section headings

[edit]

that would be all fine and good if wp were based on the mla. in fact, wp conventions are more closely in line with the cms. further, wp:cite clearly outlines section headings and usage--which are compliant with neither style guide--and are in common use throughout the majority of wikipaedia articles. --emerson7 | Talk 00:58, 3 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • OK -- CMS. I may be misreading it, but it seems to me that, unless you're actually parenthetically citing the reference by author, publication date, and page number within the text, the footnotes/endnotes and list of references/bibliography are actually two separate things. Since Wikipedia uses a format that does not cite reference info within the text of the article itself, it's my understanding that there should be a separation between the two lists at the end of the article. CMS seemingly offers a number of alternatives, but given an admittedly cursory look through the appropriate section (16) I could find no example of a combined bibliography/endnote list that included traditional endnote/footnote info for specific quotes or pieces of information within the text without having source and page references included in the text itself.
  • I may be confused, but I also double checked the Wikipedia guidelines you mentioned in your message and found that they, too, suggested using a separate section for references when footnotes are used at the end of an article. Jancarhart 15:08, 6 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
