Wikipedia citations are done in-line with the text, and are automatically aggregated as footnotes at the bottom of pages. Citation templates are an easy way for beginners to begin inserting citations.

Do not copy-paste text from a website directly into Wikipedia. Paraphrasing and citation is necessary.
