Note that mentions of common mirror sites may not refer to actual mirrored Wikipedia articles.

[edit] Multiple Tags

The "This article has been cited as a source" tag should be adapted as shown here to fit multiple citations, instead of it being displayed multiple times.

[edit] Page guidelines

  • If the article is about Wikipedia itself, please add it to Wikipedia:Press coverage, rather than here.
  • If the citation is in a book, rather than a periodical, please add it to Wikipedia:Wikipedia as a book source.
  • If the citation is in an academic publication, such as a peer-reviewed journals, please add it to Wikipedia:Wikipedia in academic studies.
  • Also, please check to make sure this is the first publication of the article—newspapers often reprint things other papers published days and even weeks before.
  • Place a notice on the article's talk page about the press reference. See below for instructions.
  • To link to this page from the articles concerned, use Template:Onlinesource.

[edit] Formatting

If you add an article, please cite both the title and the source. Note that if you're listing an article from a traditional press wire service that ran in your local newspaper, it may not have the same title everywhere; be cautious about duplicates.

Please add your entry to the end of the page, using Template:Cite news. The template, with the most commonly used parameters, is:

  • {{cite news |first= |last= |authorlink= |coauthors= |title= |url= |work= |publisher= |date= |accessdate=2009-01-08 }}
    "Relevant/representative quote here."
