IMPORTANT NOTE: Most educators and professionals do not consider it appropriate to use tertiary sources such as encyclopedias as a sole source for any information—citing an encyclopedia as an important reference in footnotes or bibliographies may result in censure or a failing grade. Wikipedia articles should be used for background information, as a reference for correct terminology and search terms, and as a starting point for further research.

As with any community-built reference, there is a possibility for error in Wikipedia's content—please check your facts against multiple sources and read our disclaimers for more information.

When using the LaTeX package url (\usepackage{url} somewhere in the preamble), which tends to give much more nicely formatted web addresses, the following may be preferred: 

 @misc{ wiki:xxx,
   author = "Wikipedia",
   title = "Speed of light --- Wikipedia{,} The Free Encyclopedia",
   year = "2017",
   url = "\url{https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Speed_of_light&oldid=786911089}",
note = "[Online; accessed
