I like this format since it includes the ISBN by default which can help generate revenue for NR through our amazon affiliate account. --[[User:Tiberius Octavius Avitus|Tiberius Octavius Avitus]] 00:11, 7 February 2007 (CET) | I like this format since it includes the ISBN by default which can help generate revenue for NR through our amazon affiliate account. --[[User:Tiberius Octavius Avitus|Tiberius Octavius Avitus]] 00:11, 7 February 2007 (CET) | ||

| + | :Right, the ISBN is important not only because of the revenue via Amazon but also because Booksources links to so many libraries. In-text is both MLA and APA, actually. In-text plus references list versus numbered footnotes all depends on what Mediawiki makes easy. I agree that it seems Mediawiki makes numbered footnotes easy, I just have not had time to take a careful look. [[User:M. Lucretius Agricola|Agricola]] 00:56, 7 February 2007 (CET) | ||

Citations
What about citations and references? I have not yet looked carefully at the latest from Mediawiki on this. What is possible (intext citations especially)? Agricola 14:33, 30 January 2007 (CET)
I'll make a citation section my next project -- Media wiki uses footnotes in almost every article, but for our academic purposes (and with our academia user base) there may be better options for us. In text citations are generally an MLA thing, the Guide for the Writers of Research Papers and Dissertations uses footnotes and end notes.--Tiberius Octavius Avitus 18:24, 6 February 2007 (CET)
Here is the basic citation courtesy of wikipedia:
