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.

Bibliography

I will be using the article Unlearning the Violence of the Normative by Benny LeMaster to talk about what heteronormativity is, the harmful impacts of heteronormativity against LGBTQ+ people, and how to heal from heteronormativity^[1]. This article gives a succinct definition of heteronormativity that is easy to understand even if you are not familiar with the term and the impacts make sense as well. The article pulls heavily from dialogue of real people, which would help sympathy to the cause.

I will be using the article Bridging Privacy, Face, and Heteronormativity: Stories of Coming out by Dominic Pecoraro to talk about the links between heteronormativity and coming out^[2]. This article also gives good definitions on the subject if other articles are not supplemental enough and gives impacts of heteronormativity in the context of coming out. Again, this article would be helpful because it talks about the harmful consequences of heteronormativity and is very thorough in its analysis of the topic.

I will be using the article 'If you don't "pass" as cis, you don't exist' by Isabel Villegas Simón^[3]. This article is very successful in talking about the prevalence of heteronormativity in media and how cisheteronormativity specifically affects trans audiences. It gives specific examples about transnormatitivty and the ‘cis gaze’ which is very relevant to the topic of cisheteronormativity. This would be very helpful to use since it has such thorough examples of cisheteronormativity and also mentions topics relating to trans communication as well.

I will be using the article Family Splatters: Rescuing Heteronormativity from the Zombie Apocalypse by Kathryn A. Cady and Thomas Oates to analyze the prevalence of heteronormative family relations in popular contemporary zombie media^[4]. In this article, they also analyze how the strong female characters in this media are still portrayed as overly feminine and still fit traditional stereotypes tied to heteronormativity. I think this article would be useful because it shows an example of how media perpetuates heteronormativity.

I will be using the article “We Don't See LGBTQ Differences”: Cisheteronormativity and Concealing Phobias and Irrational Fears Behind Rhetorics of Acceptance by Shinsuki Egushi and Roberta Chevrette to talk about the way systemic structures have perpetuated heteronormativity, along with the everyday and relational contexts in which LGBTQ+ people are subjected to heteronormativity^[5]. He further expands on everyday examples of heteronormativity that other articles have talked about. I want to specifically talk about this article because it talks about the nuances of cisheteronormativity in work spaces and immigration as well, which is very unique and interesting and shows how embedded heteronormativity is.

I will be using the article "Negotiating Heteronormativity Dialectically: Lesbian Couples’ Display of Symbols in Culture" by Elizabeth A. Suter and Karen L. Daas to explore how lesbian couples are specifically affected by societal norms, heteronormativity, and expectations related to heterosexuality^[6]. This article includes a study of how couples use symbols to communicate their relationship status and adapt in a heteronormative world. I think this article would be useful because it analyzes heteronormativity in a specific context instead of analyzing it in general as a concept.

I will be using the article Challenging Heteronormativity: Recontextualizing References to Members of Gay Male and Lesbian Couples by Brian L. Heisterkamp to analyze how gay and lesbian couples challenge heteronormative assumptions in everyday language use and conversations. The article talks about how couples navigate gendered language, pronoun use, and the assumption of heterosexuality in their interactions. This article will be useful because it is very specific with its examples of heteronormativity in linguistics and conversations and how LGBTQ+ couples challenge heteronormativity through recontextualization. ^[7]

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.

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.
