    If you've three other sources in your outline plan that you can evaluate then no. Btw, you can't use wikipedia.

    Simple, find 3 sources, and evaluate them. Evaluate = Google them and find reviews by other people of them. Obviously don't just pick the first ones that come up spend a good bit of time reading the reviews, and do pick an mixes, take bits from here and there. It's okay to say your sources were useless. Also, please don't copypasta loads... Make sure to reword any lines you think might get you in the height of ****. ;)
