ETHNOPOETICS.ORG : a collaboration to extend the valuing and study of global poetries

This page needs updating

  1. When beginning a new paragraph within the same entry, do not indent and instead, create a space between paragraphs.
  2. Standard MLA 9th edition format with bibliography/works cited at the end of each page.
  3. When there is no original author, but a translator is credited, replace author credit with “Translated by [name of translator].”
  4. Follow proper spelling formats for any websites (ex. MySpace versus Myspace)
  5. Follow Americanized spelling of words (ex. Color v. colour, theater v. theatre)
  6. For each entry, follow the order of headings: “Overview,” “Context,” “Commentary,“ and then “Bibliography.”
  7. Do not add any punctuation for the main headings (ex. “Overview:”)
  8. No images should be included in the bibliography. If one chooses to reference an image, it should be included underneath the heading in which it was first introduced.
  9. For images, place source in bibliography/work cited.
  10. When embedding an image, keep the picture right-justified and the text left-justified.
  11. For headings, the first letter is capitalized, and the entire word is in bold.
  12. For subheadings, the same rules apply as normal headings, but the font is 3 or 4 sizes smaller.
  13. When addressing a list or ranking, use numbers, as opposed to bullet points.
  14. All spaces within tags will be denoted by a hyphen ”-“.
  15. Page names should never include a colon ”:“ or slash ”/“.

(Work in progress. Ordering of rules will possibly be adjusted.)
