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

Citation 1 will be used to establish a new section regarding the participation of women in Japanese politics and the declining nature of said representation. Additional citations will be found to investigate any changes implemented to fix this.

Citation 2 will be utilized to fill in the gaps of the "Gender roles through traditions and modern society" section. There are no citations in this section, so in addition to adding information, some investigation will be done to track down sources for the claims already within the section.

Citation 3 will be used to establish a new section regarding the history of modern gender inequality, from Meiji Japan, WWII, and current foundations.

Citation 4 will be used to establish a new section on the depiction and overcorrection of women and gender within Japanese religions, to include Buddhism, Christianity, Japanese mountain religion, new religions, and spirituality.

Citation 5 will be used to further develop "Gender roles through traditions and modern society" section and add information regarding gender equality in self-rated health (SRH), how it relates to retirement/age, and socioeconomic status, between Japan and South Korea.

Citation 6 will be used to further develop the new "Gender Inequality in Education" section and add the comparative information regarding China, Japan, and the U.S.

Citation 7 will be used to further develop the "LGBTQ+ marriage rights and violence in law" section. A sub-category added for the information regarding career options and financial security concerns for LGBTQ+ people.

A restructure of format for "Gender gap in employment and wages" section. (Completed, moved photo for easier viewing and readability).

A restructure to move the information in "Other" regarding educational difference of men and women to a new "Gender Inequality in Education" section. This new section will also include the "History of gender inequality in education" sub-category.

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.
