:::Wow - thanks - but that's a little overwhelming, details-wise. I'm not sure at this stage of the game Conservapedia can reach that high. I guess my main concern is that there ''are'' references given (because more often than not there are none at all, even when the author seems to have used a reference (or even copied word-for-word from one)), and ideally that there is more than just the URL included in them (which is not usually the case at this point). I'm not that fussy about format at this point - if the obvious information gets in there, I'll be happy.--[[User:Hsmom|Hsmom]] 00:11, 17 October 2008 (EDT)

::::It doesn't seem that difficult or overwhelming. There are plenty of standardized citation methods out there. Forcing a specific model of citation ensures that people include all relevant information in the citation as well as think critically about the source they are citing from. Often on the internet people simply put a url with no other information as a source. Forcing them to fully cite will help them to analyze whether this is a good source. ----[[User:ToJones|ToJones]] 20:58, 27 October 2008 (EDT)
