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

King, Charles. 2008. The Ghost of Freedom: A History of the Caucasus.^[1]
- This book was published by Oxford University press, so it should be reliable. The author gives detailed accounts about the historical struggles of freedom in the Caucasus from the time of the Czar through the Soviet era, so it will be helpful in adding information about politics, activism, and the social mood of the Dagestan SSR at different points in its history
Dudoignon, Stephane; Noack, Christian. 2014. Allah's Kolkhozes: migration, de-Stalinisation, privatisation, and the new Muslim congregations in the Soviet realm (1950s-2000s).^[2]
- The book was published by a prominent German Turkologist (study of Turkic peoples) publisher, so it should be a reliable source for information about social and cultural changes in Dagestan. The book talks about the impact of religion, urbanization, and collectivization on the Caucasus, which should be helpful in identifying how those factors impacted the Dagestan SSR during the Soviet period, and what the real world implications of them were.
Marshall, Alex. 2010. The Caucasus Under Soviet Rule.^[3]
- The book was published by Routledge publishing, so it should be a reliable and fact based source. This book analyzes the political, social, and cultural changes in the Caucasus during the Soviet era, which will help give more details to these topics in the context of the Dagestan SSR.
Encyclopedia Britannica. 2022. Dagestan.^[4]
- This webpage is from Encyclopedia Britannica, so it should be trust worthy. Although it does not give much information specific to Dagestan during the Soviet era, it gives a lot of geographical details, which the Dagestan SSR wikipedia page currently lacks. Adding in this information will give readers of the page better context on Dagestan's place in the world, and therefore a better understanding of the other information in the article.
