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!

Article Draft Proposal

For my article edit, I am choosing to work on Psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioners. This article is a C-class article with mid to high importance. After researching several aspects of this field, I plan to add in much more information regarding the practice, as well as revising some existing information already in the article. The existing information in the article contains brief, but informative information on the overview of what a PMHNP is and the types of duties they may perform. It also provides the educational steps of how to become a PMHNP, but I will be revising this section of the article. The information I will be adding to the article will include explaining the types of skills that one should have to be a PMHNP, and I will be using apna.org for this information. I will be using healthcareers.com to provide the different types of practice setting a PMHNP can work at, as well as the different sub-specialties a PMHNP can get into. I will use americansentinel.edu to show the importance and high demand for PMHNP's in America today. I will be using nursinglicensemap.com to revise the existing educational steps to become a PMHNP. Finally, I will be using onlinenursingdegrees.wilkes.edu to explain the different types of disorders a PMHNP may be diagnosing or treating.
