This article is a profile of Toni and her accomplishments within the beauty arena, which also details some of her successes during her time at NYX. I will be using this source to start filling the 15-year gap in the NYX Beauty section of her Wikipedia article because it provides some insight on what she did in her time as CEO

This article is a brief interview of Toni Ko that details a lot of the same information as previous sources. I will use the section about paying her mother interest for her original 250 thousand dollar investment to fill in the gap about her mother in the wikipage.

This MSNBC article discusses a lot of information that is needed to fill some of the content gaps in the Wikipedia article, such as Toni Ko’s decisions as CEO of NYX cosmetics that helped her sell the company for $500 million. Thus, I will be using this article to talk about the actual business strategies that helped her succeed in her field.

This article details how selling her makeup startup impacted her emotionally, and how she got back into the industry. This source will be very helpful because I will be able to use it for context in the section about her later career in the Wikipedia article.

This article gives a quick bio on Toni Ko and talks about the separating factors that made NYX shine in the beauty industry. This is exactly the content I need to fill the content gap in the NYX section, and I will use the information about how Toni successfully utilized social media to grow her brand.

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.

- 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.

- 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.
Example: Baker, William J.; Dransfield, John (2016). "Beyond Genera Palmarum: progress and prospects in palm systematics". Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society.^[3]
- 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.
