OED Entry

In case anyone wants to start this entry:

MLA end note citation: "scopophilia, n.". OED Online. September 2011. Oxford University Press. 1 December 2011 <http://www.oed.com/viewdictionaryentry/Entry/172997>.

There's obviously more. The link is in the citation. Also, I didn't do all the formatting because I'm busy. So italics are missing, etc. --24.61.191.94 (talk) 04:46, 2 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
