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

Apple, Carolyn. "World War II: "Donut Dollies" & the American Red Cross." Delaware Historical & Cultural Affairs. ^[1]
- This is an article written by Dr. Carolyn Apple who was a retired emergency medicine physician and Delaware Division of Historical and Cultural Affairs volunteer. Since it is published by an official government organization, it should be a reliable source. It clarifies some of the information used by the original author of the Wikipedia page who may have discredited Apple's contributions or accidentally plagiarized in some places.
Madison, James H. (Fall 2007). "Wearing Lipstick to War." National Archives. ^[2]
- I believe this article is reliable because it was adapted from Madison's book Slinging Doughnuts for the Boys: An American Woman in World War II which was published by a university press in conjunction with the fact that it is available on an official government archive website. This source added some more details to fill in the gaps that the original author did not include. I plan to use this source for its first-person accounts and quotes of what volunteering for the ARC's Clubmobile was really like.
"Records of the American National Red Cross, 1881-2008". National Archives Catalog. Retrieved April 11, 2023^[3]
- This is a reputable and useful primary source that will allow me to see historic records from the ARC including documentation related to the application process as well as personal papers and photographs contributed by former ARC volunteers or their families. I would also like to include images of some of my findings on the Wikipedia where relevant.
- Hall, Martha L.; Orzada, Belinda T.; Lopez-Gyodsh, Dilia (2015). "American Women's Wartime Dress: Sociocultural Ambiguity Regarding Women's Roles During World War II". The Journal of American Culture. 38 (3): 232–242 – via ProQuest.^[4]
  - This source is written by three authors who are well-established academics. I plan to use this source to talk about the uniforms ARC Clubmobile staffers were expected to wear and perhaps in another section regarding the roles of femininity and gender roles in this context, should I choose to include it.
- Milkman, Ruth (January 1987). "Review: Gender, Consciousness, and Social Change: Rethinking Women's World War II Experience". Contemporary Sociology. 16 (1): 21–25 – via JSTOR.^[5]
  - This source is a review of other notable contributions to the field of Women and War. I plan to use this source in a similar way to "American Women's Wartime Dress: Sociocultural Ambiguity Regarding Women's Roles During World War II" in that if I choose to include a section discussing gender roles, I will use this source.
- Martín-Moruno, Dolores (February 19, 2020). "Feminist perspectives on the history of humanitarian relief (1870–1945)". Medicine, Conflict, and Survival. 36 (1): 2–18 – via Taylor & Francis Online. ^[6]
  - This source is similar to the previous two sources listed in its reputability and my intentions for utility.
