 | This article uses ibid., op. cit., loc. cit. (or similar) which are against Wikipedia's style guidelines because of problems keeping them consistent over time. Please help to improve this article by replacing these notations with named references (visual table), or use the format "Russell, Short Title, 182" rather than "Ibid, 182", where appropriate. |
This template will add tagged articles to a cleanup category according to the month and year given.
Usage

Pages on which this template is transcluded will be added to Category:Articles with ibid from November 2024. If no date is given, articles will be added to the more general Category:Articles with ibid, until a robot adds the date.
