{{Cite Americana |title=Pulte, Joseph Hippolyt |volume=22 |page=799 }}
displays as:

Using display
edit
The mechanics of Wikisource will sometimes require that a link have disambiguation information which is not part of the original title. The display
parameter allows this information to be hidden for the purpose of the citation. For example:
{{Cite Americana|wstitle=Monroe (Louisiana) |display=Monroe, La.}}
displays as:
Rines, George Edwin, ed. (1920). Encyclopedia Americana.
.Using noicon
edit
{{Cite Americana|wstitle=Cogniet, Leon|noicon=x}}
displays as:
Rines, George Edwin, ed. (1920). "Cogniet, Leon". Encyclopedia Americana.
Using vb
edit
If text is incorporated verbatim into an article, the vb
parameter can be used to tack on a notice appropriate to the policy in Wikipedia:Plagiarism.
{{Cite Americana|wstitle=Schlatter, Michael |vb=x}}
displays as:
This article incorporates text from a publication now in the public domain: Rines, George Edwin, ed. (1920). . Encyclopedia Americana.
This option is depreciated. Instead use {{Americana}} which does the same thing without the need for a vb=x parameter.
Using title
(no Wikisource link)
edit
{{Cite Americana |title=Sterne, Simon}}
displays as:
Rines, George Edwin, ed. (1920). "Sterne, Simon". Encyclopedia Americana.
When title
is being used, url
can be used to specify an external link. For example:
{{Cite Americana |title=Sterne, Simon |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=cr9PAAAAMAAJ&pg=PA632 }} At [[Google Books]].
displays as:
Rines, George Edwin, ed. (1920). "Sterne, Simon". Encyclopedia Americana. At Google Books.
Using short
edit
If a shorter citation is desired, excluding the editor of the 1920 edition, the short
option can be used. For example:
{{Cite Americana|wstitle=Schlatter, Michael|short=x}}
displays as:
Encyclopedia Americana. 1920.
.If another edition besides 1920 is being used, the editor name can be customized using editor-first
and editor-last
. If used, these two items will be displayed whether or not the short
option is specified.
