Unknown
Certainly! Here’s a properly formatted example you can use for citing a page when the author is unknown — following several common citation styles (APA, MLA, and Chicago).
✅ APA (7th ion):
Format:
Title of the page. (Year, Month Day). Website Name. URL
Example:
The Origins of Ancient Sculpture. (2023, August 14). Art History Archive.
???? Note: When no author is listed, start with the title. If no publication date is given, use “(n.d.)” for “no date.”
✅ MLA (9th ion):
Format:
“Title of Webpage.” Website Name, Publisher (if different from website name), Date of publication, URL.
Example:
“The Origins of Ancient Sculpture.” Art History Archive, 14 Aug. 2023, .
???? If the publisher and website name are the same, omit the publisher.
???? Access date is optional but recommended for undated pages: “Accessed 4 Oct. 2025.”
✅ Chicago (17th ion):
Format:
“Title of Page.” Website Name. Last modified Month Day, Year. URL.
Example:
“The Origins of Ancient Sculpture.” Art History Archive. Last modified August 14, 2023. .
???? If no date is available, you may write “Accessed October 4, 2025.” instead.
???? Generic Placeholder for “Unknown Author”
If you’re citing a general web page and truly no author or organization can be identified, use:
Author: Unknown
Citation: “Title of Page.” Website Name, (n.d.), URL.
Example (generic):
Unknown. “History of Bronze Sculpture.” Ancient Art Museum, (n.d.). .
