Reply to your message about style issues and footnotesreferences   Hi Just so you know Templatecite news is the preferred way to cite news sources Using the template allows us to easily modify references and easily keep all references in the same format When editing a reference please do not remove Templatecite news as you did here Also theres no need to name references unless theyre used more than once Thank you  My way of including all references in an article is according to what Ive found here and here thats close to the APA style We are talking about footnotes that are referencescitations to sources right Was not aware that a specific way to cite only the news although its a reference like any other printed source   Also the reference was used twice with the long version added at the first footnote for example such as this reference and the shortened version used for subsequent mentions of the same citation for example such as in this case If it matters that much for the sake of style and consistency go ahead and change the format to one for news articles   Let me know if you have more questions
