==General requirements==
In general sources must contains contain the exact '''title''' of the publication as it appears on the Lexicanum (pay attention to not link to [[Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum:Redirect|redirects]] but to the correct target article) and the '''exact location of the information within the source'''. For print publications the latter means pagenumber(s) (or for example a specification like "front/ back cover"), for e-book formats pagenumbers are not "fixed", therefore in this case chapter numbers are acceptable. Do note that the names of authors are ''not'' included in the citations. For video and audio publications it also has to be mentioned where exactly in the file the information is to be found.

If an information "stretches" over several pages (or in extreme cases even chapters in for example a novel) the range of pages (or chapters) must be given in the citation. An example for this would be events that stretch over a period of time and can not be pinpointed to an exact paragraph or sentence in a source. Note however that on no account this practice is allowed to be abused to avoid the need for citations for details that can be pinpointed to an exact part of the source.
