  • Real names are not always available for certain sources, e.g., videos and images. If the user's real name is not available, use the screen name.
  • For works with two to seven named authors, use the same format as print books.
  • Use the year, month, and day format for images and cartoons.
  • Write out a work's title like you would write out a sentence: Capitalize the first word, any proper nouns, and the first word after a colon.
  • Italicize titles of all major works, e.g., titles of books, periodicals, movies, music albums, video games, and TV series.
