consensus
I would like to see if we can achieve a consensus as to primary, secondary, and tertiary reliable sources, and update the manual of style accordingly.

Acccording to WP:PRIMARY, any "religious scripture" is a primary source. I would like to exclude from wp:Judaism comparisons between Judaism and other religions. I also believe that the trunk that units the branches of Judaism is the tanach.


 * I propose that apochrichal works and other works not canonized by the Anshei Knesset HaGedola, are not to be considered primary sources in relation to WikiProject Judaism.

Secondary sources rely for their facts and opinions on reliable primary sources, often to make analytic, synthetic, interpretive, explanatory, or evaluative claims. Wikipedia articles usually rely on material from secondary sources if they have been published by a reliable secondary source.


 * In my opinion, the material discussed in the article Rabbinic literature should be considered reliable secondary source material.

Tertiary sources are publications such as encyclopedias or other compendia that mainly summarize secondary sources. For example, Wikipedia itself is a tertiary source. Tertiary sources can be helpful in providing broad summaries of topics that involve many primary and secondary sources.


 * In my opinion, The F&W Jewish Encyclopedia and the Eisenstein compendia (not yet available in english) are reliable tertiary sources. The Encyclopedia Talmudit (Vol.1 is available in english) is reliable, but copyright issues are unclear to me.

WP:Verifiability describes the criteria for assessing the reliability of sources. Articles and posts on Wikipedia, or on websites that mirror its content, may not be used as sources. Appropriate sourcing can be a complicated issue, and these are general rules. Deciding whether primary, secondary or tertiary sources are more suitable on any given occasion is a matter of common sense and good editorial judgment, and should be discussed on article talk pages.
