=Regarding Referencing Style=
Our general practice is to provide references for information presented on this wiki. We will cite scientific publications or other reliable published sources when possible. However, due to the nature and current status of this craft, there are various potentially helpful sources of information that are not or cannot be peer reviewed or sometimes even published. Because of this we occasionally reference the personal experiences of our members, citing either blogs and other online articles, or posts to on the Milk The Funk Facebook page. We leave it to the reader to decide whether or not the information in from such references is valid. (Note that when a reference links to the MTF Facebook page, wiki readers will not be able to access the source it unless they are members of the group on Facebook.)
We generally use [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Inline_citation Wikipedia's inline citation method of referencing]. Specifically, we use the full numbered footnotes style, otherwise known as "Shortened notes". Hyperlinked numbers will appear inline as superscripts following a sentence or paragraph, and will link directly to footnotes at the bottom of the page which contain list the full citation. Due to the limited number of wiki editors and the limited time that they volunteer to write for this wiki, references may not be ideally formattedto a scholarly standard, but they should always give enough information so that the reader readers can easily track down the references themselfthemselves. If a particular sentence does not have an inline superscript number reference, look for it at the end of the paragraph or after successive sentences. Feel free to contact the [[Milk_the_Funk|wiki editors]] with any questions or concerns regarding any references.
