Hi Katie,

Yes, if you cite a web page with multiple authors, you should follow the same guidelines as for any other sources with multiple authors. You can find an explanation of those guidelines here.

Hi Manon,

In this situation, it’s best to still include the URL if you know what it was; otherwise, include the URL of the overall website instead. You should also include an access date to show when you retrieved the information, and state that the page no longer exists in parentheses after the URL. For example:

Hi,
How can I reference a government webpage that has expired? I downloaded its content and quote it several time in my thesis. Now I have to add my bibliography, but I can’t use the link.
Thank you.

Hi Rochelle,

You would usually provide a separate footnote citation and reference entry for each different page or article from the site that you used. Just follow the format provided in the article here, creating a separate citation for each different article from the site.

Hi
How do I cite and reference a webpage in Chicago 17, when I have used it multiple times but different articles? i.e. Malala.org but various parts of the website.
Thank you

In reply to Lenora D. Wolfgang.

Hi Lenora,

Most universities recommend against citing Wikipedia, as it can be edited by anyone and the information may not be reliable. The best approach is usually to seek out the sources listed on a Wikipedia page and cite them instead, especially if these are scholarly articles or books.

Hope that helps!
