Real names are not always available for certain sources, e.g., videos and images. If the user's real name is not available, use the screen name.
For works with two to seven named authors, use the same format as print books.
Use the year, month, and day format for images and cartoons.
Write out a work's title like you would write out a sentence: Capitalize the first word, any proper nouns, and the first word after a colon.
Italicize titles of all major works, e.g., titles of books, periodicals, movies, music albums, video games, and TV series.
