From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
IMPORTANT NOTE: Most educators and professionals do not consider it appropriate to use tertiary sources such as encyclopedias as a sole source for any information — citing an encyclopedia as an important reference in footnotes or bibliographies may result in censure or a failing grade. Wikipedia articles should be used for background information, as a reference for correct terminology and search terms, and as a starting point for further research.
As with any community-built reference, there is a possibility for error in Wikipedia's content — please check your facts against multiple sources and read our disclaimers for more information.

When using the LaTeX package url (\usepackage{url} somewhere in the preamble), which tends to give much more nicely formatted web addresses, the following may be preferred:
@misc{ wiki:xxx,
author = "Wikipedia",
title = "Web standards --- Wikipedia{,} The Free Encyclopedia",
year = "2008",
url = "\url{http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Web_standards&oldid=221159546}",
note = "[Online; accessed 7-January-2009]"
}
