Accordingly, why have you chosen this proposed Wikipedia article in particular?

The reason we as a group have decided to chose this article is because it was an article that peaked all of our interests. As a group we realized that this particular topic is something important all around the world. Religious music is the creator of all types of music genres we see today. It is a page that is important to have in order to create a wide and well understanding of how and where music is derived from. Thus, coming from religion. At first glance, we noticed that this article was in need of major assistance. Although there were many subsections already put there, it is need of in depth analysis of both these subsections and the topic of Religious music as a whole. Furthermore, we recognized that this article was an S article, which means it is underdeveloped. It will need some additions to the overall tone and analysis of this article. We also chose this particular page because we have found a lot of scholarly valuable research in relation to Religious music.These are some of the reasons why we chose this page in particular.

Which lines of inquiry you plan to follow in order to ensure its holistic representation of a topic, person, or thing.

Religious music is an important part of cultures all around the world. An underdeveloped article regarding the different religious music of various groups of people is doing cultural values as a whole an injustice. There is a substantial amount of information that can be brought to light in this article; this will provide insight on the different components of religious music: what makes up the musical elements, what value they hold in society, how this music has been developed throughout history. To ensure that this topic will be properly represented, we will follow the steps of breaking it down into components. Providing important information regarding each separate component mentioned above will bring the topic together and demonstrate an overall insight into the world of religious music and the culture it represents.

Which sections of the article will you compose from scratch?

In the Wikipedia article for “Religious music,” there are many sections (different genres of religious music) that require expansion. As a group, we will work on the specific genres of religious music that we each chose that are already present in the article with the possibility of adding additional genres. Although some of these sections have a couple of sentences while the other sections are completely blank, it is most likely that we will compose these sections from scratch with facts found through our own research. We will definitely need to refine the leading paragraph(s) and add more citations, which should come easily after researching.

How will you draw on multimedia resources to visualize your article’s perspective on the topic at hand?

To expand on the article we have chosen, the use of multimedia resources will be needed to fully understand the topic and specific subtopics. Our topic is religious music and in our group we have divided the subtopics up amongst ourselves. For example, some of the subtopics are Christian music, Muslim music, and Sikh music. To understand the histories of different types of religious music we will need to read articles and books. But to understand how this music sounds and the messages it portrays we will have to watch videos and listen to audio recordings. Without using several multimedia resources, we will not truly understand the significance of different types of religious music. The use of multimedia resources may prove extremely useful when researching subtopics that are virtually unknown to us. For example, most of us have never heard Taoist or Zoroastrian music and listening to it would help us understand its meaning. For other subtopics, such as Christian and Muslim music, we may already know how they sound and we may know about the messages they convey.

What kinds of research will you bring to the table in support of your writing process?[edit]

The first type of research conducted will be in the form of reliable information from different websites. Varying from JSTOR articles, peer-reviewed sources and the inclusion of citations.Next we will consider different “.gov” and “.edu” pages to implement into our research. We will be collecting context for each genre;origin stories, vital insuremental tools, and potentially rituals performed. Attempt to include very relevant information from the past and a more recent time frame. For example, popular songs that may have had a unique reaction from the public, and iconic musical composers within the musical genre. Also the utilization of Baruch’s database/library. Due to the musical genres being so cultural, we may look into Youtube as a source to experience rituals,festivals, and other forms of celebratory acts with the genre. Lastly, incorporate pictures that uniquely represent the musical theme so readers can physically see the difference in cultures.

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.

Example: Luke, Learie. 2007. Identity and secession in the Caribbean: Tobago versus Trinidad, 1889–1980.^[1]
- 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.
Example: Galeano, Gloria; Bernal, Rodrigo (2013-11-08). "Sabinaria , a new genus of palms (Cryosophileae, Coryphoideae, Arecaceae) from the Colombia-Panama border". Phytotaxa.^[2]
- 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.
