analysis, evaluation, interpretation, or synthesis
Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]Usage
This is a shortcut template for generating a link to the secondary sources sub-policy of WP:No original research, useful when it's necessary to give a reminder that only secondary sources can be used for any WP:AEIS: analysis, evaluation, interpretation, or synthesis of the facts, evidence, concepts, and ideas taken from primary sources. It saves a lot of typing.
