To avoid the wikipedia issue (and also because research papers are a pony show) I wrote grade school research papers that were so obscure (at the time), that I used a geocities page as my source. Myotonic Fainting Goats... some dude who had a farm of them wrote up some web page about them.
Exactly. Wikipedia is a tool for finding sources. They're already cited at the bottom. Just click the footnote, navigate to the source, and fact check it.
