    I’ll cite… The university of West Virginia for instance, because I don’t want to copy paste a new quote.

      Really respectfully, that’s not how citing works. You need to link to the publication/article/book/etc. that you’re actually getting your information from (or at least provide the author(s) and title).

        I understand that in an academic setting I would need to provide a proper Harvard formatted citation and my bibliography, but I don’t have my bibtex collection on my phone (or anywhere, for this topic). This is a social network mostly for shitposting so I don’t post with much rigor.

        In any case, here’s the source for the quote: http://wvutoday-archive.wvu.edu/n/2009/01/07/7391.html

          Fair enough but just sort of definitionally if you’re citing something there is a minimum bar in providing some manner for the person you’re providing the citation too to be able to view the content in question or it’s not really a citation.
