why do I need to cite sources. do you not believe me? sounds to me like you're projecting and YOUVE GOT SOMETHING TO HIDE.

Talking in the tags is just like turban (Chicago) for Tumblr

[clubpenguine]

Ok got one for you all: should you add spaces in between your footnotes in turabian i.e. press enter in between each new citation? Cause I am a FIRM believer that that shit should be touchin, caressing each other intimately.

i let him hit because he told me i have daddy issues, a death complex, and “an inconsistent citation style”???

If you want an answer: Turabian is pretty much just CMS but simplified for use by your typical high school or college student rather than ‘proper’ academics. It has less rules to wrap your head around, but because of this it sometimes lacks answers or instructions for situations that the more detailed CMS can handle just fine. ‘Baby’s First CMS’, pretty much.

Of course, just because it’s intended for students doesn’t mean you’ll actually end up using Turabian all that much—I’ve only ever had to use Turabian for a couple of classes, whereas my personal copy of the 17th Edition of the Chicago Manual of Style sees far more regular use.

Bitches will be like, “I study history.” and not know the difference between the Turabian style and Chicago style of citation

It's me, hi. I'm the problem it’s me.

Given Mumbo's poll about weirdness in Hermit Minecraft control choices, I am immensely curious if in fact a lot of people have "weird" personal changes to the standard control schemes/ keybinds of Minecraft, and we just don't talk about them much in normal conversation

For instance, I play with the Attack/Destroy and Place Block buttons reversed. Place is left click, destroy is right click. (This seemed self-evidently more logical to me than the default keys when I started playing age 13 or so.)

I would be very interested to hear about people's personal MC keybinds and irl interactions w/ MC¹ controls in replies, tags, or reblogs!

¹Irl interactions w MC controls Example: Pressing Shift with your thumb isn't a weird keybind, Shift to crouch is the default! However, pressing with a thumb is a weird way to interact with that keybind.

gamers my professor assigned us this semester long thing where for every reading we have to do in this class we have to write a 600 word long summary and analysis and its killing me so fucking bad. not because its like the worst shit ever (it is a little) but like why is she assigning this because theres no way shes reading them... we had to turn in the first 9 at midterms and the printout i turned in was literally 20 pages long. theres no fucking shot she actually read that for every student and now i gotta have 7 more done by thursday and she never even handed back the old ones (further cementing my theory she has not fucking read them) like..... why would you do that to us and yourself and not make these 300 words each max....

Chicago author-date anon here: I'm pretty sure that prof was retaliating against the change in the system. We used to use MLA (so in-text referencing and we were not allowed to use ANY footnotes) and then a different prof launched a multi year campaign to change it to Chicago for students because that's what pretty much every journal uses anyway. The moment the change came through, the other professor was like "Chicago? FINE but they have to use author-date" without adjusting the word counts for the essays (which in undergrad were 1k to teach us how to write concise so like...). FYI this is in the English department, the history department uses Turabian in undergrad and Chicago in grad school (also very odd).

What??? Lmao. Tbh, I have never heard of MLA in-text, only MLA footnote. Then again, clearly your university also has Very Strong Opinions about obscure reference systems, since this is definitely something for academics to complain about. Ahem.

In honor of hbomberguy's video...

I've found a youtube response to the hbomberguy video that isn't just content hunting/recuts! And doesn't seem to be a planned thing like Todd!

Mostly because this is an academic using the hbomberguy video as a jumping off point to talk to the camera, with few edits, about how to cite your sources.

Don't Be Like James Somerton: Advice on Citations and Plagiarism by Archaeology Tube

This is a very reasonable kind of thing to see a day or two after a big story hits. Not edited in a way that's super intensive, and clearly a lecture--too happy to be a rant, honestly--that the person has locked and loaded and has obviously thought about a lot... presumably because, as an academic, it's kind of super necessary.

Signal Boost Please! Call for Submissions

Hello everyone! My name is Cassandra Jules Corrigan and I'm an author of queer-friendly kids books. You can check my creds here.

My editor Alex and I have pitched a kids' anthology of queer folklore and mythology where we're hoping to gather submissions from 10-15 different contributors of different cultural backgrounds telling a queer story from their culture's folklore or mythology. Talks have been going well, but the publisher, Jessica Kingsley Publishers (an imprint of Hachette), would like to see more submissions to get a better feel for what the final product would look like before green-lighting.

Submissions should be around 100-200 words, focused on one story, and be written in a style appropriate for late elementary/early middle school. If you would like to include sources for the story, you can put them at the end in a bibliography, Chicago/Turabian style is preferred.

We especially would like submissions from POC, but white authors are also welcome to submit.

If you would like to write something for us, you can use this form to submit. Please keep in mind that submitting does not guarantee that you will be included in the final anthology, but we will reach out to you via e-mail if we want to use your writing.

If you aren't a writer or this isn't your thing, I would still really appreciate a reblog to spread the word!

Thank you all so much!

Okay, the real question.

If the peaks write reports regularly, especially Qing Jing, An Ding, Qian Cao etc. What citation style do they use, is there a standard citation style sect wide, peak wide, or based on preference of hall masters or authors of the reports. Navigating sect wide documents would have to be nearly impossible without a citation system in place. Would An Ding use a style similar to bluebook (legal documents) where they cite the title of the document referenced, relevant sections, date. Is Shang Qinghua an MLA, APA, Chicago, Turabian style kinda guy. Did he have to teach citations to the peaks or were they already filled in through the systems gap filler protocols. Citations formats are usually separated by subject matter but even then it varies and the peaks often dabble in a wide number of subjects.. Not even mentioning possible plagiarism and copyright laws and how that would work applying to cultivation, would seals made by an individual fall under intellectual property or could the sect that person belonged to claim it as belonging to them, do sects even have any sort of I.P laws in place or contracts 😔

I have like close to zero citation knowledge so I have no idea what system he would use but there was a fic that he used the system as a glorified Excel sheet and that's all I've ever gotten to how he categorizes things

If anyone else has theories about what citation he uses, do tell I would love to hear!
