This topic of how to cite sources has been raised anew in the forum (see ''[http://forums.familysearch.org/en/showthread.php?t=6523 Citations]''). In my opinion have a source is more important than the style used, but mixing styles on the same page would be confusing so I propose that the wiki adopts something along these lines.
 
# Let everyone use the style they feel works best

# The style used should be consistent on a page
 
# Don't change somebody elses source style until talking/communicating with them
