[edit] Citations Templates

[edit] Standard templates

Delete fields you don't want, to save edit clutter. Fields must be lower case, bars must be between each bit.

Doesn't matter what order you put them in they come out right

Wikilinks

Most fields can be wikilinked (ie. title = book title), but should generally only be linked to an existing Wikipedia article. Any wikilinked field must not contain any brackets apart from normal round brackets () — don't use <>[]{}.

Don't wikilink first and last but authorlink, with no brackets. You can deprecate first two fields by doing surname comma first name in one yourself.


.

Here's a basic one.

.

A basic one with url. Note, an example of bulleting. You must put accessdate: Full date when item was accessed, in ISO 8601 YYYY-MM-DD format, eg. 2006-02-17. Required when url field is used. Must not be wikilinked.

Roberts, C.B. (1950). Cornwall. Dent. IBSN 6543678-98.

Jones, Alistair (1905). Poetry of France. Longman. ISBN 36475-343-33.

In the case below, the author name comes out wikilinked, whatever I've put in the authorlink box.

Chandler, Raymond (1956). Selected Letters. Scribner. ISBN 236474-47456-3443.

This one next shows you can just put author= and then do the names backwards yourself, with a comma

Jones, Jenny (1999). Television Shows. Bigfoot. ISBN 35364-3455-5567.

Field url= URL of an online book. Cannot be used if you wikilinked title.

Field pages= pages: 5–7: first page and optional last page. This is for listing the pages relevant to the citation, not the total number of pages in the book.

Example:three authors, title with a piped wikilink, edition

[edit] Harvard

Many times authors use an edition of a book that was published after the original publication. In such cases, many people put the original date of publication in square brackets followed by the date of publication of the edition used by the author who is making the citation. For example, a citation might be

(Marx [1867] 1967)

Note: Harvard referencing is not complete without the full citation at the end of the page (article) in the References section, as described next.

[edit] Complete citations in a "References" section

Complete citations, also called "references", are collected at the end of the article under a ==References== heading. Under this heading, list the comprehensive reference information as a bulleted (*) list, one bullet per reference work. Try to make sure that whichever citation system you choose is used consistently throughout the article.

Typical references would be:

or using a template:

* {{cite journal | author=L. Hussein ''et al.'' | title=Nutritional quality and the presence of anti-nutritional factors in leaf protein concentrates (LPC) | journal=International Journal of Food Sciences and Nutrition | year=1999 | volume=50 | issue=5 | pages= 333–343}}

which results in:

  • L. Hussein et al. (1999). "Nutritional quality and the presence of anti-nutritional factors in leaf protein concentrates (LPC)". International Journal of Food Sciences and Nutrition 50 (5): 333–343.

Citations for newspaper articles typically include the title of the article in quotes, the byline (author's name), the name of the newspaper in italics, date of publication, and the date you retrieved it if it's online.

[edit] Embedded citations

Embedded citations can be placed in an article by enclosing a URL with single square brackets — [http://www.google.com] — which appears like this: [1] A full citation ought then be given in the References section like this:

*[http://google.com Google's website], which appears as:

A newspaper article referenced in an article by using an embedded link might be — [http://media.guardian.co.uk/site/story/0,14173,1601858,00.html] — which looks like this.[2] The embedded link is placed after the period, or when placed within a sentence after a clause, then after the comma.

Then in the References section, a full citation is provided:

*[http://media.guardian.co.uk/site/story/0,14173,1601858,00.html "Sorrell accuses Murdoch of panic buying"] by John Plunkett, ''The Guardian'', [[October 27]], [[2005]], retrieved [[October 27]], [[2005]]

which appears as:

It is particularly important in the case of online newspaper articles to include byline, headline, newspaper, and date of publication, because many newspapers keep stories online only for a certain period before transferring them to the archives. With a full citation, readers will be able to find the article easily even if the link doesn't work.

Here's an example of a reference with external link, used in Martin Luther:

[1]

The author comes out unlinked, and the title comes out linked. I did it the opposite way round with:

[2]

The authors needed to come after the title this time.

  1. ^ Schaff-Herzog, "Luther, Martin," 72.
  2. ^ Edict of Worms, translated by De Lamar Jensen and Jacquelin Delbrouwire.


[edit] Maintaining a separate "References" section in addition to "Notes"

It is helpful when footnotes are used that a References section also be maintained, in which the sources that were used are listed in alphabetical order. With articles that have lots of footnotes, it can become hard to see after a while exactly which sources have been used, particularly when the footnotes also contain explanatory text. A References section, which contains only citations, helps readers to see at a glance the quality of the references used.

