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[edit]

Edit this section to compile the bibliography for your Wikipedia assignment. Add the name and/or notes about what each source covers, then use the "Cite" button to generate the citation for that source.

Apollo 13 Flight Journal - Day 3, Part 2: “Houston, We’ve Had a Problem.” https://history.nasa.gov/afj/ap13fj/08day3-problem.html. Accessed 12 Nov. 2023.

This source involves a detailed transcript of communications between the spacecraft and on ground control, as well as detailed step by step of what happened during that time. Some details of the Apollo 13 event could potentially be utilized.^[1]

Houston, Rick, et al. Go, Flight!: The Unsung Heroes of Mission. https://www.proquest.com/docview/2132049447/5CF3A92D75CC4BDCPQ/1. Accessed 12 Nov. 2023.

This book describes the stories of flight controllers in the Johnson Space Center. I plan to use this source to corroborate some of Liebergot's statements.^[2]
I do not intend to use this source anymore

Liebergot, Sy, and David M. Harland. Apollo EECOM: Journey of a Lifetime. Apogee Books, 2003.

This book is Liebergot's autobiography which delineates his life and career and mission control. I will use this to see if I can fill in some early life/education information, as well as fill in the gaps for his career.^[3]

Seymour Liebergot Oral History. https://historycollection.jsc.nasa.gov/JSCHistoryPortal/history/oral_histories/LiebergotS/LiebergotS_4-27-98.htm. Accessed 12 Nov. 2023.

This interview transcript included many anecdotes and more information about different points of Liebergot's career. I think it will be helpful in filling in the gaps for his career, as well as perhaps additional context for information on his role in the Apollo 13 incident.^[4]

Sy Liebergot | Astronaut Scholarship Foundation. https://www.astronautscholarship.org/Astronauts/sy-liebergot/. Accessed 12 Nov. 2023.

This source provides a general overview of some of the roles Liebergot undertook during his career. I think it will be useful in a Career section that outlines different positions he has held.^[5]

The Apollo 13 EECOM Flight Controller | Sy Liebergot (Full Episode #59). www.youtube.com, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fSWHrbHnWs0. Accessed 12 Nov. 2023.

This interview includes many anecdotes and detailed description of the Apollo 13 incident. I think it will be useful in an Apollo 13 section as well as filling gaps in his career.^[6]

Viglietti, Lukas, and Charlie Duke. Apollo Confidential. https://www.proquest.com/docview/2288086696/5CF3A92D75CC4BDCPQ/3. Accessed 12 Nov. 2023.

This book outlines the Apollo missions. I will use the Apollo 13 section to corroborate facts and details from Liebergot's interviews and book.^[7]
I do not intend to use this source anymore

I will use a new source I found from the wayback machine, of a pdf of all the assignments for each mission.^[8]

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.

Outline of proposed changes[edit]

Click on the edit button to draft your outline.

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.
