Notes
- ↑ It would be helpful to begin with their respective Wikipedia entries that I linked above, but these should not be cited as sources.
- ↑ Obviously, the latter is better.
- ↑ External sources are always footnoted as references; Wikipedia entries are always just linked in the text. Never cite a Wikipedia article like you would an external source.
