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.

“Homeless Outreach: Hire Ground: In My Father’s Kitchen: Syracuse, NY.” IMFK, 6 Apr. 2023, https://inmyfatherskitchen.org.

The official website of In My Father’s Kitchen serves as a foundational source for information on the organization's vision, mission, values, and history. Founded in 2011 by John and Leigh-Ann Tumino, the website outlines their commitment to addressing chronic homelessness through food distribution, material assistance, and building relationships. In the Wikipedia article, this source will be utilized to provide practical details about In My Father’s Kitchen, including its values, history, and development over time. It also serves as a reference for knowing the names of their staff members and links to their social media accounts.

Abbott, Ellen. “In My Father’s Kitchen Brings New Medical Outreach van to Syracuse.” WRVO Public Media, WRVO, 23 June 2023, https://www.wrvo.org/health/2023-06-23/in-my-fathers-kitchen-brings-new-medical-outreach-van-to-syracuse.

This Syracuse.com article provides a valuable insight into In My Father’s Kitchen’s recent initiatives and developments. In this case, the organization introduced a new medical outreach van for homeless individuals in Syracuse. It was written by Ellen Abbott, a reporter whose stories are regularly discussed in notable shows like Morning Edition and All Things Considered. In the Wikipedia article, this source will be utilized to share the organization’s new strategies to address homelessness in Syracuse. This story was written in 2023, 12 years after IMFK’s founding.

Abbott, Ellen. “Number of Homeless Individuals in CNY Expected to Rise from Last Year.” WRVO Public Media, WRVO, 25 Jan. 2024, https://www.wrvo.org/regional-news/2024-01-24/number-of-homeless-individuals-in-cny-expected-to-rise-from-last-year.

This Syracuse.com article highlights the increase in homelessness across Central New York. The article focuses on how once pandemic-related initiatives began to fade away, there has been a sharp rise in the homeless population in the area. It was written by Ellen Abbott, a reporter whose stories are regularly discussed in notable shows like Morning Edition and All Things Considered. In the Wikipedia article, this source will be used to provide data and context for why In My Father’s Kitchen has a clear need in Syracuse. In order to understand their mission, it is necessary to find reports that confirm the homelessness crisis in the local community.

Eisenstadt, Marnie. “Syracuse Chef Gives up His Restaurant to Feed the Homeless.” Syracuse.Com, 15 Sept. 2023, https://www.syracuse.com/news/2013/09/successful_syracuse_chef_trades_his_restaurant_for_the_streets.html.

This profile on IMFK’s founder, John Tumiro, narrates how he transitioned from being a local chef to establishing a non-profit organization dedicated to aiding homeless individuals. Tumino’s interactions with the homeless folks in Syracuse, as well as his own personal struggles with addiction and homelessness help readers understand what prompted IMFK’s creation. In my Wikipedia article, this will be valuable because it provides information on the founder, as well as the reason for the organization's origins. It is from 2013, so it is also a rare piece of journalism on IMFK in their early stages.

Wei, Yuying. “‘Staying Alive’ - The Plight of Our Older Homeless in Syracuse, New York.” Syracuse University, 2017, https://www.proquest.com/openview/5c74a2244d5b4b06f31f3ddc475f4573/1?pq-origsite=gscholar&cbl=18750.

This dissertation from Yuying Wei examines the resources that elders need who became homeless in later life in Syracuse. She explains that some individuals who fall into homelessness after the age of 50 are likely to refuse services due to added shame, and most of this group is unaware of the services that they have access to. In my Wikipedia article, this will be an interesting analysis of the people that IMFK strives to help. Homeless elderly folks are an often underlooked group in need, and it’s necessary to understand their prevalence in the local community.

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.

Wiki Plan

Our objective for the In My Father’s Kitchen Wikipedia page is to create a thorough and holistic overview of the organization’s goals, history, and development since their beginning. There is currently no Wikipedia article for this organization, so we have the opportunity to lay out a solid foundation for future Wiki collaborators to expand upon. A primary component we want to touch on are why In My Father’s Kitchen began, especially considering Syracuse’s layered history with homelessness and redlining. We also plan to describe the ways that the organization has developed and expanded their core mission throughout the greater Syracuse area. In creating this entry, we have no existing information on the page to expand upon. Instead, we will have to be extra meticulous to make sure that its introduction to the website contains accurate, reliable, and detailed information.

Labor allocation

Each of us found and annotated 5 of the 10 sources. Afterwards, we reviewed each other’s sources to proofread and confirm that they would be beneficial to our entry. The Wiki plan was written while we were together.

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.
