# A tremendous amount of the credibility of the halachas come from the sources. The stronger the sources the better the page. It's usually good to have a number of sources but it's fine to have minimal sources as long as they are quality sources. | # A tremendous amount of the credibility of the halachas come from the sources.

# The best sources are the most accepted and famous halachic books.

## For example if Shemirat Shabbat KeHilchata and Rav Moshe argue about using a Keli Shelishi then it's preferable to find a third book like Rabbi Ribiat's 39 Melachos (pg 660) who quotes the Rav Moshe as anonymous accepted opinion (meaning he writes that if one didn't make it before shabbos one can make it in a keli shelishi on shabbos) but adds the Shemirat Shabbat KeHilchata as "some say" (some hold that one should not do it even if one didn't make it before shabbos). | ## For example if Shemirat [[Shabbat]] KeHilchata and Rav Moshe argue about using a Keli Shelishi then it's preferable to find a third book like Rabbi Ribiat's 39 Melachos (pg 660) who quotes the Rav Moshe as anonymous accepted opinion (meaning he writes that if one didn't make it before shabbos one can make it in a keli shelishi on shabbos) but adds the Shemirat [[Shabbat]] KeHilchata as "some say" (some hold that one should not do it even if one didn't make it before shabbos). | ||
