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.

Outline of proposed changes

Click on the edit button to draft your outline.

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.

Introduction Section:

Add more information about the Drogo Sacramentary’s historical context, emphasizing its creation for Drogo, Bishop of Metz, in the mid-9th century. Reference Leesti (1989) and Simon (1975) to establish the connection between Drogo’s patronage and the Carolingian Renaissance, which will provide historical depth and context that is currently lacking.

Iconography Section:

Expand on the iconography of the manuscript, especially the depiction of Christus patiens in the Crucifixion scene. Utilize Simon’s (1975) dissertation and Chazelle (2001) to explain the theological meaning behind these depictions. This will enhance the article by providing an in-depth art historical and theological analysis of the Drogo Sacramentary's most notable imagery.

Liturgical Use Section:

Add a new section on the sacramentary’s liturgical function, detailing how it was used in Mass by Bishop Drogo. Reference Leesti (1989) and Simon (1975) to describe the manuscript’s purpose and how it differs from other liturgical books of its time. This fills in a content gap by connecting the manuscript to its religious use, providing a more complete understanding of its importance.

Theological and Eschatological Themes Section:

Introduce a section that explores the eschatological themes in the manuscript, as analyzed in Simon’s (1975) dissertation. This section will explain how the images reflect theological ideas of the afterlife and judgment, adding depth to the article by examining the broader spiritual implications of the artwork.

Physical Description Section:

Expand the description of the manuscript’s dimensions, materials, and folios. This will provide readers with a better understanding of the manuscript’s physical properties, enhancing their comprehension of its luxurious craftsmanship. Use Simon (1975) for these details, as this dissertation includes a thorough examination of the manuscript's construction.

Notability and Artistic Value Section:

Create a dedicated section that emphasizes the manuscript’s notability and its place in the history of medieval art. Use Chazelle (2001) and Leesti (1989) to discuss why the Drogo Sacramentary is considered a masterpiece of Carolingian art, highlighting its artistic significance and lasting impact. This will improve the article by offering a well-rounded evaluation of the manuscript's legacy.
