 * IF YOU'D LIKE TO PRACTICE EDITING AN EXISTING WIKI:**

Harriet Tubman: http://tubmanplaylist.wikispaces.com/
 * Sample 3-track version of your project (needs some editing but a good project to experiment with):**


 * FORMATTING YOUR SOURCE CITATIONS WITHIN THE PROJECT AND IN THE WORKS CITED LISTING:**

Use your handbook. It will be more convenient and more reliable if you need to defend your formatting to a professor or editor. If you don't have it, an excellent alternative is the Purdue OWL. Links for that are given below.
 * My #1 Suggestion for Formatting Your Source Citations:**

Remember you may need t//o improvise.// If your source doesn't exactly match the formats available in your handbook, go to the most basic format and compose your citation in a way that comes closest to it.
 * My #2 Suggestion for Formatting Your Source Citations:**

 * Formatting for Common Sources (INCLUDING SOUND RECORDINGS; FOR PICTURES USE THE SAME FORMAT AS FOR PHOTOGRAPHS OR OTHER ARTWORKS):**

//(Note: If any of the above links break, simply Google "Purdue OWL" to locate the pages.)//


 * IF YOU WANT TO INCORPORATE MUSIC LINKS INTO YOUR WIKI (THIS IS OPTIONAL):**

After locating the code for your music online, click "Widget", "embed", "other html"
 * General tip:**

[] A source of contemporary, popular music with links that enable you to quickly embed a song into a web page:
 * MP3Skull.com**

[] This site has a mixture of old and new music and enables you to build an entire playlist then embed the whole thing onto a web page. Some people use this site to build a playlist and then embed the playlist on the first page of their wiki to give readers an overview of their project instead of linking individual songs throughout the project. (See, for example, the Ralph Ellison project.)
 * Playlist.com**
