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]

^[1]Heritage Museums and gardens, describes the main difference between beehives and bee hotels. Has a large team organization suggesting a lot of work was put into the sight, which adds validation. This could be added into a new section.

^[2] Claudia Garrido, 2020. This seems to be a trusted article, there are multiple questions and replies at the bottom of the article, with responses from Claudia as recent as 2023. The article discusses the effects of bee hotels, both the positive and negatives. This could be added to a new section about Positives + Negatives.

^[3] Published in 2022 by Suzan Poizner, the article discusses issues that arise from bee hotels. The author is credited with an award winning book publication, as well as an author for well known programs. This could be added into the section of Positives + Negatives.

^[4] Ideas about the positive effects of bee hotels and how to build them. The source comes from a university extension suggesting good credibility. This can also be included in the positive + negatives section.

^[5] Information is given about solitary bees as well as building a bee hotel and the management that goes along with that. Marc Carlton 2006-2022. Could be added on to existing sections in the wikipedia page.

^[6]A corporation extension based off of North Carolina University as well as North Carolina A&T State University suggesting validation for this website. The website includes background knowledge on bee hotels, benefits, pollination, and how bees use the hotel. Information could be included in A variety of sections as well as new ones.

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.

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]

I would like to include ideas and thoughts on what possible positives there are to bee hotels and what negative effects there could be as well. I feel that there should also be clear information on the actual difference between a bee hotel and a bee hive. There should be information on solitary bees, Or at least a link to another wikipedia page that describes exactly what they are. I also think It would be beneficial for there to be a section on how a bee goes about using the hotel, and the different components of that idea. More information could be added to each section that is already included in the wikipedia page as well.

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.
