Citing sources/Example style


This essay misleads readers into thinking there is some sort of 'Wikipedia mashup citation style' (for lack of a better term), described in the essay, which editors should use instead of standard citations styles if they "cannot decide on which style to use", or if they "do not know what information to include." I propose deleting this misleading essay and encouraging editors to learn an established citation style instead.  Mark D Worthen PsyD  06:22, 22 September 2015 (UTC)
