: thanks for the intro. I came across a page that I think needs work and I wanted to make an addition. I use wikiwand; the page is http://www.wikiwand.com/en/Akaike_information_criterion Has a mixture of ref styles, both numbered superscript and Author, Year in text. I wanted to add, probably in the history section, that the original Akaike paper (1974) is the 73rd most cited paper of all time (Nature 2014 - http://www.nature.com/news/the-top-100-papers-1.16224?WT.mc_id=FBK_NatureNews). I saw a template for citations I think. Not good as I understand it, to use a "naked" reference (only the URL).
