Sources from Wikipedia and using Zotero

Hello how are you surviving this crazily busy time of the year handling with your mid-term exams/reports and preparation for ICU festival? I am managing things much better than a few weeks ago.

I was very surprised and glad to know that there is a rating system in Wekipedia. Last ARW teacher said we could not use sources from Wekipedia, so I was always struggling to not to get any information from it. I was only looking at the references part of wiki pages to see if there is any resource maybe I can use for my essay. Now that I know the information from Wikipedia can be reliable, I will restart using it! I tried to find a FA class page that is related to my essay topic but it was really hard. Most of the page did not even have any status. The only page I could find which somehow relate to my essay topic, which is about womenomics in Japan, was a page named "Japan". Therefore I imagine that there IS a possibility that we can use wekipedia sources for our essay but it is going to be really difficult to find a page that is high classed.

I also learned how to use Zotero again, including the way to cite a in text citation. Here is my work.

Zotero worked well for in text citation. However, for works cited part, Zotero did not do well with the book source. When I just copied and pasted the source, the works cited for the book included Japanese words. It said "3版" instead of "3rd ed.". It may be because it was an English book written by a Japanese author. So I had to change that part, but everything else smoothly worked out. How useful Zotero is for you after having today's lecture? For me, today's lecture made so much more sense than the last lecture and have a feeling that Zotero is going to help me from the next essay.
