Primary sources[edit]

Why are we removing tags without explanation? Am I mistaken that the article relies too heavily on primary sources? R2 (bleep) 17:57, 20 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I checked but saw no explanation for the tag, here on the talk page. Sagecandor (talk) 19:49, 20 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Isn't it self-explanatory? Almost all of the sources are appear to be primary sources or opinion sources. Surely there's been news coverage of the report that this article can be drawn from? R2 (bleep) 20:39, 20 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

If you would like to help with any further research, that'd be most appreciated. Sagecandor (talk) 23:59, 20 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The user has notified Wikipedia editors by discussion here on this talk page. There is no need to maintain the tag on the article forever for the rest of our lifetimes. The tag will be removed absent any suggestions from the original poster about what sources they would like to add to the article. Sagecandor (talk) 16:59, 26 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The tag should remain until the problem is fixed, or until there's consensus that there is no problem. R2 (bleep) 08:17, 2 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Most of the entire article already relies upon secondary sources. These include: Georgetown Security Studies Review, Brookings Institution, Fox News, Time (magazine), The Hill (newspaper), Vanity Fair (magazine), San Francisco Chronicle, The Philadelphia Tribune, and Newsday. Sagecandor (talk) 18:56, 26 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Those are used as opinion sources. They're fine, but the factual parts of the article should be based mostly on secondary sources, not primary ones. R2 (bleep) 08:19, 2 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
