Presidential Candidate Platforms

Citation code examples

See Ben Carson's page for an example of citation formatting.

A candidate's website should be cited using candidate initials followed by a "W". For example, Ben Carson's campaign website should be cited as (BCW), Donald Trump's website should be cited as (DTW), etc.

Information from the debates should be cited as the first letter of the party debating (Republican or Democrat, so R or D), followed by a D for debate, followed by the debate number (if it was the first debate, a 1, the second debate, a 2, etc) For example, if I wanted to cite the Republican's third debate, I would cite it as (RD3).

Any other websites unique and specific to information about your candidate, feel free to make up an acronym. Whatever acronym you use, be sure to list at the bottom of the wiki page accompanied by the link to said information.
