Purdue OWL: APA Formatting and Style Guide - 2 views

Joanne Kaattari on 25 Feb 12As I slog through APA formatting, I found their guidance on how to source wkis very interesting: "Please note that the APA Style Guide to Electronic References warns writers that wikis (like Wikipedia, for example) are collaborative projects that cannot guarantee the verifiability or expertise of their entries." - It sounds like Purdue doesn't overly value connected knowledge!

amecarey on 26 Feb 12Thanks for sharing Joanne - I have used the purdue owl quite a few times over the years but have never had to reference a wiki. Our of interest I think I'll take a look at the APA style guide tomorrow and see if they are similarly sceptical...
