bundling citations shortcuts wp citebundle wp bundling main page help citation merging see also help shortened footnotes bundling citations and wikipedia citation overkill sometimes the article is more readable if multiple citations are bundled into a single footnote for example when there are multiple sources for a given sentence and each source applies to the entire sentence the sources can be placed at the end of the sentence like this 4 5 6 7 or they can be bundled into one footnote at the end of the sentence or paragraph like this 4 bundling is also useful if the sources each support a different portion of the preceding text or if the sources all support the same text bundling has several advantages it helps readers and other editors see at a glance which source supports which point maintaining text source integrity it avoids the visual clutter of multiple clickable footnotes inside a sentence or paragraph it avoids the confusion of having multiple sources listed separately after sentences with no indication of which source to check for each part of the text such as this 1 2 3 4 it makes it less likely that inline citations will be moved inadvertently when text is re arranged because the footnote states clearly which source supports which point to concatenate multiple citations for the same content semicolons or another character appropriate to the article s style can be used alternatively use one of the templates listed at the disambiguation page template multiple references the sun is pretty big bright and hot 1 notes semicolons miller edward the sun academic press 2005 p 1 brown rebecca the solar system scientific american 51 78 46 smith john the earth s star academic press 2005 p 2 for multiple citations in a single footnote each in reference to specific statements there are several layouts available as illustrated below within a given article only a single layout should be used the sun is pretty big but the moon is not so big the sun is also quite hot 1 notes bullets for the sun s size see miller edward the sun academic press 2005 p 1 for the moon s size see brown rebecca size of the moon scientific american 51 78 46 for the sun s heat see

wp intext further information wikipedia neutral point of view attributing and specifying biased statements and wikipedia manual of style point of view in text attribution is the attribution inside a sentence of material to its source in addition to an inline citation after the sentence in text attribution should be used with direct speech a source s words between quotation marks or as a block quotation indirect speech a source s words modified without quotation marks and close paraphrasing it can also be used when loosely summarizing a source s position in your own words and it should always be used for biased statements of opinion it avoids inadvertent plagiarism and helps the reader see where a position is coming from an inline citation should follow the attribution usually at the end of the sentence or paragraph in question for example n to reach fair decisions parties must consider matters as if behind a veil of ignorance 2 y john rawls argues that to reach fair decisions parties must consider matters as if behind a veil of ignorance 2 y john rawls argues that to reach fair decisions parties must consider matters as if situated behind a veil of ignorance 2 when using in text attribution make sure it doesn t lead to an inadvertent neutrality violation for example the following implies parity between the sources without making clear that the position of darwin is the majority view n charles darwin says that human beings evolved through natural selection but john smith writes that we arrived here in pods from mars y humans evolved through natural selection as first explained in charles darwin s the descent of man and selection in relation to sex neutrality issues apart there are other ways in text attribution can mislead the sentence below suggests the new york times has alone made this important discovery n according to the new york times the sun will set in the west this evening y the sun sets in the west each evening it is preferable not to clutter articles with information best left to the references interested readers can click on the ref to find out the publishing journal n in an article published in the lancet in 2012 researchers announced the discovery of the new tissue type 3 y the discovery of the new tissue type was first published by researchers in 2012 3 simple facts such as this can have inline citations to reliable sources as an aid to the reader but normally the text itself is best left as a plain statement without in text attribution y by mass oxygen is the third most abundant element in the universe after hydrogen and helium 4 general references shortcut wp genref a general reference is a citation to a reliable source that supports content but is not linked to any particular text in the article through an inline citation general references are usually listed at the end of the article in a references section and are usually sorted by the last name of the author or the editor general reference sections are most likely to be found in underdeveloped articles especially when all article content is supported by a single source the disadvantage of general references is that text source integrity is lost unless the article is very short they are frequently reworked by later editors into inline citations the appearance of a general references section is the same as those given above in the sections on short citations and parenthetical references if both cited and uncited references exist their distinction can be highlighted with separate section names e g references and general references dealing with unsourced material shortcuts wp nocite wp blpcite if an article has no references at all then if the entire article is patent nonsense tag it for speedy deletion using criterion g1 if the article is a biography of a living person it can be tagged with subst prod blp to propose deletion if it s a biography of a living person and is an attack page then it should be tagged for speedy deletion using criterion g10 which will blank the page if the article doesn t fit into the above two categories then consider finding references yourself or commenting on the article talk page or the talk page of the article creator you may also tag the article with the unreferenced template and consider nominating it for deletion for individual claims in an article not supported by a reference if the article is a biography of a living person then any contentious material must be removed immediately see biographies of living persons if the material lacking reference is seriously inappropriate it may need to be hidden from general view in which case request admin assistance if the material added appears to be false or an expression of opinion remove it and inform the editor who added the unsourced material the uw unsourced1 template may be placed on their talk page in any other case consider finding references yourself or commenting on the article talk page or the talk page of the editor who
