Hi, I'm doing a paper for my math class strangely enough and I was
wondering how you cite in a paper for the Wikipedia Encyclopedia. I don't want to plagiarize and I didn't know how to cite online encyclopedias. If you could contact me back ASAP that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Quote from it only as much as you would from any encyclopedia, and cite it as you would any web page. If you want to cite the particular version you are referring to, click on the link to "Page history" and that will give you a pile of links to each version by date and time.
