Line 13: * source information for tables and other elements. ~~The use of~~ Footnotes ~~is only one of several options for providing source information in the article. Other systems of inline citation, including~~or ~~{{sfnote}}~~[[Help:Shortened ~~and~~footnotes\|shortened ~~{{paren}},~~footnotes]] may be used at the editor's discretion in accordance with the guideline on [[WP:CITEVAR\|Variation in citation methods]]. Only certain types of material on the English Wikipedia are required to have an inline citation. There is [[Wikipedia:Inline citation#Citation density\|no requirement to provide a citation for every sentence]], because multiple sentences may be supported by the same footnote. For advice on which material should be cited, see the guidelines on [[WP:MINREF\|When you must use inline citations]], the [[Wikipedia:Good article criteria\|Good article criteria]] and [[Wikipedia:when to cite\|When to cite]]. For advice on how to organize and format bibliographic citations, see the guideline on [[Wikipedia:Citing sources\|Citing sources]] and examples of [[Wikipedia:Citation templates#Examples\|Citation templates]].
