This template facilitates the citation of articles from editions of Encyclopedia Americana that are in the public domain. Links to Wikisource or external sources are provided for. {{cite wikisource}} is used for the implementation. If the url or title parameter are called, the {{cite encyclopedia}} is used for the implementation instead. The template can also be used to cite articles from editions that are not in the public domain. In these cases, the noicon parameter should be used to suppress the icon.

{{Cite Americana|put the name of the article here}}

or with a specification of additional options:[note 1]

These work as with other {{cite}} templates:

{{Cite Americana|title=Pulte, Joseph Hippolyt|volume=22|page=799|year=1920}}

displays as:

 "Pulte, Joseph Hippolyt". Encyclopedia Americana. 22. 1920. p. 799. 

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|Monroe (Louisiana)|year=1920|display=Monroe, La.}}

displays as:

Rines, George Edwin (1920). "Wikisource link to Monroe (Louisiana)". Encyclopedia Americana. প্ৰকাশক New York, Chicago: The Encyclopedia Americana Corporation. Wikisource 

{{Cite Americana|Cogniet, Leon|noicon=x}}

displays as:

Rines, George Edwin (1920). "Cogniet, Leon". Encyclopedia Americana. প্ৰকাশক New York, Chicago: The Encyclopedia Americana Corporation. Wikisource 

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|Schlatter, Michael|year=1920|vb=x}}

{{Cite Americana|title=Sterne, Simon|year=1920}}

displays as:

 "Sterne, Simon". Encyclopedia Americana. 1920. 

When title is being used, url can be used to specify an external link. For example:

{{Cite Americana
 |title=Sterne, Simon
 |year=1920
 |url=http://books.google.com/books?id=cr9PAAAAMAAJ&pg=PA632
}} At [[Google Books]].

displays as:

 "Sterne, Simon". Encyclopedia Americana. 1920. http://books.google.com/books?id=cr9PAAAAMAAJ&pg=PA632.  At Google Books.

If a longer citation is desired, containing the editor of the 1920 edition, the long option can be used. For example:

{{Cite Americana|Schlatter, Michael|year=1920|long=x}}

displays as:

Rines, George Edwin (1920). "Wikisource link to Schlatter, Michael". Encyclopedia Americana. প্ৰকাশক New York, Chicago: The Encyclopedia Americana Corporation. Wikisource 

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 long option is specified.

  1. For compatibility with similar templates, the name of the article can also be specified using the wstitle parameter instead of an unnamed argument.
