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.

Front Office Sports reporter Andrew Cohen, summarized NFL Draft first-round picks, specifically the pay range for the first pick to the last (thirty-first) pick.^[1]
The Numbers has general financial information for the film industry, including domestic and some international box offices.^[2]
Vinnie Iyer, 20+ years working for The Sporting News, discussed the inaccuracies within the 2014 film Draft Day, stating specific inaccuracies within the draft, and general misconceptions.^[3] This source is biased and needs to be presented neutrally.
ClutchPoints writer Andrew Korpan interviewed NFL analyst Ian Rapoport who had a cameo in the film. Rapoport shares his praise of the film and discusses specific insider details.^[4] This source is biased and needs to be presented neutrally.
Steve Persall reviews the film and describes certain misconceptions the film presents that do not agree with the actual happenings of Draft Day.^[5]
A slightly biased review as presented by Brian Tallerico from RogerEbert.com, explains the plot of the movie well while highlighting instances where subplots are "often unbelievable" and how it took away from the film's message.^[6]
Cody Williams from Fansided shares multiple online services where the film can be viewed.^[7]
Box Office Mojo has a collection of box office information that allows users to see the rankings of box office revenue in both domestic and international markets.^[8]

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.

I. Thesis

a. My group and I will work on the Draft Day (2014) article, in which I plan to expand on the “Reception” section by supplementing the content with more sources about the public’s response to the film. In tandem with the expansion of this section, I will add a “Release” and “Analysis” section of the film that will discuss details about the film’s release and the themes and ideas that the producers and writers placed into the story.

II. Main Points

a. Under “Reception” the “Critical response” section will need some general reorganizing as well as other examples of public response to make the controversial reception of the film clearer. Recently, many NFL pros on and off the field have revisited the film, allowing for an updated take on what the movie got right, what the movie got wrong, and the personal impact of the film.

i. Iyer, V. (2014, April 11). “Draft Day”: Separating movie’s fiction from NFL facts | Sporting News. Retrieved 2024-2-22.^[1]

b. The “Box office” section will also be given an update, with the total grossed in other countries having increased marginally. Other than this minor update there will not be much to add to the “Box office” section.

c. With the ongoing release of old media onto streaming platforms, I plan to have an addition of a “Release” section, that will go into more detail about the different platforms the film was released on.

i. One portion of this will discuss the disc release sales revenue, the number of copies sold, and different types of disc release (e.g. Blu-ray).

ii. The other portion of this section will discuss the release on streaming platforms such as Amazon Prime Video, YouTube Primetime, Apple TV, Vudu, and Google Play movies, with dates and estimated revenues for each.

d. An analysis section will delve more into the main ideas behind the film, why it was produced, the cultural impact, and certain themes.

i. Each of these subsections is not expected to have a large portion of content behind them, other than the cultural impact. The NFL Draft is a culturally significant phenomenon for the U.S., raking in millions of dollars each year. Due to the mixed reception of the film, touching on the effect the film had on this culture will be a valuable case study as seen through many different sports-related news sources.

III. Secondary Research

a. The majority of the secondary research I will personally be doing will be for the “Production” section of the article, which Anna will likely be focusing on. The plan is to attempt to contact some of the individuals who worked on the film and discuss various topics such as:

i. Why was Kent’s Dix Stadium utilized to produce the movie?

ii. For what reasons do you (the person being interviewed) believe the movie was received poorly compared to the director's other works?

iii. And, what were the crew's intentions, either serious or unserious, behind making a film about such an American cultural phenomenon?

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.
