Line 3: {{infopage\|WP:IC\|WP:ILC}} On Wikipedia, an '''inline citation''' ~~refers~~is togenerally a [[citation]] in a page's text placed by ''any'' method that allows the reader to associate a given bit of material with specific reliable source(s) that support it. The most common methods are numbered footnotes and parenthetical citations within the text, but other forms are also used on occasion. Inline citations are often placed at the end of a sentence or paragraph. Inline citations may refer to electronic and print references such as books, magazines, encyclopedias, dictionaries and Internet pages. Regardless of what types of sources are used, they should be ''[[Wikipedia:Reliable sources\|reliable]]''; that is, credible published materials with a reliable publication process whose authors are generally regarded as trustworthy or authoritative in relation to the subject at hand. Verifiable source citations render the information in an article credible to researchers.
