[Foundation-l] Oral Citations Sourcing

[Ziko van Dijk]

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.
Kind regards
Ziko
