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.

Outline of proposed changes

While the current outline of the article is good in itself and does not need any grammatical edits or areas of deletion, it lacks a comprehensive view on the topic, and much information needs to be added, such as:

Adding a more formalized introduction section
A comprehensive history on the practices and prevalence of FGM
expanding on oppositions to FGM through human rights research
A section possibly discussing case studies of FGM and the consequences of such
^In relation to the above, add sections on the physIcal, sexual and psychological consequences of FGM
As this comes into play, the article may be restructured to ensure it flows and does not jump around, starting first with history and general information on FGM before moving on later to cases and consequences.
the sources above will advance the article by making it a more in-depth, comprehensive analysis of FGM, looking at a wider variety of topics and drawing from more sources to encompass as much information as possible
Currently, the article lacks much relevant information, so all the above academic sources will provide reliability and further understanding to the topic
