Editing Incubator escapee wiki:Citing sources (section)

===Links to sources===
{{Shortcut|WP:SOURCELINKS}}
For a source available in [[hardcopy]], [[microform]], and/or [[Online and offline|online]], omit, in most cases, which one you read. While it is useful to cite author, title, edition (1st, 2nd, etc.), and similar information, it generally is not important to cite a database such as [[ProQuest]], [[EBSCOhost]], or [[JSTOR]] (see the [[list of academic databases and search engines]]) or to link to such a database requiring a subscription or a third party's login. The basic bibliographic information you provide should be enough to search for the source in any of these databases that have the source. Don't add a URL that has a part of a password embedded in the URL. However, you may provide the [[Wikipedia:Digital Object Identifier|DOI]], [[Wikipedia:ISBN|ISBN]], or another uniform identifier, if available. If the publisher offers a link to the source or its abstract that does not require a payment or a third party's login for access, you may provide the URL for that link. If the source only exists online, give the link even if access is restricted (see [[WP:PAYWALL]]).
