Sources to Avoid
These are sources you shouldn't use, and why. If you add something to this list, do it in alphabetical order and be sure to source your claims.
Astraea's Web
Do not cite Astraea's Web except as a last resort. Astraea's Web tends to plagiarize and misattribute from other sources, making them an unreliable secondary source at best. Examples: copying the "midcontinuum" definition from Dark Personalities and re-applying it to "median," (Dark Personalities, 2001 May 19; Astraea, 2003 January 11); falsely claiming Vickis' definition of "midcontinuum" was medicalizing when it was not (Vickis, 1998 January 15; Astraea, 2008 May 11). Also claiming they "edited and updated" the Consortium's Multiple Code in January 2004, when the sole change they made was adding a single modifier, "Vanilla Sex, no kinks" to the sexuality section (2004, April 27).
Sometimes citing Astraea's Web is unavoidable. But always take everything with a grain of salt and corroborate every statement elsewhere.
