This is a problem that happens a lot anyway; you might have a lengthy piece of audio, video or text that discusses material - picking a few points to quote is in itself interpreting what it important. This is why secondary sources are better - because they do the selection for us :) Tom _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
