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.

It is an article on a Guardian website that is informational and is rated as reliable and easily accessible to the public. It majorly contributes to why Ye Haiyan gained a ton of media attention.

Furthermore, it explains her struggles against the authorities. While her activism has exposed the authorities and school officials, it has had a bad effect on her daughter because no school is willing to enroll her.

It is an article on a China Digital Space website that is informational and is rated as reliable and easily accessible to the public except in China. It has a more in-depth biography of Ye Haiyan’s early life, and it describes her activism, her support for prostitution, and her supporters. She attempted to decriminalize prostitution but was unable to. Again, it mentions the accused school principal of raping several students. She created a community group that educated the sex workers about health issues and safety. Many people were scared of prostitutes and not even sitting on chairs that they sat on because they were mistakenly believing that they would capture sexual diseases.

- Government agents left Haiyan, her 14-year-old daughter, and her boyfriend on the side of the road. Ye was evicted from her rental home in Zhongshan, Guangdong province. She was later seen to have posted on Sina Weibo a picture surrounded by their belongings with a sign that read, “Zhongshan does not welcome you; Guangzhou does not welcome you either. I will break your legs if I ever see you again in Zhongshan”. This sign was given to her as the agents abandoned her, she had since returned to her home Wuhan, in Hubei province. I want

- Haiyan is one of the leading activists from China. She expresses her beliefs through her body herself. She stages enjoyment of sexual pleasure and experience of sex work, the study demonstrates China’s individualized sexual revolution. She is an internet celebrity who has put herself through sex work for the sole purpose of exposing how bad the workers' conditions are. Haiyan has been good at using the media, especially social media, to gain media attention and support.

Marchetti, Gina. “Feminist Activism in the First Person: An Analysis of Nanfu Wang’s Hooligan Sparrow (2016).” Studies in Documentary Film, vol. 14, no. 1, Jan. 2020, pp. 30–49. Taylor and Francis+NEJM, https://doi.org/10.1080/17503280.2020.1720090. Accessed 23, Oct. 2023.
- Filmed by up-and-coming film director Nanfu Wang, “Hooligan Sparrow“ focuses on Ye Haiyan. The activist with the same nickname is a main feature in the film. Filming was its own feat itself which is proven in the documentary, as you visibly see Nanfus’ struggles. After Nanfu introduces herself to the camera, we get to the main person of focus, Ye Haiyan. Born in 1975 she first made her way onto the activist scene in 2005. This is the start of her activism for sex workers. She worked as a free sex agent to migrant workers and publicly posted blogs about the experience.
Branigan, Tania. “Chinese Police Refuse to Release Activist Who Campaigned against Child Abuse.” The Guardian, 3 June 2013. The Guardian, https://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/jun/03/chinese-police-activist-child-abuse-ye-haiya Accessed 1, Nov. 2023.
- After a protesting event in Wanning, Hainan province, Ye who protested alongside several other protesters was detained. They protested as a school principal had been accused of sleeping with students of his school. In the article there is a picture of Ye holding up a sign that has the word ‘Principle take a room with me instead Leave the pupils alone.’ This message from Ye alone led hundreds of others to do the same. The Guardian is a well known and respected newspaper. Their news and articles are a good and credible source. I plan to use this article to add events into Ye’s timeline of activism.
Hooligan Sparrow | Human Rights Watch Film Festival. https://ff.hrw.org/film/hooligan-sparrow. Accessed 3 Nov. 2023.
- With the focus of the 2013 incident of a school principle raping 6 of his students a government official and a group of activist quickly become fugitives. Nanfu the films director works along side Ye Haiyan “Hooligan Sparrow” to cover the events that follow. Ye is a quick target in the eye’s of government and state alike. Nothing such as detention or interrogations will stop Ye from protesting. This thrilling documentary that shows a group of friends and activists covering China, and that they will go to any length to expose truth and bring justice to those involved.
