Put simply, Ikwipedia has a more permissive allowance on the incorporation of original research and the use of primary sources than Wikipedia does. Sources with testimonial evidence, among other sources, are acceptable on Ikwipedia. Many claims about the subjects we focus on lack extensive coverage in secondary sources, which is part of what motivated the creation of Ikwipedia. The use of primary sources, including large blocks of material, is acceptable, especially when these primary sources consist of Ikwipedia:Testimonial accounts. Also, Ikwipedia editors may, to a limited extent, make certain original interpretive claims, analyses, and synthetic claims about primary sources without referencing a secondary source.
