What does this actually do? ~ 14:16, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
- It creates bibliographic citations in several standard styles. Users who are preparing research papers can copy and paste the citations. Seahen 18:36, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Copy to other wikis?
I think this page should be on Wiktionary, Wikibooks, Wikisource, Wikiquote and adapted for Commons. The material there is every bit as citeable as those on Wikipedia. Seahen 18:36, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] User preferences
The Special:Cite tool doesn't seem to respect the user's time zone preferences. I have an offset of -4:00 set in my user preferences. It's currently May 14 for me, but May 15 for GMT. The Special:Cite tool gives me a date of May 15. -- – Zawersh 00:43, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
