−	~~As to what counts as a reliable source, in the tightest sense it is simple: primary material. From there, we have secondary and "semi-secondary".~~
−
−	~~;Semi-secondary~~
−	Semi-secondary, as we call it for the sake of convenience, are texts by Tolkien that are about Middle-earth; these could be ''[[The Letters of J.R.R. Tolkien]]'', but also material published in ''[[Vinyar Tengwar]]'' or ''[[Parma Eldalamberon]]''.

−	~~;Secondary~~
−	~~Secondary texts are texts about Tolkien's work by other authors. We have a short rule for it: if they cite primary, we cite primary, and if they come up with original research, we cite them.~~
