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.

This is a peer-reviewed journal that shows an experiment performed and suggests that spoiler alerts may actually enhance enjoyment, rather than diminish it.

Yan and Tseng underlines through their findings in four experiments the impact of affective misforecasting on spoilers and how some respond knowing they will get spoiled.

This article establishes how spoiler conditions as it pertains to spoiling short stories mid-story may allow for more enjoyment. It explains their procedure for the experiment and analyses their findings.

Oad, Sussana (2016-05-01). "The Effect of Spoiler Types on Enjoyment". Psychological Science Undergraduate Honors Theses. ^[9]

This article is an antithesis of the previous article as their findings find spoilers to have a negative effect on enjoyment adding both sides to the argument about the enjoyment of spoilers through a specific medium.

Romaguera, Gabriel (2022-01-01). "Spoilers as (Un)Wanted Information: How Reader's Engagement with Paratextual Material Affects Wellbeing". Open Information Science. 6 (1): 95–105. doi:10.1515/opis-2022-0130. ISSN 2451-1781. ^[10]

Spoilers are subjective to people, as the level of knowledge from every individual when engaging with media and experiencing a spoiler is difficult to measure and compare. This article different products of popular culture and how the parataxis that are in media influences a person’s engagement and their enjoyment. Sometimes, spoilers can have a positive influence on viewers, but objectives and incentive are contextual components to measuring how spoilers effect enjoyment is affected.

Ellithorpe, Morgan E.; Brookes, Sarah E. (2018). "I didn't see that coming: Spoilers, fan theories, and their influence on enjoyment and parasocial breakup distress during a series finale". Psychology of Popular Media Culture. 7 (3): 250–263. doi:10.1037/ppm0000134. ISSN2160-4142 – via APA PsycNet. ^[11]

Spoilers can offer pleasure and can satisfy curiosity for some viewers. Spoilers can be enjoyed by viewers as it can “soften the blow,” plot twists do not ruin plots, ect. However, in the era of new technology and media, spoilers are much harder to navigate as a response to convergence. Spoilers can have different effects on people, and in the face of spoilers becoming more and more common due to loss of media control, viewers are using time shifting ability in viewership to benefit from.

Perks, Lisa G; McElrath-Hart, Noelle (2018). "Spoiler definitions and behaviors in the post-network era". Convergence: The International Journal of Research into New Media Technologies. 24 (2): 137–151. doi:10.1177/1354856516659403. ISSN 1354-8565. ^[12]

This is a two-wave study on how the mental models and previous knowledge/feelings that people have affect the nature of enjoyment and the experience of parasocial breakup distress in media. They do so through an episode of How I Met Your Mother, using varying participants with different behavior on interacting with spoilers or not before viewing, and how much they enjoyed an episode with such knowledge. The results show that spoilers do not always “spoil” TV shows; those who engage in fan theories and spoilers, such like a parasocial breakup from a TV show, actually received the reality more positively.
