Helpful Tips
- Cite Wikipedia articles as entries in an online reference work
- When citing sources that you find on the Internet you only need to include a retrieval date if the information you viewed is likely to change over time (p. 192). If you cite an article from a wiki, for example, you would want to include a retrieval date because information in a wiki can be subject to a lot of change.
- If you're not sure about whether or not to include a retrieval date, go ahead and include it.
