Wikipedia
- Wikipedia is an uneven source, so take it with a grain of salt. However, it is very useful for exploring a topic.
- Don't cite Wikipedia. If Wikipedia cites a source for an interesting fact, you may be able to find that original source. If you evaluate the source as being credible, you can cite it yourself.
