To-Do List

=Sources=

After seeing comments about my edits containing "crappy" sources, rather than feeling discouraged I decided to create a list of reliable sources and sources to avoid. This list includes sources I've personally blacklisted for certain or all fields. Some websites might be inappropriate in one category but appropriate in another.

This list is incomplete and is subject to change. Please feel free to edit this page. Note that I have only included sources for fields that I would, in general, write about.
