The press release that I have referenced does not have a title but a contact. Should I leave the reference as is? Also I'm unable to find a template or any format to follow for citing a newsletter (which is the second citation). Any suggestions?
I have been unable to find any manufacturer information on this piece. These were the places I searched:
first started with a simple google search
NOAA website and U.S. National Geodetic Survey
searched IUPUI's website and found history information
researched in IUPUI archives located on campus and found information on the installment
searched Indy Cultural Trail
no information available on IndyArts
Lexis Nexis
Stout Reference Library
IU Cat
There is an absence of manufacturer markings on the monument and the plaque did not specify anyone. Any suggestions? —Preceding unsigned comment added by KrystleB (talk • contribs) 03:45, 30 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
There is a tool located within the editing window that will allow you to pull up a template set up for web, newspaper, book, etc. inline cites. Are you versed in using it, if not I can explain in detail. Also, what is the newsletter from. Does it fall under a reliable sources given within the wikilink provided hereCalmerWaters 03:53, 30 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