[edit] Citing a news article

{{cite news}}

{{cite news
  | first=
  | last=
  | author=
  | url=
  | title=
  | work=
  | publisher=
  | pages=
  | page=
  | date=
  | accessdate=
}}
  • title is required, rest is optional.
  • author: Author
    • last works with first to produce last, first
  • publisher: Publisher, if any.
  • accessdate: Date when item was accessed. Use ISO 8601 YYYY-MM-DD format.
  • work: If this item is part of a larger work, name of that work.
  • pages overrides page
  • See Template talk:Cite news for more help on using this template.

Note: {{news reference}} is now deprecated; please use {{cite news}} instead for new references, and gradually migrate existing references.

[edit] Citing the web

{{cite web}}

{{cite web
 | last = 
 | first = 
 | authorlink = 
 | coauthors = 
 | year = 
 | url = 
 | title = 
 | format = 
 | work = 
 | publisher = 
 | accessdate = 
 | accessyear = 
}}

[edit] References

Type the text of the note between the ref tags.

  1. Place the
    1. ^ Schaff-Herzog, "Luther, Martin," 72.
  • ^ Edict of Worms, translated by De Lamar Jensen and Jacquelin Delbrouwire.
  • tag in a "Notes" or "References" section near the end of the article—the list of notes will be generated here.

Heres' my effort on that:

[3]

[edit] Notes and references

  1. ^ Schaff-Herzog, "Luther, Martin," 72.
  2. ^ Edict of Worms, translated by De Lamar Jensen and Jacquelin Delbrouwire.
  3. ^ sausages are nice

[4]

{The only trouble is that the 2 reference is marked below it.}

You may also use a smaller format if desired, like this:

[edit] Notes and references

[edit] Citing a footnote more than once

To give a footnote a unique identifier, use <ref name="name"> ... </ref>. You can then refer to the same footnote again by using a ref tag with the same name. The name cannot be a number, or the extension will return an error.

The text in the first occurrence of a named ref is used, so text in the second and following occurrence will be ignored.. You can either copy the whole footnote, or you can use a terminated empty ref tag that looks like this: <ref name="name"/>.

In the following example, the same source is cited three times.

This is an example of multiple references to the same footnote.<ref name="multiple">Remember that when you refer to the same footnote multiple times, the text from the first reference is used.</ref>

Such references are particularly useful when citing sources, if different statements come from the same source.<ref name="multiple">This text is superfluous, and won't show up anywhere. We may as well just use an empty tag.</ref>

A concise way to make multiple references is to use empty ref tags, which have a slash at the end.<ref name="multiple"/>

== Notes ==
<references/>

The text above gives the following result in the article (see also Notes section below):

This is an example of multiple references to the same footnote.[6]

Such references are particularly useful when citing sources, when different statements come from the same source.[6]

A concise way to make multiple references is to use empty ref tags, which have a slash at the end.[6]

One should be particularly careful when deleting the first of multiple named references, because the footnote text will be deleted unless it is copied to the second (now first) ref tag.

[edit] Cite:php style: Multiple insertion of the same reference

On the Edit page, this is placed at the first insertion point of citation:

<ref name=Perry>Perry's Handbook, Sixth Edition, McGraw-Hill Co., 1984.</ref>

This is placed at the second insertion point of citation:

<ref name=Perry/>

This is placed at the third insertion point of citation:

<ref name=Perry/> ..... and so forth for further insertion points

[edit] Single insertion of a reference

For the single insertion of a reference, the "name" parameter is not needed. On the Edit page, this is placed at the insertion point of citation:

<ref>Excel For Dummies, First Edition, Hungry Minds, Inc., 3.</ref>

[edit] What is produced at the points of insertion

These are what is produced and note that the reference numbers in blue are automatically generated. Clicking on any one of the reference numbers causes the screen display to scroll down to that reference number in the Reference List section:

First[7] text word referenced to Perry's Handbook
Second[7] text word referenced to Perry's Handbook
Third[7] text word referenced to Perry's Handbook
The only[8] text word referenced to the Excel book.

[edit] Producing the reference or footnote list

On the Edit page, this is placed in the References or the Footnotes section:

<references/>

This is what it produces and note that the list numbers are automatically generated:

  1. ^ Schaff-Herzog, "Luther, Martin," 72.
  2. ^ Edict of Worms, translated by De Lamar Jensen and Jacquelin Delbrouwire.
  3. ^ sausages are nice
  4. ^ sausages are nice
  5. ^ sausages are nice
  6. ^ a b c Remember that when you refer to the same footnote multiple times, the text from the first reference is used.
  7. ^ a b c Perry's Handbook, Sixth Edition, McGraw-Hill Co., 1984.
  8. ^ Excel For Dummies, First Edition, Hungry Minds, Inc., 1980.

