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 is a biochemistry textbook, published by a credible publishers and widely used in undergraduate biochemistry, so should be a reliable source. It have good depth on how the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation is used to model the buffer system in blood and maintain pH homeostasis in tissue. We are planning to use this to expand the buffers segment.

This is a segment from an encyclopedia on the history of Lawrence Joseph Hasselbalch. Since this is published by a well known encyclopedia it should be credible. We plan on using this to expand on the history of Hasselbalch and how the equation was developed.

This is published on an educational website on a variety of scientific topics. it summarizes information on the derivation and specific limitations.

This is a credible article published in a journal regarding chemical education. It will be used to expand upon the pH applications of the equation and its capabilities as a buffer.

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.

A link to the article/stub that you will be improving, and a brief rationale for why you chose it.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henderson%E2%80%93Hasselbalch_equation

We will be improving the Henderson-Hasselbalch page because it has limited information on the history of the equation and its applicable buffer uses eg. in blood and biological tissues.

An assessment of what Wikipedia states that the article/stub needs.

This article has a mid-importance for chemistry and pharmacology, and the stub class is the scope of Molecular Biology. There is not a large discussion of needs on the talk page. But the article is lacking in sources, organization, and information.

What information you plan to add to the article.

We plan to include information about the background of the Henderson-Hasselbach equation. The wikipedia article currently only has a couple sentences about the history, and a more in depth history should be provided for such an important topic. We also plan on providing more information on how the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation is used to model the buffer system in blood and maintain pH homeostasis in tissue. The article briefly touches on the biological applications, but more information is required.

What other actions you will be taking and other alterations to the article. Outline any information that can be deleted, restructuring of content, etc.

The history section needs to be restructured with the addition of more information. The History section should also be moved up in page to be the second section, following the introduction. The formatting of the equations needs to be fixed so each equation is in line with another, and the text that corresponds to the equation needs to be in a more logical spot. This involves moving around the limitations included in the derivation section.

Sources of information (Bibliography) that you think will be helpful and plan to add to your Wikipedia article/stub as references.

If you plan to add an image, a description of what it will show/why it’s necessary.

We plan on adding an image showing buffer capacity on a titration curve. This is necessary to show how the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation can be used to maintain a buffer range of pH. Something similar to below

We also plan to include an image on its buffer application in blood and how it can buffer CO2 in a cell, similar to below

An assessment of workload and who will be participating in each part of the project/how duties will be distributed.

We will begin by splitting up the current references that are in the paper and fact check all of them to ensure they are all valid references. One of us will work on the history section and the other one will work on the biological purposes section. We will check over each other's work and add information on each topic as needed.

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.
