When writing a research paper, a student should typically avoid the following two types of sources:
1. **a personal fan site** - These are often not credible or reliable for academic research.
2. **a wiki website** - While wikis can be useful for getting a broad overview of a topic, they can be edited by anyone and may not provide accurate, reliable information.
So the correct answers are **a personal fan site** and **a wiki website**.
1. **a personal fan site** - These are often not credible or reliable for academic research.
2. **a wiki website** - While wikis can be useful for getting a broad overview of a topic, they can be edited by anyone and may not provide accurate, reliable information.
So the correct answers are **a personal fan site** and **a wiki website**.
