How do I cite text from a Wikipedia article?
DK asked:
I’m doing a history essay for school (grade 10) and I want to souce a paragraph from Wikipedia.
I’m using the MLA format, and for an online encylopedia I need to put the authors name and last name and the publisher. Its from Wikipedia so who would I put for the author and publisher? Do I just leave that blank? I’m not citing the whole article just a paragraph.
Also, what is the difference between sourcing and citing?
