>>2721all essays must be submitted using human fecal matter on toilet paper
and honestly I'd prefer wiki format, use hyperlinks for your sources directly embedded into the paper because let face it the old formats are designed for ink and paper.
truth be told there is no rule on formatting at long as it is cited, and it is readable
>>2722>wiki, the one place where citations lead to nowhere.Well as long as there is no rule then hell, I will use MLA. It is more standardized and refined. You can't put down the old for being old, there is a reason as to why it stuck around for so long, it works!
Besides I still have access to all my colleges libraries. I think this could be fun (given how most "studies" are strongly left biased) Now I have to narrow on a topic as I have two that come to my mind. Race or Gender.
>>2721All memes aside. You can use any normal format. MLA is recommended and preferred though.
Should we post submissions directly to thread?
>>2725The person organizing this wants submissions to be submitted to a special discord, a link to which will eventually be dropped in the thread
>>2671Let me guess! Using Wikipedia is strictly forbidden, right?
>>2727You should probably have a better citation than that..
>>2727Wikipedia has sources. Use those.
>>2727You realise the internet is the largest repository of human knowledge to ever exist and a large segment of it is indexed. It even has copies of primary sources such as science papers and archives like archive.org, issuu.com, etc. You can probably go a little beyond one website when seeking references. Also
>>2729 >>2671This looks fun. I was planning on getting a Renbow Desh T-shirt anyway. And it's got to be on my favorite Red Pill? Awesome. So I've got a week to sort through my red pill folder, find my favorite, and then another week to write the thing.
Awesome.
