So, you’ve decided to create a page in Wikipedia – that’s great! But hold up. Before you dive into writing, let’s talk about the secret sauce that makes a Wikipedia article trustworthy and long-lasting: reliable sources. Without them, your page might end up in the dreaded Wikipedia deletion zone. The good news? You don’t have to go through this all on your own. Ghostwriting Services (GWS) exists to ensure that we accompany you throughout the process. Now let’s examine why credibility should be important to you and how GWS can make your experience with Wikipedia a piece of cake.
Why Is It Crucial to Obtain Information From Reliable Sources?
Just try to think about constructing a house without proper groundwork. That is what Wikipedia becomes when it is written without citations from peer-reviewed sources. Wikipedia thrives with verifiability which implies that every statement in an article has to be supported by reliable sources.
Without reliable sources:
- Lack of credibility may cause your page to be flagged.
- It could have been edited until it was beyond recognition or possibly, erased entirely.
- Your audience will not believe in your message, no matter how persuasive it may sound.
What Makes a Source Reliable?
1. Verifiability
2. Independence and Neutrality
The source should not be connected to the article’s subject in any way. For instance, writing about a company’s success stories in its own blog may be perceived as biassed or promotional. The most reliable sources here are those from third party sources.
3. Notability
Examples of Reliable Sources
- Academic Publications: Original works like peer-reviewed journals and scholarly articles are the best.
- Reputable News Outlets: As for the media outlets think New York Times, BBC, or Guardian. If it’s a household name in journalism, then you are right on track.
- Books by Esteemed Publishers: Books published by reputable publishing corporations are heavy non-fiction books.
- Magazines and Journals: Scholarly journals with a well developed editorship, such as the Economist, National Geographic, Forbes, and so on.
Why Choose GWS?
GWS isn’t simply about penning; it’s about establishing your Wikipedia page on proper grounds. Here’s how they make magic happen:
- Expert Research: Specifically, GWS’s work is to pinpoint and confirm elite sources. They know precisely where to find high-quality sources so that you won’t have to spend hours searching for them.
- Professional Content Creation: All articles are written by their team of skilled writers and are written in such a way that there will be no Wikipedia eyebrows raised by the articles.
- Flawless Citation Management: From the style of writing the reference to checking whether the reference is accurate, GWS guarantees you of correct citations.
Tips for Finding Reliable Sources on Your Own
1. Begin with Libraries & Academic Databases
There is a plethora of reliable information on the internet due to search engines such as JSTOR and Google Scholar.
2. Look for News Archives
3. Cross-Check Information
You should be wary of sources that are either promotional in nature or that may contain the writer’s bias. When it comes to Wikipedia, balance is the watchword.
Wrapping It All Up
Writing an article for Wikipedia is not only as a way of reaching out to people with information, but as a way of reaching out to people responsibly. Sources are always the cornerstone within any of the good articles and it might be challenging to find good ones. That is why Ghostwriting Services (GWS) is honored to be your partner in this endeavour. You will find all that you need – from the identification of appropriate sources to creating a professional-looking article.
