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 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.

From a peer-reviewed journal, this should be a reliable source. It covers why burning is important to Native people, with frequent reference to a particular tribe in Northern California. Also addresses the impacts on biodiversity and diversity in ecosystems from burning, which are shown to increase after treatment of fire. ^[1]

From a peer-reviewed journal, written by professors at Stanford in collaboration with a member of the USDA Forest Service. This article covers how burning understory of forest can be beneficial to increasing the growth of hazelnut shrubs in California, done by the Karuk and Yoruk people who are Native to California. It also addresses the long history of successful land management through the use of fire. ^[2]

From a peer-reviewed article, that is significant in the structure of the study that it summarizes. The goal of the study is to document the effects that climate change has had on culturally significant plants in the Karuk homelands of the Klamath region in Northern California. Instead of the typical structure of Western science being applied to measure, testimony and story from tribal members who have lived alongside and used the plants in questions for thousands of years are used a legitimate forms of study of the land and changes over time. A very good example of the resources and funding that Western science is allotted to lift up the voices of Indigenous people. ^[3]

A podcast episode that is the product of a collaboration between researchers and professors of the South West Climate Adaptation Science Center and the Karuk Department of Natural Resources, the resource center for the Indigenous tribe of the Karuk. This podcast episode consists of an interview with a Karuk tribal member and former employee of the US Forest Service of forty years, who is speaking on the role of fire within the tribe both historically and currently. ^[4]

An information page on the plant the Common Camas (Camassia quamash (Pursh) Greene) written by employee of the US Forest Service, providing information on the growth and structure of the plant with details about its fruit and flowers, where it usually grows and its use by Native people in the United States before the effects of European settlers took hold. The article has several historical sources.^[5]

From a peer-reviewed journal, which covers the expansive plants with root vegetables that were part of Native diets in Southern Oregon and Northern California. ^[6]

Book about how Native American people used native resources of the Californian land, whose author is a lecturer at UC Davis of California, an Associate Ecologist a the Agricultural Experimental Station at the University of California, Davis, and has been co-editor of several other published books on Native American ecology and land management.^[7]

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

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.
