In one sentence, describe what the following article is about:

Write the first name of the author and then the last name, followed by a comma.  The style illustrated here is for footnotes and endnotes. Bibliography citations are addressed later in this method. For example: Max Smith, If you have multiple authors, list them alphabetically by last name using the same format. Separate each name with a comma, and use the word “and” before the final name. For example: Max Smith, James Yank, and Krista Zee, Format the article title using an open quotation mark, the title, a comma, and then a closed quotation mark. Put the title of the piece in title case. For example: Max Smith, “Why Geopolitics Matters,” Put the name of the publication in title case and follow it with a comma. For example: Max Smith, “Why Geopolitics Matters,” The American Conservative, Write the full name of the month, the day of the month, a comma, and then the year, followed by another comma. For example: Max Smith, “Why Geopolitics Matters,” The American Conservative, May 6, 2015, Write the page number as a numeral or range of numerals followed by a period. So, “[first/only page]-[last page].”  For example, to cite one page: Max Smith, “Why Geopolitics Matters,” The American Conservative, May 6, 2015, 32. Or, to cite a range of pages: Max Smith, “Why Geopolitics Matters,” The American Conservative, May 6, 2015, 32-35. Unless you accessed the article online or in a database, this is the full citation. If you found your magazine article online or in an academic database, write that information after the article’s publication date. To accommodate the new information, the period following the date becomes a comma instead. Write the URL or database, and then add a period at the end of the citation.  For example, in the case of a URL: Max Smith, “Why Geopolitics Matters,” The American Conservative, May 6, 2015, 32, http://www.theamericanconservative.com/articles/why-geopolitics-matters/. Or, in the case of a database: Max Smith, “Why Geopolitics Matters,” The American Conservative, May 6, 2015, 32, LexisNexis Academic. Chicago and Turabian only ask that you include either the URL or the database. You do not need to include both if you found the article in an academic database. If you’re creating a bibliography, write the last name of the author, a comma, the first name, and then a period. The rest of the citation flows the same as a footnote or endnote.For example: Smith, Max. “Why Geopolitics Matters,” The American Conservative, May 6, 2015, 32.
