[personal profile] thefourthvine: ...So what's the proper reference citation for This Guy I Knew Who Said That Thing That Time?

[personal profile] ellen_fremedon: Guy I Knew, T., like last year or something. "That Thing That Time." Journal of I Read It Somewhere Common:Knowledge, it was like right on the front cover - or maybe it was on the internet or some shit.

(Context is locked, sorry. QWP.)

Wouldn't it be "Guy, I. Knew. Personal interview. Undated." ? At least in MLA style.

(...may or may not have actually gotten away with this several times in college.)

If you want to be picky, I suppose...

(I don't actually remember offhand the MLA rules for people with long, non-Western-style names like This Guy I Knew Who Said That Thing That Time.)

You alphabetize by first name when surname is not available. Geoffrey of Monmouth, not Monmouth, Geoffrey of. So, unless "Who Said That Thing" is a surname, start with "Guy I Knew."

One of my IRC rants on Hamlet ... wait, no, I think it was R&J -- it was *one* of the tragedies, at any rate! -- made it into someone's college paper.

Heeeeeeee, this is great. :D Four years of obsessive citation (forget your MLA - Chicago style forever!) has left me with a compulsive need to cite sources.
