http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benjamin_Franklin

Answer 1

You have to site the entire Wikopedia web site, because it pulss information from a variety of sources. If you click one of those blue links for further information, you will more likely get the author of that particular author. Also, please note it's spelled "site" not "sight."

Answer 2

Wikipedia, as stated before, is authored by the internet community and is therefore an unreliable source. I do not allow my high school students to cite it.

Do note, however that there are a number of perfectly legitimate sources at the bottom of the page. See below for a sampling of these sources.

If any of these sources do not have authors, then you simply leave off the author part of the citation, as they are likely collaborative experts, and the sponsoring organizations should lend sufficient credibility to the sources.

When citing a source with parenthetical documentation, simply use the first word of the first title in the absence of an author's name.

Answer 3

Try typing in some of the work and see what comes up, that USUALLY works! Good luck :)
