[edit] From Akamad

There are many ways to cite sources. This url provides all the information you will need on how to do it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Cite_sources

In general, if you are referencing a website, it's easiest to simply put the url of the source in brackets: eg: Bob Dylan was born on the 24th of May, 1941. [http://www.who2.com/bobdylan.html] Which produces text that looks like this:

Bob Dylan was born on the 24th of May, 1941. [1]

I think one of the best uses of references that I have seen on Wikipedia is the Columbine massacre article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Columbine_High_School_massacre Throughout the text, they provide footnote references (see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Footnote).

In general, people aren't too picky about the style of referencing, so long as the source is given.

Hope this helps, once again, please feel free to ask any questions you may have (you know where to find me).

And by the way, I am of Sri Lankan origin (Buddhist), but currently reside in Australia.
