To simplify the in-text citation, place the last name of the author in the text to introduce the quote and then the publication date for the text in parentheses. You can then leave the author's name and the publication date out of the quote itself. For example, you may write, "Gardener (2008) notes, 'There are several factors to consider about lobsters' (p. 199)." If you do not want to name the author in the text, start the citation with their last name in parentheses at the end of the quote or the information you wish to cite. If there is more than one author, list their last names, separated by commas. For example, you may write, "'There are several factors to consider about lobsters' (Gardner, 2008, p. 199)." Or, "The paper claims, 'The fallen angel trope is common in religious and non-religious texts' (Meek & Hill, 2015, p.13-14)." For articles with 3-5 authors, write out the names of all the authors the first time you cite the source. For example: (Hammett, Wooster, Smith, & Charles, 1928). In subsequent citations, write only the first author's name, followed by et al.: (Hammett et al., 1928). If there are 6 or more authors for the paper, include the last name of the first author listed and then write "et al." to indicate that there are more than 5 authors. For example, you may write, "'This is a quote' (Minaj et al., 1997, p. 45)." If you are quoting from a research paper or article with no author, look for the name of the organization that published the paper. For example, you may write, "'The risk of cervical cancer in women is rising' (American Cancer Society, 2012, p. 2)." If you cannot find an author or an organization that published the paper, you can use the first 1-4 words of the title of the paper instead. For example, you may write, "'Shakespeare may have been a woman' ("Radical English Literature," 2004, p. 45)." Or, "The paper notes, 'There is a boom in Virgin Mary imagery' ("Art History in Italy," 2011, p. 32)." Place a comma between the author or title of the paper and the publication date. For example, you may write, "'There are several factors to consider about lobsters' (Gardner, 2008, p. 199)." Or, "The paper claims, 'The fallen angel trope is common in religious and non-religious texts' ("Iconography in Italian Frescos," 2015, p.13-14)." " if you cannot find the date. For example, you may write, "'Shakespeare may have been a woman' ("Radical English Literature," n.d., p. 12)."." Or, "Minaj (n.d., p. 45) notes, 'The study of psychology has been underfunded.'" Write "p." for page number and place a dash between the numbers if the quote or information you are citing spans more than 1 page. For example, you may write, "'There are several factors to consider about lobsters' (Gardner, 2008, p. 199)." Or, "The paper claims, 'The fallen angel trope is common in religious and non-religious texts' ("Iconography in Italian Frescos," 2015, p.145-146)."

Summary: Name the author and the publication date in-text before a quote. Include the author's last name in the citation if you don't list it in-text. Write the name of the organization if there is no author. Use 1-4 words from the title in quotation marks if there is no author or organization. Include the year of publication for the paper. Use "n.d. Note the page number where the quote or information appears in the paper.

Choosing the right tip can be as important as having the right pressure gauged on your sprayer. Larger tips generally require more pressure, but can cover more ground effectively. Narrower tips, on the other hand, are best for precision work. If you're unsure about the sort of tip you should be using, contact a hardware professional and give her the details of your project. Latex paint works for airless sprayers, but it must first be thinned out in order to flow easily through the nozzle. Add 1/4 cup of water or chemical thinner for every gallon of paint you're using, then mix the two together thoroughly. You may have to experiment with different thicknesses of paint. Load some into your paint sprayer and check the coverage. If it's not spraying evenly, you may need to add more thinner. Latex paint is the default paint for airless sprayers. Chemical thinners are available from paint and hardware stores as well. These work more effectively than water and don't work against the paint's default properties. The type of paint you use for your project will depend on the surface. No matter how well you mix the paint, there may still be little clumps of solid paint. It doesn't take much to clog an airless sprayer nozzle. Take a strainer and strain your paint into another bucket, catching the solid bits and discarding them. An airless sprayer draws paint from a hose. Attach your siphon hose to the back and place it gently in your paint bucket. It's a good idea to do this prior to priming. That way, you'll be able to tell priming is done because paint will start coming through the nozzle. All airless sprayers require priming before they're ready for use. Luckily, this is a fairly straightforward operation, as many airless sprayers will have a "Prime" setting. If your airless sprayer isn't priming successfully, it may help to give the device a slight tap with a hammer. This can loosen any clogged paint inside the sprayer. Keep the nozzle face downward in a bucket to account for paint drips while you're getting the sprayer ready. Making sure your sprayer's in working order before you use it can help prevent big messes. Check the hose for microfractures. Check the nozzle and make sure the filter is clear. Give the paint a quick test run on a surface to make sure the paint's being distributed evenly.
Summary: Pick the right tip. Thin the paint. Strain your paint. Set up the siphon hose. Prime the pump. Give your sprayer a quick check before each use.
