Those people who would like to write on Wikipedia about any subject
can write a book or pdf about it. It does not have to be a scholarly
work in every aspect. And then, the Wikipedia in language X can decide
that it accepts this kind of literature as reliable. (Those various
standards are not uncommon in the different Wikipedias.)
Not everything has to happen *in* Wikipedia.

Leave the use of historical sources to historians, and then cite from

Ziko,
there's a lack of historians writing books outside Europe/US, specially on
some traditional oral history. They love to write about what other
historians like, and the unpublished content remains unpublished.
If i understood correctly, Oral Citations Project doesn't intend to replace
books. Its focus is on what is not covered by books.
Amike,
Castelo
