Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This template can be used to cite the online version of An Encyclopedia of Claims, Frauds, and Hoaxes of the Occult and Supernatural by James Randi.

Note that the usage license on the online encyclopedia is described as "You are free to quote from it, providing full source credit is provided."

Usage[edit]

Use the "|" (pipe) character between each parameter. Unused parameters may be deleted to avoid clutter in the edit window. Some samples on this documentation page may include the current date. If the date is not current, then purge the page.
