How about adding, If a source is written in a language that is not English, please include the language name in the citation.
Hello,
I'm worried that this rule does not mention one important problem with sources. Sometimes, other people (and books and websites) copy from wikipedia. This means that the source cannot be trusted. On en.wikipedia I have even seen cases where an editor simply made up stuff, then an external website copied it from en.wikipedia, so then there was a source which supported the made-up stuff! I think simple wikipedia should have a rule against using sources which have copied from a wiki. Does this seem reasonable? Bobrayner (talk) 12:01, 19 August 2012 (UTC)
In the complex English wikipedia, there's another menu when editing called Cite, which has templates that show the fields and you fill in what you have available. That's a pretty neat feature, any plans on bringing that to Simple English? Nerfer (talk) 20:59, 8 February 2013
