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 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

Phytogeography of the Sunda pangolin^[1]

habitat loss contributes to pangolin extinction - add to conservation section
Pangolins are considered one of the most highly trafficked mammal - add trafficked into first sentence of conservation
"all 8 species" were uplifted to CITES Appendix... - add how many species of pangolin there are to conservation
pangolins have the widest distribution among the four Asian pangolin species - add to behavior and ecology
add a wildlife trade section - hundreds to thousands have been killed for local consumption or the wildlife trade over the past few decades
possibly disease risk to humans, livestock, and other wildlife populations - add to health
complex geological experience and climate history, Pilo-Pleistocene played important role in shaping phytogeography of Sunda pangolin - add to behavior and ecology (?)

"investigating the use of...Sunda pangolin^[2]

add how they are one of the least understood mammals and how we know little about their behavior and ecology)
umwelt and sensation; how it affects pangolin behavior - add it behavior and ecology
growing need for conservationists developing endangered species strategies to gain greater knowledge of behavior and cognition - behavior and ecology or conservation
difficult to study species in the wild; usually die in captivity - conservation
research on the African tree pangolin suggests pangolin species have enlarged olfactory bulbs relative to other mammals, but non-remarkable visual and auditory systems; rely on olfaction and somatosensory info to find food - add to behavior and ecology
research on anatomy of eyes suggest it may be well adapted for the nocturnal environment - (?)

Recent Conservation^[3]

expand on the conservation efforts in captivity.
- Sunda pangolin is nocturnal, so breeding efforts are difficult at best.
very little is known about their parenting habits.
Young pangolins that are still nursing do not do well on artificial milk.
very little is known about their growth and development.
- The Sunda Pangolin is incredibly difficult to study due to its nocturnal nature and scarcity.

Expanding Cultural Uses^[3]

Traditional Chinese medicine uses the keratin scales and meat from the Sunda Pangolin for treatments.
The meat is considered a delicacy for indigenous groups.
The meat is also used as raw materials for drugs.

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.
