In general, **do not invisibilize people from which you took inspiration and/or learned something from**. Take the opportunity of contributing to this wiki to also point to their work and research. You must properly attribute your source. You have 4 options: -* **Hyperlinks:** Sometimes it's enough to point to external reference as an hyperlink if there is not much to discuss. For instance [Ursula Leguin has an interesting take on technology](http://www.ursulakleguinarchive.com/Note-Technology.html). -* **Footnotes:** Can be handy to drift a bit[^drift] but also to give a proper footnote reference when paraphrasing and referencing the thoughts of someone else. For instance Ursula Leguin has been critical of a specific usage of the work *technology* when misused to only refer to the most recent developments, which also happen to be the most problematic[^leguinref]. -* **Inline quotes:** Use this with footnotes when you want to quote something short inline. For instance Ursula Leguin offers to understand technology more broadly as "the active human interface with the material world"[^leguinrefquote]. -* **Block quotes:** Finally, you may want to quote entirely a part of someone else's writing, in which case, use the block quote formatting, with a footnote for the reference.

For instance here is how Ursula K.

[^leguinrefquote2] [^drift]: parenthesis could be used as well, sure, or long — em dashes, but if you're going to fork the discussion to something that's too long to fit in the flow of the main text, and that does not need its own page, then a footnote can be quite handy. -[^leguinref]: See Ursula Leguin, "A Rant About 'Technology'," 2004, [http://www.ursulakleguinarchive.com/Note-Technology.html](http://www.ursulakleguinarchive.com/Note-Technology.html). -[^leguinrefquote]: Ursula Leguin, "A Rant About 'Technology'," 2004, [http://www.ursulakleguinarchive.com/Note-Technology.html](http://www.ursulakleguinarchive.com/Note-Technology.html). -[^leguinrefquote2]: Ursula Leguin, "A Rant About 'Technology'," 2004, [http://www.ursulakleguinarchive.com/Note-Technology.html](http://www.ursulakleguinarchive.com/Note-Technology.html). +[^leguinref]: See Ursula K.