[edit] Notes on the Cite.php method

  • Clicking on the blue superscript a causes the screen display to scroll back up to the point where the first reference to Perry's Handbook was inserted. Clicking on the blue superscript b causes the screen display to scroll back up to the point where the second reference to Perry's Handbook was inserted. Clicking on the blue superscript c causes the screen display to scroll back up to the point where the third reference to Perry's Handbook was inserted ... and so forth.
  • Clicking on any caret (^) that has no associated superscripts cause the screen display to scroll back up to the point where that single-use references was inserted.

[edit] Manually coded footnotes

An excellent example of how an article can have fact information. The ability to hide footnotes, for those that complain about the flow of reading etc., should be coded in so all parties are happy.

[edit] Manually coded footnotes (2)

[edit] References combined with numbered footnotes

See for example Gymnopédie, an article using numbered footnotes (using the wikipedia:footnote3 system) combined with book and journal references, as mentioned higher on this page. Other source citation techniques used on that same page: in-line external links, and, of course, wiki-links. Examples can be found at {{Ref/examples}}.


[edit] Kate's Tool

Kate's tool is a way of hiding the number on references.

[edit] Quoting Wikipedia edit pages in Talk

The one below does that without generating a number for the little book icon. It also shows how to make a text flow along smoothly while using such a link.

From the above work, I learn that . . .

Let me try one myself:

I have just looked at these edits to find out the truth.

How pleasing!

[edit] Disadvantages and future improvements

  • In the old Footnote3 system, links and auto-numbered footnotes pulled from the same counter, which made it difficult to keep the endnotes consistent. With the new Cite.php module, a different issue presents itself: a casual reader might not notice or understand the difference between an external link and an auto-numbered footnote and may be confused, thinking that the numbers are not in order. For this reason, some editors argue that auto-numbered external links are better not used on the same page with auto-numbered footnotes, which can be avoided, e.g., by making text links for the external references, like this: Kate's Tool, instead of: Kate's Tool[3]. Other editors argue that both citation styles can be used in the same article, and that the disadvantage of using text links like Kate's Tool is that it does not clearly signal to the reader that they are being directed off Wikipedia.

[edit] Strike-through

Looks like this and ends up like this.

[edit] Links

Hiding what's in parenthesis:

Automatically hide stuff in parentheses: kingdom.

Automatically hide namespace: Village Pump.

[edit] Pipe trick

Mary Queen of Scots

You type brackets then Mary I of Scotland:Mary Queen of Scots| then brackets. So the pipe is at the end and the colon divides the two forms.

[edit] Blending/deblending links

microsecond

To suppress blending, use nowicki tag in between:

microsecond

[edit] Links to parts of page

is a link to a section within another page.

Wikipedia talk:Citing sources#How does the reader KNOW which facts have been verified to be "common knowledge?"

to another section on the current page.

#Citing a news article
  • The part after the number sign (#) must match a section heading on the page. Matches must be exact in terms of spelling, case, and punctuation. Links to non-existent sections are not broken; they are treated as links to the top of the page.
  • Include "| Link title" to create a stylish link-title.

[edit] Pictures

(For "Wikipedesketch1.png", insert file title from Commons.)

When the picture is among the text, it's called "floating".

Plain
[[Image:Wikipedesketch1.png]]
With placement (left or right)
[[Image:Wikipedesketch1.png|right]]
With caption (all captions have frames)
[[Image:Wikipedesketch1.png|frame|right|Here is a really cool caption]]
Combining different options
[[Image:Wikipedesketch1.png|thumb|100px|right|The Wikipede]]
Linking to pictures without displaying them
[[:Image:Wikipedesketch1.png|This is the wikipede]]

(Note colon at start; this method takes you to the image page rather than the image, which is smaller and more manageable.)

With caption
[[:Image:Wikipedesketch1.png|This links directly to the Wikipede's image page]]

The following stops pictures overlapping text or gallery below:

[edit] Measurements

There should be a non-breaking space - between a number and the unit of measurement. For example, instead of 18mm, use 18 mm, which when you are editing the page, should look like: 18 mm.

[edit] Notes combined with refs

Kirill: I see nothing wrong with having notes that combine citations and discursive material; it's a style that's fully endorsed by at least the Chicago Manual of Style (and, indeed, pretty much the only style that makes sense if what's being annotated are the citatins themselves), and it helps avoid what would otherwise be an unreadable forest of little numbers in an article that's both heavily cited and heavily annotated
