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

Early life:

For the early life section, I plan on adding information on Jordan's academic successes and how her family, church, and academics shaped her linguistic abilities.

Political career:

The first section on Texas senate and her time in state politics is light and could use further development. I would like to add more information on her contributions and what issues she focused on/bills that made in impact in her community/further political career. The foundations of someone's political career and how they made their way into politics shapes who they are as a politician and their priorities.

Legislation:

Additionally, there is not a lot of information on what work Jordan did in the House of Representatives, including legislation or speeches, outside of Nixon's impeachment. There is a brief statement on her work on the Voting Rights Act of 1965 and I would like to expand on that. My source from Woods details her work on voting rights and advocacy and can provide more context on her time in congress.

New section on 1976 keynote address:

I would like to add a section detailing Jordan's keynote address at the DNC convention in 1976. The current Wikipedia page mentions the speech and how it is viewed as important, but it doesn't go into the context or the content of the speech. There is a decent section on her speech during the impeachment process of President Nixon, but nothing of note on her DNC speech even though the DNC speech is arguably ranked higher.

This section is probably where I will spend the majority of my time and where I have focused most of my sources because I think it addresses a large gap on Jordan's Wikipedia page. She is known for her rhetorical influence and well-known speeches and one of her most well-known speeches only gets a brief mention on the page. Additionally, this speech was historic in the fact that she was both the first African American and the first woman to deliver a keynote address at a party's convention.

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.
