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

Richmond, Matthew Aaron. 2019. “‘Hostages to Both Sides’: Favela Pacification as DualSecurity Assemblage.” Geoforum 104: 71–80.
- I intend to use this in Section 3 because this article details policing practices by the UPP, as well as the effect they had on favelas and communities because they often built on practices already established by organized crime groups.
Magaloni, Beatriz et al. 2020. “Killing in the Slums: Social Order, Criminal Governance, and Police Violence in Rio De Janeiro.” The American Political Science Review 114(2):552–72.
- This will also be used in Sections 2 and 3 because it focuses on data from observations of the UPP and organized crime groups. It will be helpful in explaining whether state intervention actually helped deter OCGs.
Saborío, Sebastian. 2017. “Policía Pacificadora, legitimidad y prácticas de ocupaciónterritorial *.” Antípoda : Revista de Antropología y Arqueología (29): 105–22.
- This can be used in section 3 to explain the legitimacy of the UPP and the work it did on a day to day basis since it is more of a qualitative approach. Mazzurana, Leonardo, and Victor Almeida. 2022. “Integrated Information Circle: The Challenge of Integrating the Civil and Military Police.” Revista de Administração Contemporânea 26(2): 1-18,1A-18A.- This can be used in both sections 2 and 3 to explain how the UPP works with local police and the challenges faced that further affect the relationship between the state and OCGs
Ricotta, Giuseppe. 2017. “En el territorio del enemigo: las Unidades de Policía dePacificación (UPP) en una favela de Río de Janeiro, Brasil *.” Antípoda : Revista deAntropología y Arqueología (29): 63–79.
- This can give specific examples of work done by the UPP in one favela if specific examples are needed in Section 3.
Arias, Enrique Desmond. 2013. “The Impacts of Differential Armed Dominance of Politics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.” Studies in Comparative International Development 48(3):263–84.
- This can be used in Section 1 and Section 3 to explain the relationship OCGs have with the police, and how they are often interconnected in Rio de Janeiro to the benefit of theOCGs. It can also be used to further explain the organization of OCGs like CV.
Arias, Enrique Desmond. 2006. “The Dynamics of Criminal Governance: Networks andSocial Order in Rio de Janeiro.” Journal of Latin American Studies 38(2): 293–325.
- This will offer more context to Section 1 and the history of the favelas and fighting between the state, state actors, and OCGs. It will also further the analysis of the relationship between these two entities.
Jański, Kamil. 2022. “Primeiro Comando Da Capital and Comando Vermelho: Genesis,Evolution and Their Impact through Narco-Culture.” Ad Americam 23: 5-27,119.
- This will be a good resource to use in Section 1 for explaining the history and organization system of Comando Vermelho and similar OCGs that are present in the favelas of Rio de Janeiro.
Arias, Enrique Desmond. 2019. “Social Responses to Criminal Governance in Rio deJaneiro, Belo Horizonte, Kingston, and Medellín.” Latin American Research Review54(1): 165–80.
- I think this will be important for the specific subheading “Amarildo Souza and UPP abuses” as that instance of police violence led to mass protests and was a turning point in the decline of the UPP’s legitimacy/trust.
- Nemesis by Misha Glenny -- will add citation w
  - A book following one of Brazil's most prolific criminals. This source will help me explain some of the history of the favelas, OCGs, and history leading up to the 2020s.

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.

I also plan to delete a lot of the section detailing the helicopter crash just because it is so specific and doesn't clarify anything about the surrounding conflict. I need to clean up a lot as the page is all over the place.

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.
