How do i write wikipedia into my bibliography?
-
i'm writing a report, and in my bibliography are references to books, but i have also used information from wikipedia, what would i write to refer to a wikipedia article?

Answer:
i wouldnt reference wikipedia itself, most colleges and universities frown on that since wikipedia isnt 100% accurate. you should find where the information shown in the wikipedia article was referenced from (probably theres a hyperlink in blue around the bit of information you used, or use the references at the bottom of the article) then reference that. you will get a better result if u do this. once youve found the reference you should set it out : Name,Article title, web address and the TIME you referenced it (very important incase the info you entered changes so noone can say what u said is incorrect)

Most people frown upon Wikipedia, so click on the little inline citation and then click the link. You can then cite that as the source

Listen to James. Do not use wikipedia for anything. There is so much misinformation there that most schools and colleges absolutely will not accept information cited from wikipedia.
