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.

Outline of proposed changes[edit]

Inspiration

- Villa Emo as a predecessor for the Villa Rotonda: changed the use of porticos for architectural purposes: no longer for agricultural needs, more for ornamentation. They retain the shape and stylistic reference of traditional porticos but lack the utility of previous versions.

Design

- also traced back to Venetian Terraferma villa architecture which was marked by three major characteristics: porticos, dovecot towers, and a ramp to the main entrance.

-the use of porticos in Villa architecture can be traced back to pre-Palladian architecture, as they were codified by Giuseppe Falcone before Palladio was even a part of the profession.

- porticos can have multiple functions but the main few are protection for people, animals, and produce from the natural elements, storage for agricultural tools, and storage for agricultural produce.

-Dovecots are also adapted in use for the Villa Rotonda as compared to their original employment. They originally signaled visually that a villa was a "self sufficient entity" and provided shelter for birds in inclement weather.

-Despite the influence from prior Palladio projects and Venetian Villa architecture, the Villa Rotonda is seen as "an architectural manifestation hitherto unknown".

- Scholars have created three views of the building from which it can be analyzed. That seen in Palladio's I quattro libri dell'architettura, originally drawn and designed by the architect. Another is its first completion, which most closely reflects the original drawings. The final version is the Villa as it stands now, with all of the alterations made by architects and owners following Palladio's time.

- the facade recalls ancient domestic architecture, and Palladio believed that in reviving this form, it would bring back "ancient origins of sacred form"

-though the four facades are near identical, it is apparent that the northeast and southeast facing facades were slightly priviledged as evidenced by their ascents to the building having the most apparent use as seen in the pattern of use in the grass.

- circles represented things of the heavenly realm, while squares represented earth, the elements, and the cardinal directions.

Landscape

- the structure is located near the river Bacchiglione which separated the villa from the city Vincenza

Current conditions

- as the Villa was worked on by numerous other architects throughout the centuries, it is not known exactly which details were included in the original plan and vision of Palladio and which were added by the subsequent architects and owners.

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.
