Looking up sources for the research paper, I initially would check google and major search engines. However as it turns out, when it comes to research material for a paper, you have to use a scholarly journal database search engine. When I looked up the key words “gatekeepers of Wikipedia” in both types or search engines, than the results were very different. Google gave very broad results and maybe only one of them was of scholarly quality that I could utilize. Everything else was quite far from what I needed. With google I would get history of gatekeeping to the ask.com definition of gatekeeping. The scholarly journal search engine, ebsco, would also give broad results but offered may ways of narrowing and filtering the results. You were able to choose by subject, title, author, and several other options.
