Hi! Thank you for the comments ^_^

Cite with footnotes and references instead of "works cited"[change source]

@16chseld 601: You'll need to cite your sources in a different way than Works Cited. Here's what you do:

  1. edit in "change this page" mode so you can see what it will look like right away
  2. put the cursor at the end of a paragraph that you paraphrased or used a fact from another source
  3. click "cite" in the editing menu
  4. choose the kind of source you used
  5. enter in the information about the source. You can use the works cited part from your report to find the necessary information.
  6. click "insert" once you have entered in all the necessary info
  7. there is already a "references" heading at the bottom of the article. You should see the reference information you just entered to appear here.
  8. if you ever need to cite the same source again, do steps 2 and 3, but then choose "re-use" to use a source you've already entered
  9. as always, describe your change summary and "save changes"
