I used a quote in my essay for school. I have to do a work cited page. What information do I need to cite it properly. I did a bunch of google searches put they really didn't help.

Answer 1

You need to have each source of information cited in TWO places:

1. the Works Cited page that is placed after the last page of your paper, and
2. in parentheses in the text of your paper, immediately after the quotation or paraphrase.

For example, this would go on the Works Cited page (with proper indentation for the second and following lines):

Du Bois, W.E.B. The Souls of Black Folk. Chicago, 1903. Project Bartleby. Ed. Steven van Leeuwen. Dec. 1995. Columbia U. 2 Dec. 2003
<www.cc.columbia.edu/acis/bartleby/dubois/>.

... and this would go immediately after the quotation or whatever:
(Du Bois)

The information in parentheses in the text needs to be as brief as possible. That's why there's a Works Cited page – for all the details of the listing.

This example is for citing a website. If you need help deciding what to do with a book or other print source, please re-post.

Here's a good place for information on citing in MLA format:
(Broken Link Removed)

Hold your cursor over the words CITING SOURCES in the left column and then click on whatever type of source you need help with. Many examples will show up. You will get two examples for each type of reference – one for the Works Cited page and one for the parenthetical (in-text) citation.

You can also see what a Works Cited page looks like – click on Sample Works Cited in the left column.

If you need to cite in APA or another format, go here:

In the column at the left, scroll down until you see the different topics on evidence and the different styles (MLA, APA, Chicago, etc.).

Answer 2

Hello,

I’ve been an reader of your blog for some time now, and I enjoy reading your blog on a regular basis.

Recently I’ve been researching an idea for a blog post about human hair wigs – and then I thought that this could be a great contribution for your audience.
I’ll make sure the piece overflows with information that can’t be found anywhere else.

What do you think? Should I write it up and send you a draft?
Here are some topics you maybe interested:
[What are the different types of human hair wigs?]
[What do I need to know about human hair wigs?]
[What is the best human hair wig?]

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Best,
