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.

Whelan, E. (2020, May 13). A classical doric temple in Sicily built by a mysterious population. Ancient Origins Reconstructing the story of humanity’s past. https://www.ancient-origins.net/ancient-places-europe/doric-temple-0013703

-This article adds detail about there being an Athenian Architect hired by the Elymian people during a time of peace between Rome and Greece, and possibly built due to hellanization. They believe work stopped on the temple because of an attack on the settlement of Segesta. When the Romans took charge in the Roman era there’s no evidence that the site was used for worship. It gave details about the dimensions of the temple, (200x85 ft) or (61x26m) as we,l as there being 14 side columns and 36 total. It also mentions that there was a Punic Tomb in the temple found recently (unsure when)

Martinez, M. (2017, January 16). The temple at segesta. School of Literature, Languages and Linguistics. https://slll.cass.anu.edu.au/centres/classical-studies/blog/temple-segesta ^[1]

-this article suggested that the temple may have been constructed as a courthouse due to the lack of roof, but mainly just speculated on unfinished. The temple has no metopes or an alter which are important stylistic elements of Greek temples.

Cartwright, M. (2024, November 21). Segesta. World History Encyclopedia. https://www.worldhistory.org/Segesta/ ^[2]

-this article was written by a full time historian, reasearcher, writer and editor. It gives insight on the building materials, travertine from Alcamo. The Punic tomb found indicates that it wasn’t a place of worship. (Not built for a god or cult)

It also talks about restoration efforts, like steel bars for support and resins and rubber to fill in missing pieces. It was also treated with a water resistant solution to prolong the preservation.

-this site says that the Punic Tomb or the cell have been found, and buried inside the temple, and traces of previous construction suggesting that the temple was built above an even older ancient sacred site

Segesta (Sicily). The Wonders of Sicily. (n.d.). https://www.wondersofsicily.com/segesta.htm ^[4]

-this site spoke more of the conflict that may have occurred that stopped construction of the temple. Military and political conflicts between Segesta and the Greeks of Selinus. Segesta asked for help from Athens and the conflict escalated and led to failure.

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.

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.
