===Identifying parts of a source===
{{shortcut|WP:PAGENUM}}
{{see|Help:References and page numbers}}
When citing lengthy sources, you should identify which part of a source is being cited.

====Books and print articles====
Specify the page number or range of page numbers. Page numbers are not required for a reference to the book or article as a whole. When you specify a page number, it is helpful to specify the version (date and edition for books) of the source because the layout, pagination, length, etc. can change between editions.

If there are no page numbers, whether in [[ebook]]s or print materials, then you can use other means of identifying the relevant section of a lengthy work, such as the chapter number or the section title.

In some works, such as plays and ancient works, there are standard methods of referring to sections, such as "Act 1, scene 2" for plays and [[Bekker numbering|Bekker numbers]] for Aristotle's works. Use these methods whenever appropriate.

====Audio and video sources====
Specify the time at which the event or other point of interest occurs. Be as precise as possible about the version of the source that you are citing; for example, movies are often released in different editions or "cuts". Due to variations between formats and playback equipment, precision may not be accurate in some cases. However, many government agencies do not publish minutes and transcripts but do post video of official meetings online; generally the subcontractors who handle audio-visual are quite precise.
