How to cite Pleiades

We've added a "suggested citation" to every place resource page in Pleiades.

A key goal for Pleiades is to provide a stable reference for ancient places. That means cool URIs that don't change. It also now means guidance for users on how to construct a more-or-less traditional bibliographic citation for a Pleiades place resource. From now on, you'll find a "suggested citation" near the bottom of each place page.

For example, on the newly updated place resource page for Noiodounon Diablintum (modern Jublains in France), you'll find the following suggested citation:

Galliou, P., R. Talbert, T. Elliott, S. Gillies, J. Åhlfeldt. "Places: 69539 (Noiodounon Diablintum)". Pleiades. <http://pleiades.stoa.org/places/69539> [Accessed: December 7, 2011 3:03 pm]

Following a suggestion from Daniel Pett (British Museum and Portable Antiquities), we've also added Wikipedia citation codes:

{{cite web |url=http://pleiades.stoa.org/places/69539 |title=Places: 69539 (Noiodounon Diablintum) |author=Galliou, P., R. Talbert, T. Elliott, S. Gillies, J. Åhlfeldt |accessdate=December 7, 2011 3:03 pm |publisher=Pleiades}}
