You know that if you use people's answers in your report, you really do have to cite them as a source. I don't know that a proper format has been worked out for that, but probably including the url to the question would work. I'll bet a lot more people would help if we knew we could be famous in your bibliography ;) Good luck.

It depends on what your project is. If it's a formal paper, then you create a bibliography page for the source's full citation--no matter how few or how many you have.\n\nIf you're not writing a formal paper, you may be able to get away with an in-text citation. For example: "John Doe states in his book, THE HISTORY OF DEER, that deer are 'blah blah blah yadda yadda yadda' (115). He also says that road-killed deer add a nice touch to homemade stew (123)." \n\nIf you're not sure which one to do, I'd advise you to go with doing a bibliography page (or Works Cited page, or References page, or whatever your citation style calls it). It's better to go overboard in citing your quotes than to be accused of plagiarism.

If you're paraphrasing you put it in your own words (therefore quotation marks are not required).  You then must make a parenthetical reference (last name of author, followed by a comma, followed by a page number or date).  You must then also include a reference on a Bibliography, Reference or Works Cited page.  Make sure you use the correct formatting (this will depend on what referencing style you use--personally I prefer that my students use MLA).

The sources that are being cited as where the author got his information from.  By following the references, you get the additional information from his source.

The following is how the APA publication manual states an \ninternet website should be referenced: \n\n  Author, I. (date). Title of website article. Name of \nwebsite you obtained the information from [on-line]. \nAvailable: specify URL path \n\n========================================================= \nExpanation of terms: \n\n1. Author, I. = In most cases there won't be a discernible \n  author, use the name of the enitity that is providing \n the website. \nFor example info from this website: \nhttp://site.health-center.com/brain/, the author would \nbe Health-center \n\n2. (date) = right click on the webpage.  If your using \n  Netscape Navigator choose "view info" if you have \n Microsoft Explorer choose "properites".  Either way you \nwill find a "date created" listing, include the month \nand year in your reference. \n\n3. Title of website article = Look at the top of the \n  webpage and find the title. \n\n4. Name of the website = for APA.org, APA is name of the \n  website, for the example above, Health-center is the \n name of the website. \n\n5. Available: specify URL path = type the word "available", \n   then go back to the web page.  Look up at the address \n  bar at the top of the webpage.  Highlight it, right \n click your mouse, choose "copy".  Go back to your post, \nclick "paste" \n\nRemember to put quotation marks around any and all \ninformation you obtain from a website.

I usually have a list...at the top it says my name, address, etc. in the resume format (top center of the page, same as resume page) then list the references and my affiliation (if it is personal or professional).\n\nGood luck!

IN TEXT - I would say "according to wikipedia's article about _______".  \n\nThere is a way to cite down at the bottom of every page on wikipedia for your bibliography. \n\nI hope I answered your question, but I was a bit unclear. \nGood luck!\n\nYou might check out the MLA handbook for references to citing as well.

If you're in college, it would depend on your field...but here are some basic guidelines:\n\nFor the first time you reference an article in a magazine in a footnote, list all the information (author, article title, magazine title, publication date, and pages) as follows:\n\n                1Andrew Jackson, “My Side of the Story,” U.S. News & World Report, 5 March 1837, 45-61.\n\nFor the second and subsequent times you reference an article in a scholarly journal:  List only the last name of the author, the tile of the work and the pages.  The other publication information does not have to be listed again.\n\n2Jackson, “My Side of the Story,” 67.\n\nIf the footnote refers to the same work you have used in the footnote immediately preceding the current one, type the word Ibid. and the page number.\n\n3Jackson, “My Side of the Story,” 74.\n4Ibid., 83-85.\n\nIf you have several paragraphs where you have used the same article but in many different pages, place the footnote at the end of the last paragraph and list all the page numbers in the endnote.\n                5Andrew Jackson, “My Side of the Story,” U.S. News & World Report, 5 March 1837, 45-61, 76-82.

You just need to cite the source of your quotes. There's a book called "Elements of Style" by E.B. White that is considered a standard of written English. You might want to consult that when citing your footnotes.

Its much simpler than other formats. For instance when siting work you only need to put the last name of the author and page number in parenthesis after the sentence or paragraph, which can then be looked up in your bibliography or works cited page at the end of your paper. Other formats require more information be entered within the paper itself besides the work cited page. I use APA whenever possible, it seems complicated at first but once you write a paper or two using it you discover that once you get the hang of it, it's much easier to use..

The Harvard Referencing System is the best and generally most widely accepted format.  The link below should really help

Better not to.  Only use Id. when it's very clear what the prior cite is.  Use the short cite.
