Also, if I had to guess why Omo Obatalá reverted your edits: a book from 1894 may be a reliable source, but it is preferable to cite more up-to-date (and less colonial) sources instead. Older sources are usually only used when there are no newer works, or if an older work is still regularly cited by modern scholarship. For example, when I recently worked on the article Decans, I cited a 1936 book titled Dekane und Dekansterbilder because all the modern sources I found all cited it. As much as I love Sacred-texts.com, it is usually not the best source for non-primary sources. I recommend using Google books, making sure that the source is from an academic publisher (not pay-to-print). Ian.thomson (talk) 00:14, 24 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
