Bibliography

As you gather the sources for your Wikipedia contribution, think about the following:

Is the source from a reliable publication?
- Reliable publications include established newspapers, academic journals and books, textbooks, and other published sources with reputations for accuracy and fact-checking.
- Unreliable sources include blog posts and other self-published works, press releases, and social media posts.
Is the source verifiable?
- In order for a source to be considered verifiable, other editors should be able to consult the source.
Is the source independent of the subject?
- Is the source connected in any way to the subject? This is especially important when writing biographies or about organizations.
- For example, if you were writing a biography, sources like the person's webpage or personal blog would not be considered independent.
Is the source primary or secondary?
- Primary sources include first-hand accounts, autobiographies, and other original content.
- Wikipedia allows limited use of primary sources, but typically only for straightforward, descriptive statements of facts, and only if they are published and verifiable without requiring specialized knowledge.
- Secondary sources should be the main basis for a biography on Wikipedia.
If you're working on a topic related to medicine or psychology, ensure that your sources follow these special guidelines.
If you're creating a new article, consider the following:
- Ensure that your topic meets Wikipedia's notability guidelines.
- In order for a topic to meet the notability requirement, you must be able to identify 2-3 sources that are reliable, verifiable, and independent of the subject you're writing about.
- Finding sufficient sources to establish notability can be especially hard when writing about people or organizations.
- Sources that are not independent of the subject might be useful additions, but don't count towards the notability requirement.
- Wikipedia has developed special guidelines for writing about living persons. Please follow these carefully.
- Wikipedia has a series of guidelines for writing about different categories of people, such as academics and artists. If you're trying to create a new entry about a living person, please look at these carefully.

If you're not sure whether a source is reliable, ask a librarian! If you have questions about Wikipedia's sourcing rules, you can use the Get Help button below to contact your Wikipedia Expert.

Bibliography[edit]

Edit this section to compile the bibliography for your Wikipedia assignment. Add the name and/or notes about what each source covers, then use the "Cite" button to generate the citation for that source.

Biomining of Metals: new challenges for the next 15 years ^[1].

This source includes information on the past, present and future of biomining as a viable replacement for traditional mining.

Biomining of Metals: How to access and exploit natural resource sustainably ^[2]

This source goes into 4 use cases for biomining
- Mining of metals
- Bio-remediation of metal-contaminated areas
- Microorganism use to remove toxins from environments
- Space biomining

Biomining goes underground ^[3]

This source talks about the applications of deep underground biomining and how it can allow access to deposits not accessible by traditional methods.
This source also goes into challenges and benefits associated with deep subsurface biomining.

Biomining of MoS2 with Peptide-based Smart Biomaterials ^[4]

The source is a paper on the development of Biomaterials for biomining.
This is important for the section on non-microbial ways of biomining

Synergistic enhancement effect of Ag+ and organic ligands on the bioleaching of arsenic-bearing gold concentrate.^[5]

For the current techniques section.

Biomining - Theory, Microbes and Industrial Processes. ^[6]

Extensive textbook on the topic of biomining

Examples:

Luke, Learie. 2007. Identity and secession in the Caribbean: Tobago versus Trinidad, 1889–1980 Kingston, Jamaica: University of the West Indies Press.
- This is a book published by a university press, so it should be a reliable source. It also covers the topic in some depth, so it's helpful in establishing notability.
Galeano, Gloria; Bernal, Rodrigo (2013-11-08). "Sabinaria , a new genus of palms (Cryosophileae, Coryphoideae, Arecaceae) from the Colombia-Panama border". Phytotaxa.
- This is a peer-reviewed scientific journal, so it should be a reliable source. It covers the topic in some depth, so it's helpful in establishing notability.
Baker, William J.; Dransfield, John (2016). "Beyond Genera Palmarum: progress and prospects in palm systematics". Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society.
- This is a peer-reviewed scientific journal, so it should be a reliable source for a specific fact. Since it only dedicates a few sentences to the topic, it can't be used to establish notability.

Outline of proposed changes[edit]

Now that you have compiled a bibliography, it's time to plan out how you'll improve your assigned article.

In this section, write up a concise outline of how the sources you've identified will add relevant information to your chosen article. Be sure to discuss what content gap your additions tackle and how these additions will improve the article's quality.

Consider other changes you'll make to the article, including possible deletions of irrelevant, outdated, or incorrect information, restructuring of the article to improve its readability or any other change you plan on making. This is your chance to really think about how your proposed additions will improve your chosen article and to vet your sources even further.

Note: This is not a draft. This is an outline/plan where you can think about how the sources you've identified will fill in a content gap.

This article currently consists of 7 sections, all of which need substantial editing;

--- Also, a large edit that I am proposing to make is the combining of biomining and bioleaching into the same article. Thoughts? ---

Lead section

Needs to be reduced and made general.
Needs many additional citations (already add 3)
Grammatical and structural issues

History of Biomining

Needs citations
Add information about first uses and industry reception.

Overview

Too much information in this section that should be in its own section
Unstructured
Lacking essentially all citations.
Add a figure to summarize biomining

Delete - Processing Methods

This section will be moved to the processing methods subsection of the mining metals section

Delete - Current Techniques

Remove this section and add appropriate material to applications subsection of the mining minerals section.

*section to add* Mining of Metals

Processing Methods
- Add a figure to visually show each of the methods used
