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

USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service. (2023). Chemical Residues and Contaminants. US Department of Agriculture.^[1]
- This is an article from the USDA, a government organization known for its thorough investigation into information before it is reported, so it is likely a reliable source.
deGruyter, Justine N.; Malins, Lara R.; Baran, Phil S. (2017). Residue-Specific Peptide Modification: A Chemists Guide. American Chemical Society. Biochemistry.^[2]
- This is an article from a peer-reviewed scientific journal, published by a respected organization. It is likely a reliable source that contains a variety of information about the topic.
Gunawardena, Gamini. Amino Acid Residue. LibreTexts Chemistry.^[3]
- This source is a chemistry textbook written by an expert in the field, making it a reliable source.
Chapter 2: Protein Structure. Western Oregon University.^[4]
- This is a book published by a university, so it is reliable.

Outline of proposed changes

my first source will beef up the food safety portion
my second source will provide explanations for how residues are used/interacted with in chemistry
my third source will serve as a definition to improve the beginning of the article
my fourth source will improve and allow for greater clarity in the biochemistry section of the article
I will improve the beginning of the article to include a better definition and a overview of the content
I will add more the food safety section
I will go into greater depth in the characteristics section and work to explain why residues are important to characterize
I will remove the unnecessary quotations in the biochemistry section since they don't add to the article
I will also include more sources and citations in the biochemistry section, since there are claims without sources listed
