[Sca-cooks] How to cite SCA cooks messages

[Gaylin Walli]

It will depend largely on the style guide you're using. The Chicago Manual
of Style suggests as follows:

Q. Hello. How do you document pseudonyms which appear in online discussion
groups? In these situations, you only have the nickname or pseudonym as a
reference (e.g., "Shelly," "Peaches"), and no proper name to link it to. Is
it sufficient to put the nickname or pseudonym in inverted commas in the
body of the work, and in the endnote too?

A. Yes, that's a good way to do it. After using quotation marks at the first
mention of a nickname in the text, you can drop the quotation marks for
subsequent mentions. In the notes, however, use the quotation marks for
every citation.
