For example, if you want to cite a poem that is listed in a collection of poems, the individual poem is the source, while the larger collection is the container. The title of the container is usually italicized and followed by a comma, since the information that follows next describes the container. These could be collections of literature or art, tv shows or song albums, or websites with multiple pages.]]> 2020-07-24 13:23:03 UTC https://padlet.com/aleverton1/eb9y2uts8pbo4w2c/wish/661842198 Other Contributors aleverton1 https://padlet.com/aleverton1/eb9y2uts8pbo4w2c/wish/661843742 In addition to the author, there may be other contributors to the source who should be credited, such as editors, illustrators, translators, etc. If their contributions are relevant to your research, or necessary to identify the source, include their names in your documentation.
    Note: In the eighth edition, terms like editor, illustrator, translator, etc., are no longer abbreviated.

For example, a television series might have aired on a broadcast network on one date, but released on Netflix on a different date. When the source has more than one date, it is sufficient to use the date that is most relevant to your writing. If you’re unsure about which date to use, go with the date of the source’s original publication.]]> 2020-07-24 13:29:34 UTC https://padlet.com/aleverton1/eb9y2uts8pbo4w2c/wish/661846149 Publication Date (2) aleverton1 https://padlet.com/aleverton1/eb9y2uts8pbo4w2c/wish/661846378 In the following example, Mutant Enemy is the primary production company, and “Hush” was released in 1999. Below is a general citation for this television episode:
    “Hush.” Buffy the Vampire Slayer, created by Joss Whedon, performance by Sarah Michelle Gellar, season 4, Mutant Enemy, 1999.

Because you are specifying the date of airing, you would then use WB Television Network (rather than Mutant Enemy), because it was the network (rather than the production company) that aired the episode on the date you’re citing.
    “Hush.” Buffy the Vampire Slayer, created by Joss Whedon, performance by Sarah Michelle Gellar, season 4, episode 10, WB Television Network, 14 Dec. 1999.
