[Forum] RE: Citing song lyrics

Since you're only citing lyrics (not music), perhaps go with the CMOS standards for citing poetry? ~Valerie

[Forum] Citing page numbers in footnotes

When citing pages for a book reference, say, 104 to 107, do you put 104–07 (like you would, say, 124–27) or do you drop the zero and make it 104–7 (or do you even put 104–107)? Thank you.

[Forum] RE: Documentation

Welcome to the forum. Answering you late. It is not clear from your question what you mean. Citing in the text? Citing in an endnote? Citing in a reference list? Also, I don't know what EC means. And what sort of document are you editing or writing? But for starters, here is the CMOS section on tr

[Forum] RE: Citing specific URLS

If they're doing this out of laziness, there's probably not much you can do other than make them do the work every time, in the hopes that eventually they'll realize it's less work to include the specific URL in the first place. If they're legitimately not seeing the difference, try analogies. Ci

[Forum] Re 'secondary citation'

[font=Trebuchet MS][size=medium] I agree. If one cannot obtain access to the original source, it seems proper for the reader to know the source citing that original source. Caveat: the citing source might have erred in the citing, giving an incorrect year, say, or giving an inappropriate citation.

[Forum] RE: citing GIS data

I don't have a specific guideline for you but I'd follow the guidelines for citing figures and I would lean toward including a source note rather than excluding it. I'd feel better knowing that I had included the info rather than omitting it. Worst case someone just tells you to remove it during

[Forum] Citation of Video games

I've been going through chapter fourteen and I can't seem to find anything directly related to citing video games in the bibliography. Does Chicago have a style for this? Right now my instincts are to approach it as citing a film, but should the company be a part of the citation?

[Forum] RE: Citing journal content with no author or editor name

Citing an editor would make sense for a book, but for a journal article I would follow [url=http://www.chicagomanualofstyle.org/16/ch14/ch14_sec079.html]14.79[/url] and just begin the citation with the article title. Just my take...

[Forum] Citation layers

I was wondering how you'd go about citing the photograph of a piece of art (a oil painting portrait in this case) that is used in a history textbook. The picture is credited to a photographer and to the artist of the portrait. The chapter has two authors and the textbook has several editors. Do you
