Students should avoid the following types of sources when writing a research paper:
1. **a wiki website** - Wikis can be edited by anyone and may not provide reliable or accurate information.
2. **a personal fan site** - Personal fan sites may lack credibility and provide biased or unverified information.
The other options, such as a print encyclopedia, a government website, a published book, and a national newspaper, are generally more reliable sources for academic research.
