This article includes two short reviews on Robert Kraus’s stories, Where are You Going Little Mouse? and How Spider Saved Valentine’s Day. This will help me add more criticism and commentary to building a robust reception section.

This is a useful biographical source on Robert Kraus. It includes more expansive information on his family and his career, in addition to presenting new information about his education and his awards/reception. Also extremely helpful is an entire list of his complete body of work, and this is divided by which projects he was author, illustrator, and publisher for.

This article is from the same source as the review written by Mary Budd. It is another review of a story by Kraus, this one called Come Out and Play Little Mouse. I think three from the same reviewers should be enough to assess patterns and critique. I might not need all three, but just to create a picture of how this group views his collection of work rather than micro-analyzing only a story or two.

This is an obituary for Robert Kraus published by the L.A Times. I think this is interesting to see the publicity and influence of his death. The article includes a general overview of who he is (as obituaries do), but it has some niche anecdotes that are really interesting.

This article is another obituary. However, it is different because it is from the newspaper where Kraus lived for a long time before he passed. It includes details that pertain to his later life that would be particularly helpful for adding to the wikipedia article. It also includes many quotes from Kraus himself that could be helpful to add or pull information from to better describe him.

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.
