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.

(1) Martinez-Maza, Cayetana; Alberdi, Maria Teresa; Nieto-Diaz, Manuel; Prado, José Luis (2014-08-06). "Life-History Traits of the Miocene Hipparion concudense (Spain) Inferred from Bone Histological Structure". PLoS ONE. 9 (8): e103708. doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0103708. ISSN 1932-6203. PMC 4123897. PMID 25098950. ^[1]

- PLOS ONE seems like a reliable source, since it is a peer-reviewed journal with edits and assessments processes, found on National Library of Medicine PubMed Central. This article mostly covers how fossils show the life history and growth of Hipparion, which is helpful since it is an extinct animal and fossils are the major source of information about the creature.

(2) Vincelette, Alan R.; Renders, Elise; Scott, Kathleen M.; Falkingham, Peter L.; Janis, Christine M. (2023-06). "Hipparion tracks and horses' toes: the evolution of the equid single hoof". Royal Society Open Science. 10 (6). doi:10.1098/rsos.230358. ISSN 2054-5703. PMC 10282582. PMID 37351494 ^[2]

- This is an article from Royal Society Open Science, which is a peer-reviewed scientific journal that appears to be reliable as a source. It discussed how horses' hooves evolved, which therefore involves information about Hipparion's hooves.

(3) van der Made, Jan; Boulaghraief, Kamel; Chelli-Cheheb, Razika; Cáceres, Isabel; Harichane, Zoheir; Sahnouni, Mohamed (2022-01-28). "The last North African hipparions – hipparion decline and extinction follows a common pattern". Neues Jahrbuch für Geologie und Paläontologie - Abhandlungen: 39–87. doi:10.1127/njgpa/2022/1037. ^[3]

- This article discusses the extinction process of Hipparions in North Africa. It is by a peer-reviewed geology and paleontology journal that seems like a reliable 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

Click on the edit button to draft your outline.

- Use sources found for bibliography to add new information about different aspects of this creature, such as about their fossils and life history, hooves, and extinction.

- Look over sources already present to see if any more information can be added or needs to be removed from them, or whether they are properly cited.

- Find more sources to attempt to cover information gaps I find as I continue editing.

- Add more links to related wikipedia articles.

- Potentially add more images.

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.
