Before We Get Started...And while Wikipedia is a fantastic source for initial research and topic finding, it is NOT to be used beyond STEP 1. DO NOT commit plagiarism by using information from these articles in your FINAL paper. Just as you would not copy sentences from a general encyclopedia, like Britannica, you should not copy from Wikipedia. You SHOULD definitely look at the notes, references, bibliography, and external links of articles which can lead you to academic sources that will strengthen your project.
