We will be combing through Wikipedia and occasionally using Google to find reliable sources to show how to expand an article. We will only be using Reliable sources as determined by Wikipedia and it's community, and while there are potentially limitless reliable sources, several examples would be, as outlined by Wikipedia, The New York Times, The Economist, The Chicago Tribune, the Washington Post, for topic such as politics, whereas if we were looking into Video games, we would consult approved websites such as IGN, Kotaku, Famitsu, Game Informer, PlayStation Magazine, etc. Not all sources are allowed for all topics, and depending on what the student wishes to expand upon, they will and must become familiar with the Reliable Sources allowed for that topic so that their contributions will not be challenged or removed.
