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 source discusses the market for Oaxacan Woodcarvings. While this isn’t the exact journal on the history of these woodcarvings, it contains plenty of great information that can be used to better the Woodcarving History Wikipedia page. This is a reliable source for Wikipedia because it comes from a academic database, Proquest, and is also a peer reviewed source. The article has plenty of great qualities that make it suitable for Wikipedia citing. I plan to use the history behind the Oxacan Woodcarvings to add to the cultural sections on the page.^[1]
This source discusses the rich tradition of wood carving in the country of Romania, along with its connections to their spiritual beliefs. This is another great source because it comes from the EBSCOHOST database and is peer reviewed as well. I plan to use the history of this tradition in another section for Romania as to expand upon the global impact of woodcarving in various regions.^[2]
This is a source that discusses how the author interviewed a man from a region of India, and learned information other than create a graphic narrative. While not directly discussing the history of woodcarving as the main idea, plenty of information is covered aboout the rich history that India has relating to woodcarving. With this article coming from JSTOR and being peer reviewed, it is safe to say that the article fits the criteria to be used in citations for Wikipedia. I want to pull on the content that is discussed about the history of the woodcarving tradition in India.^[3]
