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.

  @misc{ enwiki:1305220130,
    author = "{Wikipedia contributors}",
    title = "Location parameter --- {Wikipedia}{,} The Free Encyclopedia",
    year = "2025",
    howpublished = "\url{https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Location_parameter&oldid=1305220130}",
