Citation

Hoist on yer own petard...if you're going to cite Medical Subject Headings, give the full citation, please. I'm also puzzled about the choice of actually mentioning the source in the text and yet not using an exact quotation for our definition. I would say either give an exact quotation (with quotation marks) or else move the mention of MSH into a footnote. --Larry Sanger 22:06, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

There are a fair number of existing articles that simply say National Library of Medicine, and only sometimes Medical Subject Headings, and are near-direct quotes although not in quotations. I thought it was an accepted quotation since this is the basic public domain resource for medical indexing. Grammatically, the direct quote usually won't work, so I suppose a footnote can be used -- although it won't say much besides "National Library of Medicine, Medical Subject Headings" as it's a browser for the database; I don't think the URLs are persistent.
