1. It is appropriate to use Wikipedia if you want the basic information about something or if you want to find sources, but never for research.
2. A database is where you can find structured and reliable data, it is different from a search engine because in a search engine there can be unstructured text and anyone can add stuff to it
3. Three databases I might use:
- Britannica
- Newsbank
- CultureGrams
