  • Select a person from the list on the board and find them on Wikipedia
  • Review their Wikipedia page, looking for any information that should have a citation to back it up but does not. You may want to look out for dates, people, places, etc.
    • (remember - the lead/introduction does not require citations)
  • Research what sources we have about that person in books and/or in the library databases
  • Research specific information to back up or prove the uncited statements on Wikipedia
