Here's another example for a Works Cited Entry:
For the facts, you need to cite (like with easybib.com or citationmachine.net) the sources.

I just put in the URL she provided (after I'd selected Click Here to Select a Source, Web Site), clicked on AutoCite, then on Create Citation -- lower on the page.  Then I could copy that citation, or wait until I had them all and copy the whole works cited/bibliography from easy bib.
This is the works cited entry:
