User:TDang/tips on citations

The minimum you should do

 * Plagiarism rules apply to the Wikibooks project just as in any other writing assignment, so you should quote from or paraphrase sources in limited ways, and reference them as you do.
 * Material from various sources should be referenced to those sources with "inline citations". That's even if it's not a quote or paraphrase, so that someone else can look up where you got the information. "Inline citations" are the ones that go in with, and will appear like footnotes. Eventually, it would be good if these footnotes are nicely formatted, but it's MUCH more important to have the footnotes in there, even if all you provide is a link to a web page or the book's title and author in an unformatted fashion. The format can be cleaned up later.
 * If there is source material (such as the book Information Rules) that you use in a significant way, but not for specific items that would get footnotes, still list that in the "References" section.
