• Wikipedia articles do not have one author, instead, you start with the entry word.
• Cite the revision history date, so that the reader can tell what version you have used. Access the archived version by selecting "view history" and choosing the date for the version you have used. 
• For Wikis which do not have a revision history, you should instead of a year and a date write (n.d.) [= no date] and include the retrieval date.
