How do I cite sources with a last name like "de Quieroz"?

? Can you explain to me why this particular question came up under my “questions for you” inbox?

PS…just guessing, I’d say the last one…I think. I’ll have to go look.

@DutchCat

Well you don’t seem to have any interests listed yet. Maybe the system is just throwing you random questions? Or maybe it just gives specific questions to everyone, so as to get the best advice?

Hold the phone—-is this not easily Googleable?

Whatever.

I’m pretty sure you’d put “de Qiuerzos, Mario.”

@please_not_to_ask2 were you able to find it?

I would craft it under the last name “D”. I have encountered this during my earlier college days under MLA and APA,I just used De….., John.

Im glad AP style doesnt have to deal with this LOL.

@DutchCat – Well, I didn’t need to. I know this stuff. I just know there are easily accessed websites that would answer this question, and I thought we’re supposed to harangue people for asking questions that can be Googled! I’m just trying to fit in!

Since the style for MLA citations is
“D. Sample Works Cited Entries – Print

Book with a one author

Miller, Arthur. Death of a Salesman. Harmondsworth, Eng.: Penguin, 1976. view citation,”,

and since the de is considered part of the surname, you would do it as de Quieroz, Mario.

Marina is right. The “de” is part of the last name, not the first.

@please_not_to_ask2

well I brought it here because I was having trouble finding it on Google.

@Foolaholic You are right. It was not an easy search.
