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

This is where you will 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.

Example: Luke, Learie. 2007. Identity and secession in the Caribbean: Tobago versus Trinidad, 1889–1980.^[1]
- 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.
Example: Galeano, Gloria; Bernal, Rodrigo (2013-11-08). "Sabinaria , a new genus of palms (Cryosophileae, Coryphoideae, Arecaceae) from the Colombia-Panama border". Phytotaxa.^[2]
- 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.
Example: Baker, William J.; Dransfield, John (2016). "Beyond Genera Palmarum: progress and prospects in palm systematics". Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society.^[3]
- 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.
Nyabola, Nanjala. “Kenyan Feminisms in the Digital Age.” Women’s Studies Quarterly 46, no. 3 & 4 (2018): 261–72. https://www.jstor.org/stable/26511346.^[4]
- This is a peer-reviewed academic journal of women's studies, so it should be a reliable source. It provides valuable information about feminism in digital spaces and how self-identifying feminists are perceived in Kenya. It covers this topic in depth, so it can be used to help establish notability.
Janet Muthuki. “Challenging Patriarchal Structures: Wangari Maathai and the Green Belt Movement in Kenya.” Agenda: Empowering Women for Gender Equity, no. 69 (2006): 82–91. http://www.jstor.org/stable/4066816.^[5]
- This is a peer-reviewed feminist journal which was established in South Africa. This particular article describes the work of Wangari Maathai and the Green Belt Movement in Kenya. The Green Belt Movement is an environmental and social justice movement which also highlights feminist issues such as gendered relations and patriarchal norms. This source goes into great depth, so it will be useful for establishing notability.
Mary Modupe Kolawole. “Transcending Incongruities: Rethinking Feminisms and the Dynamics of Identity in Africa.” Agenda: Empowering Women for Gender Equity, no. 54 (2002): 92–98. http://www.jstor.org/stable/4548076.^[6]
- This article is also from the peer-reviewed feminist journal Agenda, which should be a reliable source. It provides helpful historical and cultural contexts for the diversity of feminisms found in Africa - a viewpoint which would improve this article greatly. Because it is quite in-depth, this article is useful for establishing notability.
