A source with two authors can be cited like this:

Other things you might wish to keep in mind are:
* There should be no whitespace between the preceding word and the &lt;ref ...&gt;
* The citation ends with a '.'
* The ''name='' attribute in the &lt;ref ...&gt; tag denotes the name of the reference; it does not summarize the context in which the reference appears. All &lt;ref&gt;s that refer to the same citation must have the same ''name='' otherwise the article will end up with duplicate or triplicate references to the same work.
* Not a policy on WP, but something you might wish to follow anyway (because it is standard academic practice), for electronic sources that have no page/para numbers, count and then cite the number of the paragraph in which the passage/statement being referred to appears.
I hope that helps. -- 09:59, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Misplaced Pages arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Stop iconThis is your last warning. The next time you vandalize Misplaced Pages, as you have done by continuing to add unreliable information to Snopes.com, you may be blocked from editing without further notice.--Jim in Georgia Contribs Talk 02:17, 12 November 2016 (UTC)

Funny to watch Jim in Georgia accuse me of "vandalizing" Misplaced Pages. In what way? What exactly did I do? Because I added a sentence along with seven (non-blog) references? Do you also want to send me to Siberia, Jim in Georgia?Boab (talk) 23:49, 17 December 2016 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Snopes.com. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Please be particularly aware that Misplaced Pages's policy on edit warring states:

  1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
  2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. McGeddon (talk) 18:44, 16 November 2016 (UTC)
