New References Section & Update to Format Guidelines
Hello Studio Writers!

We are happy to announce the addition of a new field in all article templates called References. As of Thursday, May 7, you will find a new section for references under the standard Resources box. We added this section to give you the opportunity to cite external sources and reference any material you used for your research. As we’ve said before, sources enhance an article, improve the quality and lend a tremendous amount of credibility to your work.

From now on, all articles must include at least one reference. This can be from any offline or online source.

Please note that this is different from the Resources section. In the past, we’ve urged writers to link to sources in the Resources field. However, with the launch of the new References field, this will no longer be necessary. As of now, the Resources section should be used to suggest further reading for the audience, while the References section should be used to cite sources you used for research.

We have updated all of the format guidelines to outline the style rules for the References section, so please be sure to check them out.

Thanks!

Jennifer

I keep hearing different things about the reference section. This blog post and the guidelines clearly say that a reference can be "from any offline or online source," but editors keep sending my articles back, claiming that I can't use references from wikis, competitors such as Howstuffworks and the like. I currently write mostly technical articles (pneumatic engines, circuits, electromagnetism, etc.) so if I can't use wikis and I can't use expert sites I'm pretty much out of luck for finding online references. Why do I keep hearing different info from different corners?
