Reference vs. Bibliography

This is an example of 20th Century reference works (hardback encyclopedia) depicting man's quest of the final frontier.

“The Voyager probe is now moving out of the Solar System toward the stars. It has a very long journey ahead. It is expected to reach the edge of the Solar System early in the 21st century, but it will not get close to another star for at least 40,000 years. This star is one of the nearest to the Solar System.”*(see: Cite Reference)

Categories Allegories

The first level of Category Training, . To go directly to the top of the category structure, see Portal:Contents/Categorical index. To browse all categories alphabetically, go to Special:Categories. Different parts of Wikipedia use different schemes for organizing articles into categories.

The main types of categories used are:

• Administration categories or project categories – categories used mainly by Wikipedia's editors for project management purposes, rather than for browsing. Category:Wikipedia backlog links to many categories with articles that need to be worked on, sorted by reasons. Another common category is the stub category, which contains very short ("stub") articles that need expansion. Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Stub types contains a giant list of stubs, sorted by topic.
• Container categories – categories which only contain other categories.
  • Intermediate categories – categories used to organize large classes of subcategories, such as Category:Albums by artist.
• Set categories – categories of articles on subjects in a particular class, such as Category:Villages in Poland.
• Topic categories – categories of articles relating to a particular topic, such as Category:Geography or Category:Paris.
• Set-and-topic categories – categories which are combinations of the two above types.
• Universal categories – categories used to provide a complete list of articles which are otherwise normally divided into subcategories.

Categories are not the only Wikipedia feature for browsing articles on particular topics. Readers most often find related articles simply by clicking the links that appear in the article they are reading. To find which articles contain links to the article you are reading, click What links here at the left-hand side of the page. For a general starting point to browsing the encyclopedia, go to Portal:Contents. Wikipedia also has many pages containing lists, which serve a similar function to categories.

Citation

Citation,

This page is about the research concept acknowledging the use of another's ideas. For other uses, see Orschstaffer/sandbox (disambiguation).

Broadly, a citation is a reference to a published or unpublished source (not always the original source). More precisely, a citation is an abbreviated alphanumeric expression (e.g. [Newell84]) embedded in the body of an intellectual work that denotes an entry in the bibliographic references section of the work for the purpose of acknowledging the relevance of the works of others to the topic of discussion at the spot where the citation appears. Generally the combination of both the in-body citation and the bibliographic entry constitutes what is commonly thought of as a citation (whereas bibliographic entries by themselves are not).

Citation has several important purposes: to uphold intellectual honesty, to attribute prior or unoriginal work and ideas to the correct sources, to allow the reader to determine independently whether the referenced material supports the author's argument in the claimed way, and to help the reader gauge the strength and validity of the material the author has used.

The forms of citations generally subscribe to one of the generally accepted citations systems, such as the Oxford, Harvard, MLA, American Sociological Association (ASA), American Psychological Association (APA), and other citations systems, as their syntactic conventions are widely known and easily interpreted by readers. Each of these citation systems has its respective advantages and disadvantages relative to the trade-offs of being informative (but not too disruptive) and thus are chosen relative to the needs of the type of publication being crafted. Editors will often specify the citation system to use.

Bibliographies, and other list-like compilations of references, are generally not considered citations because they do not fulfil the true spirit of the term: deliberate acknowledgement by other authors of the priority of one's ideas.

This page deals with how to cite sources; for information on what is or isn't a reliable source, see Wikipedia:Verifiability and source criticism.

Creating a footnote marker

At the point in the page text where the footnote marker is to appear, enter the text of the footnote and put the two pieces of coding before and after the footnote-text, like this: <ref><MarkThis†</ref>

This will create a footnote marker (automatically numbered). The footnote text itself will appear in the footnote list, generated as described below. If there is no footnote list markup, a red warning message will appear, reminding you to write the markup that generates the list. :{{tag|ref|content=†MarkThis, First Draft, Nevermind, This is only a sample.}}

You can include formatting and links in a footnote in the usual way, although certain features, such as the pipe trick and template substitution, will not work in footnotes. For the formatting of references, citation templates, such as a generic {{citation}}, or more specific {{cite book}}, {{cite web}}, etc., are available, although many editors prefer not to use them. See Citing sources for details on how references can be structured.

To aid readability in the edit window, a single newline can be added after the closing </ref> tag before continuing with the text of the paragraph. This has the same effect as putting a space after the closing tag.

Multiple references to the same footnote

It is possible to refer to the same footnote more than once, in other words to generate several footnote markers, all with the same number, which link to the same footnote. To achieve this, named footnotes (named references) are used.

A footnote is named using the name attribute of the <ref> tag. Choose a name (such as "Explanation"), and then at one of the footnote marker points (it makes sense to choose the first), enter the footnote like this:

:{{tag|ref|params=name=Explanation|content=Explanation Handbook, Sixth Edition¹², The Archived Drafts., 1998}}

Then you can create another identical marker linking to the same footnote from any other point in the text, by entering the following (note the final slash):

:{{tag|ref|s|params=name=Explanation}}

<!-- Refname Rules -->

Names for footnotes and groups must follow these rules:

• Names are case-sensitive. Please do not use raNdOM capitalization.
• Names must not be purely numeric; the software will accept something like ":31337" (which is punctuation plus a number), but it will ignore "31337" (purely numeric).
• Names should have semantic value, so that they can be more easily distinguished from each other by human editors who are looking at the wikitext. This means that ref names like "Nguyen 2010" are preferred to names like ":31337".
• Names must be unique. You may not use the same name to define different groups or footnotes. Try to avoid picking a name that someone else is likely to choose for a new citation, such as ":0" or "NYT".
• Please consider keeping reference names short, simple, and restricted to the standard English alphabet and numerals. If spaces are used, the following technical restrictions become relevant:
  • Quotation marks are preferred but optional if the only characters used are letters A–Z, a–z, digits 0–9, and the symbols !$%&()*,-.:;<@[]^_`{|}~. That is, all printable ASCII characters except #"'/=<>?\ and space.
  • Inclusion of any other characters, including spaces, requires that the reference name be enclosed in quotes; for example, name="John Smith". But quote-enclosed reference names may not include a less-than sign (<) or a double straight quote symbol ("), which may however be included by escaping as < and " respectively.
  • The quote marks must be the standard, straight, double quotation marks ("); curly or other quotes will be parsed as part of the reference name.
• You may optionally provide reference names even when the reference name is not required. This makes later re-use of the sourced reference easier.
