Wikipedia

While most teachers (and professors) do not accept Wikipedia as a citable source for academic research, it can be a great place to begin your research on unfamiliar topics.  Similarly to other encyclopedia, its articles provide background information to help researchers develop more effective internet and database queries (searches).  In addition, the list of “References and further readings” often provide access to sources that are vetted and meet information evaluation criteria.  Remember, Wikipedia is an encyclopedia which allows anyone to add and edit content, regardless of their expertise or authority. Always verify and support the information you find on Wikipedia (or any other encyclopedia) through reputable and vetted sources.
