Hii All,

I read the letter by author Philip Roth about *Reliable Sources* on Wikipedia and his unrest about the article on his book 'The Human Stain' a while ago and just saw this discussion initiated here.
Here's the Open letter written by Roth : http://www.newyorker.com/online/blogs/books/2012/09/an-open-letter-to-wikipedia.html?mobify=0

There is the usual type of internal debate going on about this. As far as I can understand the actual crux, Roth has a point to the extent that an OTRS mail (I guess - he says letter) talked about "secondary sources" when in this case WP:SELFSOURCE applies, clearly enough.
