قالب:Cite Appletons'/doc

Purpose

This template enables the citation of articles from the Wikisource project Appletons' Cyclopædia of American Biography in the manner of {{cite encyclopaedia}}.

Usage

{{Cite Appletons'|put the name of the article here}}

or with a specification of the optional year, author, notaref, noicon or vb parameters:

{{Cite Appletons'|put the name of the article here|year=year of publication|author=author name|notaref=x|noicon=x|vb=x}}

Examples

Simple

{{Cite Appletons'|Clay, Henry}}

displays as:

قالب:Cite Appleton's

With comment

{{Cite Appletons'|Clay, Henry}} A popular politician in the formative years of the United States.

displays as:

قالب:Cite Appleton's A popular politician in the formative years of the United States.

Using author and year

{{Cite Appletons'|Clay, Henry|year=1900|author=[[Carl Schurz]]}}

displays as:

Wikisource-logo.svg Carl Schurz (1900). "Clay, Henry". Appletons' Cyclopædia of American Biography. 

Using noicon

{{Cite Appletons'|Kapp, Friedrich|year=1900|noicon=x}}

displays as:

"Kapp, Friedrich". Appletons' Cyclopædia of American Biography. 1900. 

Using vb

If text is incorporated verbatim into an article, the vb parameter can be used to tack on a notice appropriate to the policy in Wikipedia:Plagiarism.

{{Cite Appletons'|Pulaski, Kazimierz|vb=x}}

displays as:

Wikisource-logo.svg This article incorporates text from a publication now in the public domain"Pulaski, Kazimierz". Appletons' Cyclopædia of American Biography. 1891. 

Using notaref

In the examples above, this template automatically adds the hidden category "Wikipedia articles incorporating text from Appleton's Cyclopedia" to the articles it is used in. The addition of this category can be eliminated by setting the parameter notaref to some value. For example,

{{Cite Appletons'|Blenker, Louis|notaref=x}}

will not insert the category, though there will be no noticable difference in the page. Examples of situations where use of this parameter should be made:

  • the citation is made for further information only, and thus the information from the Appletons' entry has not been used in the article it is cited in
  • the editor is not copying text verbatim from Appletons' into a Wikipedia article
