My 1st duty is to find featured articles on wikipedia and finally I found out that an article about "Stonewall riots", which is one of the biggest gay movements in the United States, is actually one of the most high quality articles. In my latest essay, I wrote about same-sex marriage, so this article was very helpful to understand, how those LGBT movements happened in the past and how the government treated with those actions at that time. I think this article is very sophisticated, because this has enough, clear references at the end of the article, so there are no question marks or signs which say "This article needs additional citations for verification" or so force. Moreover, this article is very well categorized and explained in detail, so if you are interested in LGBT rights or gay movements, please check the following homepage address.

In addition to this, if you are looking for FA sources, you can find them easily from the following wikipedia page.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Featured_articles
On this page, featured articles or topics are listed alphabetically or based on themes, so you can find high quality sources, which are related to your essay or interest, much more quickly.
Secondly, I'd like to talk about zotero. This time was the 2nd time to make citations by using zotero and generally speaking, I was able to use zotero appropriately. However, when I want to do citations from Japanese newspaper resources, (ex. The Japan Times) sometimes zotero doesn't work well. The place, where the author's name should be, becomes somehow blank and when I use shortcut with Ctrl+Shift+A/V, then the title of the articles is pasted on the document. I'm not sure whether there are certain ways to solve those problems quickly, but people have to sometimes type author's names or necessary information by themselves.
I'd like to continue using these techniques to improve my research and study. Thank you for your time :) See ya!
