Nine times out of ten, you'll have to do it yourself. And that involves learning how to use the Internet for more than superficial research.

Sometimes, a key source simply isn't available. An old magazine isn't online and isn't up for purchase. An important webpage hasn't been archived in the
Wayback Machine and isn't accessible via mirror. What do you do? Use the other sources you've found to write the best article you can, and hope that

Everyone knows IGN. The site's been covering games since the late '90s, and, unlike most other sites of its kind, it rarely loses content. In recent years, though, its redesigns have made older articles cumbersome to access and harder to cite reliably. While IGN still has a huge number of
