Adding double brackets to the string authoronlinesource2006|author=Joe Blow|date=16 November 2006|url=http://google.com|title=Something Nifty This Way Comes|org=Slashdot|section=November produces:

[edit] What is a press source

[edit] Cited by academic publication?

An article published in a peer-reviewed journal was comparing different claims made on the internet about the numbers of speakers of various languages. A wikipedia page was cited (and it's estimates weren't too bad!). It's not exactly a "press" source. Is there another template for adacemic citations of wikipedia pages? ntennis 03:46, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

As I see it, scholarly journals form the academic press. Even Oxford University Press is a "press". --Damian Yerrick (☎) 16:48, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
