When to use
[edit]Use this in discussions to organize information about sources that are being discussed. Remember that a source does not have to be "perfect" to be useful, and that a source could be an "ideal" type in theory but still inappropriate in the context of a particular claim. Editors must always use their best judgment, especially when real-world facts are unclear.
