Wikipedia was declined but it looks like you're missing some things. Please take a look at WP:PRIMARY especially point 5 that says "# Do not base an entire article on primary sources, and be cautious about basing large passages on them.". Please read through WP:ROUTINE too.
 * Also, see WP:SECONDARY, WP:RELIABLE, WP:INDEPTH and WP:INDEPENDENT. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 19:28, 3 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Dear Vanderwaal, (van den Elsken, here) Not offended and "niet kwaat," just don't think I want to continue. I always use primary sources in my articles and rely on secondary sources only when I can't find them. Not really interested in summarizing other people's work, so if that's what is needed for Wikipedia entries, that's not for me. That said, I do use Wikipedia as a source, but always evaluate the reliability of a particular entry. I'm very glad Wikipedia exists.In the past I have challenged/corrected some information, but Wikipedia entries just seem to get better and better. Petronella 1949 (talk) 21:45, 3 November 2023 (UTC)
