Reliable sources

"In general, the most reliable sources are peer-reviewed journals and books published in university presses; university-level textbooks; magazines, journals, and books published by respected publishing houses; and mainstream newspapers. As a rule of thumb, the greater the degree of scrutiny involved in checking facts, analyzing legal issues, and scrutinizing the evidence and arguments of a particular work, the more reliable it is. Academic and peer-reviewed publications are highly valued and usually the most reliable sources in areas where they are available, such as history, medicine and science. Material from reliable non-academic sources may also be used in these areas, particularly if they are respected mainstream publications. The appropriateness of any source always depends on the context." WP:Verifiability, June 23, 2008

• • Identifying reliable sources (medicine) draft
    • "Identifying reliable sources Ideal sources for biomedical material include literature reviews or systematic reviews in reliable, third-party, published secondary sources (such as reputable medical journals), recognised standard textbooks by experts in a field, or medical guidelines and position statements from national or international expert bodies. Cite reviews, don't write them."
  • Identifying and using primary sources
  • Wikipedia talk:Primary Secondary and Tertiary Sources This discussion which was initiated by one User, was last edited on 2008 so it has limited use.
  • Identifying reliable sources (history)
  • Identifying reliable sources (Natural Sciences)
    • "Appropriate sources for discussing the natural sciences include comprehensive reviews in independent, reliable published sources, such as recent peer reviewed articles in reputable scientific journals, statements and reports from reputable expert bodies, widely recognized standard textbooks written by experts in a field, or standard handbooks and reference guides. Cite reviews, don't write them."
• PhD dissertations

"Completed dissertations or theses written as part of the requirements for a PhD, and which are publicly available (most via interlibrary loan or from Proquest), can be used but care should be exercised, as they are often, in part, primary sources. Some of them will have gone through a process of academic peer reviewing, of varying levels of rigor, but some will not. If possible, use theses that have been cited in the literature; supervised by recognized specialists in the field; or reviewed by third parties. Dissertations in progress have not been vetted and are not regarded as published and are thus not reliable sources as a rule. Some theses are later published in the form of scholarly monographs or peer reviewed articles, and, if available, these are usually preferable to the original thesis as sources. Masters dissertations and theses are considered reliable only if they can be shown to have had significant scholarly influence."Identifying reliable sources (Scholarship)

• Wikipedia Manual of Style US and U.S.

"While in principle, either US or U.S. may be used (with internal consistency) to abbreviate "United States" in any given article, the use or non-use of periods (full stops) should also be consistent with other country abbreviations in the same article (thus the US, UK, and USSR, not the U.S., UK, and USSR). In longer abbreviations (three letters or more) that incorporate the country's initials (USN, USAID), do not use periods. When the United States is mentioned with one or more other countries in the same sentence, U.S. or US may be too informal, especially at the first mention or as a noun instead of an adjective (France and the United States, not France and the U.S.). Do not use the spaced U. S. or the archaic U.S. of A., except when quoting; and do not use U.S.A. or USA except in a quotation, as part of a proper name (Team USA), or in certain technical or formal uses (e.g., the ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 codes and FIFA country codes)."

"As a general rule of thumb, a lead section should contain no more than four well-composed paragraphs and be carefully sourced as appropriate... The verifiability policy advises that material that is challenged or likely to be challenged, and direct quotations, should be supported by an inline citation. Any statements about living persons that are challenged or likely to be challenged must have an inline citation every time they are mentioned, including within the lead...and information in the lead section of non-controversial subjects is less likely to be challenged and less likely to require a source; there is not, however, an exception to citation requirements specific to leads. The necessity for citations in a lead should be determined on a case-by-case basis by editorial consensus. Complex, current, or controversial subjects may require many citations; others, few or none. The presence of citations in the introduction is neither required in every article nor prohibited in any article."

This User:Oceanflynn page contains lifelong learning resources I use or would like to use when editing Wikipedia articles. It is a convenient shareable but personalized resource for keeping track of potentially useful templates and tools.

• [Notability (people)]

This page in a nutshell: A person is presumed to be notable if he or she has received significant coverage in reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject. All biographies of living individuals must comply with the policy on biographies of living individuals, being supported by sufficient reliable independent sources to ensure neutrality. Notability criteria may need to be met for a person to be included in a standalone list article.

• Biography 11 easy steps to producing at least a B article

• ®

Two forms of dash are used on Wikipedia: en dash (–) and em dash (—). Type them in as – (–) and — (—) or click on them to the right of the "Insert" tab under the edit window; or see How to make dashes.

• Unspaced em dash[edit]

"Another "planet" was detected—but it was later found to be a moon of Saturn." Do not use spaces with em dashes.

• Spaced en dash

"Another "planet" was detected – but it was later found to be a moon of Saturn."

To ensure correct linewrap handling, the  – template (or its  – shorthand) can be used:

Another "planet" was detected – but it was later found to be a moon of Saturn.

However, do not use the template where the en dash is unspaced (see § En dashes: other uses, below).

Dashes can clarify the sentence structure when there are already commas or parentheses, or both.

We read them in chronological order: Descartes, Locke, Hume—but not his Treatise (it is too complex)—and Kant.

When using both names and groups, the syntax is:

For the repeated note:

<ref name=name group=groupname />

The footnote marker group name must be enclosed in quotes if the group name includes a space, else a cite error will occur, otherwise quotes are optional.

I officially began volunteering with Wikipedia Library on September 16, 2015

• [Library]

Links related to the Wikilibrary topics recommended by Nikki: - Art And Feminism, September 16, 2015 is an example of a landing page set up for an editathon (this one is part of the Art & Feminism initiative).

• • editathon provides more guidance on how to set up such an event
  • Training is a hub for training materials for various audiences (see also the Education Program page at WEP)
  • The Wikipedia Library: Free resources is our subject-based list of free resources that Wikipedia is working on developing
  • all Wikimedia mailing lists provides access to all Wikimedia mailing lists - the ones I suggest are Wikipedia-Library and GLAM-US (which despite its name covers all of North America)
  • Citing sources with Zotero to go along with your discussion of EndNote - this open-source reference software integrates nicely with Wikipedia.

• Did you know submissions

There are two steps, one is to add the article to this list, the other is to create a nomination page. The nomination page can be edited after it is submitted.
