I am a public school English teacher in the US State of Nevada and I am very passionate about the free, open, and accurate source of information that Wikipedia provides to the world. I am a very boring person and am greatly obsessed with source citation styles and the methodology of reference material categorization and authority control. I also love photography (picture of mine below).
^There's nothing wrong with this style of citation. Obviously, sites like Wikipedia benefit from the note-bibliography style, but I see value in this style for journal articles, essays, and other works which rely heavily on dates. Shame on the MLA for not getting the memo. There's no reason to have page numbers cited parenthetically. If they had any sense, they would switch to note-bib and encourage annotated footnotes.
^I think it's better than APA because it spells things out more, which leads to more clarity and less confusion. #changemymind
^Sad that an literature teacher is putting this so low. Shame! Shame! Shame!
