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.

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.

Simpson, Jacqueline; Roud, Steve (2000). "Addy, Sidney Oldall". A Dictionary of English Folklore. Oxford: Oxford University Press. ISBN 978-0-19-210019-1. OCLC 44737169^[1]

This book gives not only a scholarly source about the author themselves but could offer more insight into the creation of the story as well as the author's commentary.

Addy, Sidney Oldall. Household tales with other traditional remains, collected in The Counties of York, Lincoln, Derby, and Nottingham. London: D. Nutt. 1895. pp. 1-4.^[2]

This is the original text for the book which could provide footnotes and information regarding the book as well as additional authorial commentary or colleague commentary surrounding the stories

^[3]MacDonald, M. R., & Paschkis, J. (2007). The great smelly, slobbery, small-tooth dog: A folktale from Great Britain. August House LittleFolk.

This is an alternative of the story written by Margaret Read in 2007, analyzing the differences as well as adding information about this newer rendition of the tale could be beneficial.

Outline of proposed changes[edit]

Include information about how the information was gathered by Addy and include a picture graphic. Using the information compiled by Addy and the English Dictionary published at the time about him, draw emphasis to how this information was likely compiled, according to Addy from Merchants and passed down through word of mouth from the initial beauty and the beast story.

Explain how the repeated use of lines helps emphasize the point of emotion and empathy within the story, and draw it back to Addy's own pursuit of empathy within his life's work. Some references to the following could be recommended: dog dentistry and decidious teeth(a hyperlink to small toothed dog the animal from Peru would also be a good idea). Cleaning up he commentary is also recommended, as currently it is about arranged marriage, and while the Beauty and the beast text is certainly tailoring to that, this tale is about empathy and understanding. The dog runs back and forth what is presumably miles due to taking pity on the daughter, and it is only through the daughter taking pity on the dog that both parties are set free. The marriage at the end seems to be an afterthought. Possible ties to the growing study of physiognomy at the time, and the study of reading faces since both parties reach their separate conclusions after studying the other, and this story was published by someone seeking to gain empathy and understanding of peasants to tell new stories rather than reprints.

The latest version of the tale will also have it's own section, describing the differences therein and information about the publisher, author, and all other parties. Information will also be provided about the publisher and author for the original tale as very little is presented on the original article.

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.
