------------------

What I find is that in many cases they do start on the Talk page, and 
migrate to the RSN based on a few factors.

Firstly the "no one is here" factor.  Some pages have very light traffic 
and it could be months before anyone responds to a comment on say, "Berengaria 
of Navarre" as to whether "Runciman really is reliable for early Spanish 
kingdoms?"

Secondly the "I don't like it" factor where either justifiably or not, the 
source you're trying to bring, or discredit, is discredited or brought, by a 
strong counter-voice and you want more weight on your side.
