80/80
In a research paper? Lets say I'm writing about a subject, and I put my own knowledge of the subject on the paper without using any sources, because I already know things about the subject that I'm writing upon? I'm asking based on y'alls personal experiences, because I have extensive knowledge about the subject I'm writing about. Is it necessary for me to find a random source and to cite it? --- Proof that Republicans hate the environment: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vb3zipb9Bu0 ... Copied to Clipboard!

it'd be much easier to pretend it came from the source
but all they have to do is google it to tell where it came from they also run them against other peoples papers so you can't copy each other --- Bloodborne's Themes Explored https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tv2-IxQ8VTQ ... Copied to Clipboard!

I think it depends on what exactly you're explaining and how you're phrasing it within the context of the research. How in-depth are you going, for instance?
When in doubt, it wouldn't hurt if you can cite supporting research to whatever knowledge you're putting forth. --- http://i.imgur.com/1yl1fH0.jpg the White-Sounding Black Chick ... Copied to Clipboard!

Youre missing the point of a research paper if you do that. How would you feel if you read an article that made a claim about something you were unfamiliar with and they stated that it was accurate because they knew it was?

Because I would assume that it is common knowledge, because my professor said not to cite things that are common knowledge, like the signing of the declaration of Independence, and that George Washington is the first president. --- Proof that Republicans hate the environment: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vb3zipb9Bu0 ...

You know what common knowledge is, right? According to google, its something that is known by most people, and I would assume that everyone knows what a Caliphate is because it has been widely discussed on the internet and has been was on the news with ISIS made headlines on the news media. --- Proof that Republicans hate the environment: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vb3zipb9Bu0 ...

honestly that sounds pretty racist
had the caliphate been around and the ottman empire not dissolved we wouldn't be having these wars in the middle east because all of the muslims would be in the same empire I don't even like muslim invders in 1200 a.d. but ww1 definitely messed the world up in more ways than one --- Bloodborne's Themes Explored https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tv2-IxQ8VTQ ...

If it's common knowledge, it's fine. If it's not, you need a source.

Yeah I don't know what a caliphate actually is outside of context. So I'm going to say it's better to err on the side of sourcing.

Ask your prof about the specific passages you're wondering about. Their opinion is the only one that really matters here.
thedeerzord posted... I'm just explaining how Muslims radical interpretation of Islam has led to caliphates being created by terror groups. You can absolutely find sources to back that up, and probably should because you didn't come up with that knowledge all on your own (and if you did, you should go find sources to flesh out what I imagine would be a very flimsy, poorly-substantiated claim). --- This is my signature.

Are you asking if you can just use the word "caliphate" without sourcing something? Or is it more than that.

Depends on the professor. I had one that was completely cool with it and another that told me to just make some sources up, or cite books that I remember reading over the years.
