Alright, so as much as I love wikipedia or other sources of information on the internet there are a couple problems with it. For the most part it is pretty unreliable as most of my college papers have shown me. The other part is that I usually have no idea what to actually look up.

So that's where I need your help. I need to know what to look up and then I'll write a couple pages worth of information via my blog. I will look up anything and I will look it up extensively using legitimate websites among other things.

So the first topic to get five votes will be the first topic to be looked up and written about. I'll try and make it so that the topics will be reader-friendly (which means you can give me a hard topic and I can translate it to laymen terms).

Hope you guys are interested. Here are a couple ideas I had.

1) Drinks (different drinks, their history, among other things).
2) Hip-hop (the history, what it has become, different inluencial artists).

You decide what to have here. I hope this becomes an information center. I will include an MLA citation for those worried about plagiarism.

People see me and only see a reflection of themselves.

Is this a "do my homework" thread combined with a "I can't search properly" thread? Talk to your librarian.

Edit: Wow, apparently I completely misread the OP. As you were

I really hope you follow up with this task. I'll give you a challenge about a few topics I am familiar with and maybe you could teach me a thing or two with credible sources. It'd be awesome.

1) Cognac (origins history best ways to enjoy how it modernized)
2) Haute Horologie (explain all the different movements you know, your position on luxury conglomerates - Swatch/PPR/LVMH)
3) History of fashion (it's origins to now)
4) Skin care (Acne/stretch marks/wrinkles/tanning/products/future commercial products in progress or what is being researched now)
5) High-Fidelity Audio (i'd personally love to hear what your data tells you as to achieving the best audio quality)
6) Royal court cuisine in South Korea (it's origins, its changes throughout the different kingdoms and influences/style of cuisine)
7) German Volume Training/Overtraining (benefits/costs/what the system does/how credible the work out is)

Yo people please vote for any of my topics as soon as the top 5 votes are registered --> he can begin researching and finding shit. PLEASE T_T vote any of mine.

Since I am itching to sort of get this going for my own benefit, I'm going to write a paper on alcohol and then hip hop. Expect the Alcoholic Drinks for the Virgin TLer paper to be due by the 25th (that's the deadline and usually I'm not too bad when it comes to this stuff). It will be a separate blog post.

im actually really curious how your college papers have shown wikipedia to be unreliable

did people cite fake sources or something
Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.
