Activity 1 - Quality and Importance Ratings in WikiProjects

Hurriyat, Uzbekistan

No rating given for this page and no content on its talk page. The article is a stub, and has virtually no information on it regarding the subject. Therefore the most evident way to increase its rating would be to conduct relevant research and insert required information into the Wikipedia article regarding the subject matter of the article. As it is a very localised region, the council/governing body of the region itself, as well as any regional authorities, histories or publications would be the ideal location to search for information to put into the article, whilst also providing a source that is relatively verifiable, accompanied with relevant referencing.

Activity 2 - Citation Needed

Rui da Silva - Wikipedia page which I edited, inserting a "citation needed" tag at the end of the last sentence of the first paragraph.

Talk:Rui da Silva - the talk page where I discussed the need to insert a citation at the end of the last sentence of the first paragraph.

Activity - Annotated Bibliography

The Battle of Alexander at Issus - featured article where I selected the source.

Campbell, Gordon (2007). The Grove encyclopedia of classical art and architecture, Volume 1. Oxford University Press. ISBN 0-19-530082-3. - the source I selected.

Scholarship:

• The authors of the source involve an an extensive array of highly qualified academics involved in formulating the encyclopaedia, contributing through individual articles (likely based on their respective areas of expertise) to formulate the text. The editor is Gordon Campbell, a professor of Renaissance studies at the University of Leicester, constituting him as a highly qualified individual to act as editor of the text.
• The source was published by the Oxford University Press, again attesting to its academic rigour.
• As the source is constituted of articles formulated by an array of academics, there is no doubt that it is independently verifiable and peer-reviewed.

Context:

• The source was published in 2007, which is relatively recent in the context of the vast subject matter of its topic. It therefore is able to utilise most modern scholarship in its formulation.
• The intent of the text is to educate and disseminate academic research, as it is an academic text. It is also intended for an academic audience.

Content:

• The source represents a vast scholarship on a plethora of topics, as it is an encyclopaedia. It therefore includes the primary information on the subject and does not overrepresent any particular topic or omit any details where not appropriate or relevant.
• The source is mostly fact, as it is an encyclopaedia and seeks to provide basic information on its relevant subjects. However, it may include prominent opinions on certain subjects from leading academics.
• The style and structure of the content is very orderly and appropriate, as it is an encyclopaedia and therefore is concerned with this as a primary consideration to promote clarity, accessibility. and reference.
