How do you cite Wikipedia?

Answer 1

To cite wikipedia there is a icon on the left side of the page that say "cite this page" click on it then it would take you to a page that gives you the citation according to the type of citaion you want.

Answer 2

If you are referring to including a bibliography for those who helped make your answer, then, you can include a reference in the discussion page, users will be able to see that there is a message on it, and will likely look at it. You could also put it at the bottom of your answer, but I do not recommend this.

Answer 3

For academic writing, you reference the website in text the same way you would a book, for example:

Tinie Tempah was said to have had 'an astonishing successful run tonight' (Topping, 2001) at The Brit Awards held 13th January 2011.

And then you cite it in your bibliography as so:

Topping, A. (2011). Brit awards: Tinie Tempah shines with four nominations. Available: http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2011/jan/13/brit-awards-tinie-tempah-nominations. Last accessed 15th Jan 2011.

N.B. I am using the Harvard referencing style.

Answer 4

If it is an Entire internet site:

Title of the Site (underlined). Editor. Date and/ or version number. Name of Sponsoring Institution. Date of Access <URL>.

example:

Encyclopedia Mythica (underlined). 2004. 13 May 2004 <http://www.pantheon.org>

If it is a document from a web site:

Author (last name, first name). "Title of Web Page." Title of Site (underlined). Editor. Date and/or Version Number. Name of Sponsoring Institution. Date of Access <URL>.

example:

Sherman, Chris. "Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About URL." SearchEngineWatch(underlined). Ed. Danny Sullivan. 24 Aug. 2004. 4 Sept. 2004 <http://searchenginewatch.com/searchday/article.php/3398511>.

These are the standards according to the MLA version. I found this on http://honolulu.Hawaii.edu/legacylib/mlahcc.html. You can find citing books and scholarly journals, and just about everything on this website. Its great. After every period, or semi colon, or any punctuation besides commas, you NEED to do 2 spaces. You need to double space your paper as well.

Answer 5

You cite the name of the article, then who wrote the article, then where you found the article(CBS.com and more), and lastly the date the article was written(:
