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 is where you will 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.

https://search.credoreference.com/content/entry/sageeas/nursing/0 "Nursing" entry from The SAGE Encyclopedia of economics and Society. This source will be good for the history and profession for this topic. I can look at its information and compare it to what is already on the Wikipedia page.
https://journals.lww.com/nursing/fulltext/2013/10000/patient_education_tips_for_new_nurses.24.aspx This is a journal article called "Patient-Education Tips for New Nurses". The section on this topic is very small in the Wikipedia article. I can read through this source and add more information to that section in the article.
https://www.britannica.com/science/nursing This is another source called "nursing". I can read it and compare the information from both articles and possible look at new sources to add to the Wikipedia article.
https://nurseslabs.com/florence-nightingales-environmental-theory/#:~:text=Florence%20Nightingale's%20Environmental%20Theory%20defined,soldiers%20during%20the%20Crimean%20War This is a source about Florence Nightingale. I can use this to add more information about her and what she contributed to nursing.
https://www.cerner.com/ae/en/blog/the-role-of-nurses-in-our-society-today This is an article talking about what nurses do today. I think I could include this in the article because it talks about the history and some may want to learn about today as well.

Proposal[edit]

For this article, I think that I can add more information to the "patient education" section of this article. There is only a few sentences that really doesn't explain what this is but, I think the section needs to be larger and I can provide that information. I could take a big step and add a new section called the 21st century. The writer has 19th, and 20th, but doesn't talk about what nurses due in the 21st century. I can use the article I found online to provide information about that as well at the SAGE encyclopedia. I would be more comfortable with adding smaller details like using the source I found about Florence Nightingale and just include a few more sentences about her and what she contributed to the nursing society. I would like to use these articles and read though the Wikipedia page and when I find something that needs added or changed I can do that with the sources I found. I am not sure what specifically I will change yet but while I am reading all of these sources again it will pop out. I know that this assignment says to specific examples so here is just a few. I will use my first source and add deeper information on "theory and process". I can use my third source as a comparison. It has the same setup as the wikipedia article So I can compare and contrast the information. I can come up with more specific example of what I can add or change in the future, but those are the ones that stood out to me now.
