So you have to pick the right level and get a source

article you are working on. For an article on a major battle, you
would need several books on that battle. For an article on a major
general, you would need several biographies of that general. And so
on.
I suppose that depends on what you're intending to do.
I intend to improve WWI articles with the resources I can find the
time to get through in the next 18 months or so and they will fall
rather short of your recommendations, I'm afraid. It is vanishingly
unlikely I will purchase three books on a single battle or general
unless some burning passion is aroused as I go.
More probably I will add sentences and citations, scattered about,
from the few resources I get hold of.
