What was difficult while writing my research paper...

The one thing that was probably the hardest for me to do was to find reliable and credible sources. My topic is very uncommon and there has not been a lot of research conducted about it. I was surprised that I found as many sources as I did but some of the research and information was the same. One source that I was questionable about was Wikipedia. After doing our Wikipedia stubs, I understand how easy it is to change and edit information online. However, the information that was on Wikipedia was very useful and was different from what the other sources provided. I ended up using some information off there that I was able to back up with other more credible sources but was still disappointed that the majority of the information was questionable. This instance makes me wish that Wikipedia didn't allow others to edit and add whatever information they wanted.
