A student should avoid the following two types of sources when writing a research paper:
1. **a wiki website** - Wikis can be edited by anyone, which raises concerns about the reliability and credibility of the information.
2. **a personal fan site** - Personal fan sites may present biased or unverified information that does not adhere to academic standards.
While the other sources listed can generally be considered more credible, it's always important for students to evaluate the content and context of each source they plan to use.
