Introduction
When given a research assignment, students often turn first to  Wikipedia, the popular free online encyclopedia. With over 20,000,000 articles, Wikipedia is a valuable source for anyone seeking general information on a topic. For student research, however, Wikipedia is most valuable when it is used, not as an authoritative source, but as a gateway to more reliable research sources.
