Salut. Je ne suis pas sur ca que je voudrais dire sur les pages comme ca. I never know what to say on pages like this. I'm studying French in High School. Trying to use it as often as I can, just to practice. This is a good site for me, because I can learn to improve my English writing, my research ablities, and my knowledge of the world. My parents are Republican. I'm 15, and really don't yet know what I think, but my folks are making me watch the election closely to learn and understand the importance of Democracy in America.

JJ's Rules to Research

(Please comment or edit as appropriate.)

I think I want to be a writer or a journalist some day, so I'm really putting an effort into learning to research on topics I know nothing about. When I find a "red link", I will do the following. If anyone has suggestions for improving my research skills, I"d love to hear it.

1) I start at wiki for most non-political articles. I read what they have to say, and jot down what I think they said. Then I see if it makes sense.

2) I go to at least 2 other sites on Google that are not associated with wiki. If possible, I try to find an "offical" site, like "The Official site for the NRA." I read what they say about themselves, and see if it matches wiki. If the official site disagrees with wiki, I use the "offical" site. I use ".gov" or ".us" sites where possible because they should have the best info out there.

3) I write my pages based on those 3 or more sources.
