Fuller, Hailey Marie, "From Daimon to Demon: The Evolution of the Demon from Antiquity to Early Christianity" (2013). UNLV Theses, Dissertations, Professional Papers, and Capstones. 1826. (p. 60-68)

This article discusses how christians would go against Satan, like converting pagans to christianity or helping to cure diseases because diseases were associated with the devil. The article touches on how the thought of the demon evolved to not just being a physical thing but an idea like greed. A monk mentioned that the only way to get to heaven was to resist the urges that the demons give oneself. The concept of pagan religions transformed to the worship of demons in the christian faith which in turn made it okay to go against those other religions. There is not much written about the author of this article (Hailey Marie Fuller). However, the article does appear to be scholarly, and the article regularly cites other sources for information. So if you wanted to you could fact check the information in the article. I could add a section to Wikipedia about how the worship of other religions was seen as worshiping the devil.

Malleus Maleficarum, Part 2, Chapter VIII, "But all three kinds have this in common, that though they are very heavy," hosted on the Internet Sacred Text Archive

The Wiki article Christian Demonology is about the evolution of the image of Demons in the Christian faith. The Wiki article is organized by first talking about the origin of how demons got into the Christian faith, then the article discusses how the number 666 became associated with demons, it talks about what demons look like, and it talks about the ability of demons to possess people. The Wiki article didn’t have any source that was used more than once, so I settled on Malleus Maleficarum which discusses what demons and witches have the ability to do. Some demons can injure but can’t cure, cure but not injure, and some can do both. The text goes into what is involved in making a pact with a demon, such as giving your soul to them for eternity. This text seems relevant to the Wiki article because it touches on the ability of demons and what they do, this aspect is included in the Wiki article. Is this text accurate to the catholic belief however? According to another Wikipedia article, this text went against what the catholic church agreed with at the time. This text does give us an insight into demons, however I’m not sure if this is a good article to incorporate into the Wiki article because of the fact that the Church didn’t approve of this book as being correct in the catholic religion. With that being said, it does give us insights into what other people that werent the church believed.

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.

Examples:

Luke, Learie. 2007. Identity and secession in the Caribbean: Tobago versus Trinidad, 1889–1980 Kingston, Jamaica: University of the West Indies Press.
- 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.
Galeano, Gloria; Bernal, Rodrigo (2013-11-08). "Sabinaria , a new genus of palms (Cryosophileae, Coryphoideae, Arecaceae) from the Colombia-Panama border". Phytotaxa.
- 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.
Baker, William J.; Dransfield, John (2016). "Beyond Genera Palmarum: progress and prospects in palm systematics". Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society.
- 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.

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.
