===Re: Where to attach citations? -- [[User:JaimeS|JaimeS]] ([[User talk:JaimeS|talk]]) 14:21, June 26, 2019 (EDT)=== : Generally speaking, you don't cite after every sentence, but after a block of facts that are from the same source. A rule of thumb I learned is to make sure that all the facts from that citation are in the same paragraph -- and that *no other references are used in that paragraph*. Then, cite at the end of the paragraph. : Referencing the source by name early on is also a good tactic, as [[Notjusttired]] mentions. :: If a sentence or paragraph contains multiple items of information and a source only supports the first, place that reference right after the first piece of info (after the comma, not before). Try to avoid sentences where it is unclear if a source supports the whole sentence or only the last part of it.
