A citation^{[Wikipedia Sez This Is False]} is a tool^{[Wikipedia Sez This Is False]} authors use to legally copy^{[Wikipedia Sez This Is False]}, distribute^{[Wikipedia Sez This Is False]}, cite^{[Wikipedia Sez This Is False]} and downgrade others' works^{[Wikipedia Sez This Is False]}. It is found mostly^{[Wikipedia Sez This Is False]} in texts where they are used to distract their reader from the text itself^{[Wikipedia Sez This Is False]} by annoying^{[Wikipedia Sez This Is False]} them with obnoxious symbols^{[Wikipedia Sez This Is False]} and references^{[Wikipedia Sez This Is False]}. No reader^{[Wikipedia Sez This Is False]}, of course, takes these seriously^{[Wikipedia Sez This Is False]} because as everyone knows^{[Wikipedia Sez This Is False]}: anything^{[Wikipedia Sez This Is False]} found on the internet is automatically true^{[Wikipedia Sez This Is False]}. Citations^{[Wikipedia Sez This Is False]} are therefore a total^{[Wikipedia Sez This Is False]} waste of the users connection^{[Wikipedia Sez This Is False]}. This is why many webbrowsers have installed an automatic citation filter that blocks citations^{[Wikipedia Sez This Is False]} so that they are not downloaded^{[Wikipedia Sez This Is False]}.

The History^{[Wikipedia Sez This Is False]} of Citations^{[Wikipedia Sez This Is False]}[edit | edit source]

Citations date back to the texts by Plato^{[Wikipedia Sez This Is False]}, who used it extensively in his writings^{[Wikipedia Sez This Is False]}. Plato was very adept at citing^{[Wikipedia Sez This Is False]} and could therefore proudly^{[Wikipedia Sez This Is False]} pass on his knowledge of citations^{[Wikipedia Sez This Is False]} to his student^{[Wikipedia Sez This Is False]}, Aristotle^{[Wikipedia Sez This Is False]}. Plato and Aristotle dedicated their lives^{[Wikipedia Sez This Is False]} to spreading^{[Wikipedia Sez This Is False]} the use of citations^{[Wikipedia Sez This Is False]}, and it was because of them that the practice reached Egypt^{[Wikipedia Sez This Is False]}.

In Egypt^{[Wikipedia Sez This Is False]}, the citations^{[Wikipedia Sez This Is False]} found ^{[Wikipedia Sez This Is False]} a new home^{[Wikipedia Sez This Is False]} within the Alexandrian Library^{[Wikipedia Sez This Is False]}. The citations prospered^{[Wikipedia Sez This Is False]} within the library, and slowly^{[Wikipedia Sez This Is False]} but surely^{[Wikipedia Sez This Is False]} evolved from their citational roots^{[Wikipedia Sez This Is False]}. With lots of books^{[Wikipedia Sez This Is False]} to infect and cite^{[Wikipedia Sez This Is False]}, the citations grew exponentially{{}}, and within weeks^{[Wikipedia Sez This Is False]} formed their own society^{[Wikipedia Sez This Is False]} and congressional courts^{[Wikipedia Sez This Is False]}. It didn't take long^{[Wikipedia Sez This Is False]} before the citations took over the library^{[Wikipedia Sez This Is False]}, and within a month^{[Wikipedia Sez This Is False]} of the liberation, the citations had taken over Egypt.^{[Wikipedia Sez This Is False]} Through clever^{[Wikipedia Sez This Is False]} use of text manipulation^{[Wikipedia Sez This Is False]}, the citations spread throughout the world^{[Wikipedia Sez This Is False]}.

From Egyp^{[Wikipedia Sez This Is False]}t, the now evolved^{[Wikipedia Sez This Is False]} citations had an almost^{[Wikipedia Sez This Is False]} divine^{[Wikipedia Sez This Is False]} impact on the world^{[Wikipedia Sez This Is False]}. It is still tradition in Taiwan^{[Wikipedia Sez This Is False]}, for example, that in order to be successful in life^{[Wikipedia Sez This Is False]} you must cite at least 10 sources^{[Wikipedia Sez This Is False]} for every one thing you make up^{[Wikipedia Sez This Is False]}. Scientists today can only nod their heads^{[Wikipedia Sez This Is False]} in agreement^{[Wikipedia Sez This Is False]} when looking^{[Wikipedia Sez This Is False]} at the countless^{[Wikipedia Sez This Is False]} unsuccessful^{[Wikipedia Sez This Is False]} internet hogs that exist^{[Wikipedia Sez This Is False]}.

Citations have since been proven^{[Wikipedia Sez This Is False]} to be the cause of The Seven Plagues^{[Wikipedia Sez This Is False]}, human stupidity^{[Wikipedia Sez This Is False]}, global warming^{[Wikipedia Sez This Is False]}, the holocaust^{[Wikipedia Sez This Is False]}, entropy^{[Wikipedia Sez This Is False]}, human stupidity^{[Wikipedia Sez This Is False]}, and the 16-year^{[Wikipedia Sez This Is False]} overdue^{[Wikipedia Sez This Is False]} end of the 100 Year War^{[Wikipedia Sez This Is False]}.
