Citation style

stiil trying to get the book citation software to work. The video guide won't run n Safari, I may need to use firefox. I keep plugging in the same basic citation, thinking it will adjust to the position it is in, but it retains my "ibids" instead.

I think I have it or at least a part of it. I cut the ibids directly, kept my cursor there, then click on "Fowler AW" under named references. I as bothered at first that the footnote number would not change

, that the supra letters in front were signs of an error, but I guess all references to the same book are handled that way. But how do I show the different page numbers? KFFOWLER (talk) 16:43, 3 March 2012 (UTC)

For page numbers, you can have the book cited in full in the first instance it appears, then in subsequent appearances with different page numbers you can use a shortened version, as in following example:

• <ref>{{cite book |last=Brownlow |first=Kevin |authorlink=Kevin Brownlow |title=Napoleon: Abel Gance's classic film |edition=1 |location=New York |publisher=Knopf |year=1983 |isbn=0-394-533394-1 |page=214}}</ref>
• <ref>Brownlow 1983, p. 219</ref>
• <ref>Brownlow 1983, pp. 25–31</ref>
• <ref>Brownlow 1983, p. 108</ref>

I hope that helps. Binksternet (talk) 17:09, 3 March 2012 (UTC)
