If you mean Wikipedia, I don't think you do. There are generally accepted and approved ways to cite the IBM publication number (and section and/or page number reference, for example) then include a link to the site to obtain that publication. Wikipedia explains its citation policies and practices here: https://secure-web.cisco.com/1LwyBfeOxcVntdWJyB5uWtge2BKfCPUpidki6StHGYBHy9tMlhsPpjioXobKsBeCpunCysBGLPxjvVmRh6y_qI72dEKjYVbzZ17W1XJIFLoCVNl1Ax2GhoGH_CXAaJoi_PgyK7WwrXKkbJqbQw1DngAox_zIXUnITzAupN2e_90AuxvqqBoPb0YpNNd0RwufsdNlOSd65Z5k40RRKLu70eh55ESz1npsSG_R6V_jUIDewRU4Cb6xrP6bvzrWW50XLUEVluvR0B0_NOVT8673icTZzm5-GlHDHJEmWaBMh6Giuk32MyKNgiDHaDfxQV6AAfpdnLrMhlePdJ9tPe5sDw7krs01JAMoWLPHG_ZYDol4rumuFj8-hJzZuHblaG9CqFORTWANYq1QTL_sGMaPJfmqFvGDWeRIsdzU9wYtDDRHWp0i5XdNMV5UXE7dfMMux/https%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FWikipedia%3ACiting_sources Joe Monk provided the link to the specific IBM Web page where you can download that publication in BookManager format. In a Wikipedia-style citation you would likely note that detail, assuming you test it. ("IBM BookManager electronic publication format, retrieved and viewed with IBM Softcopy Reader on date-X.") BookManager has a Wikipedia entry available for linking here: https://secure-web.cisco.com/1hcANSCDtkWkmaINnzXxdAcG0in45KSDBWaiu_m5AWW3VnSyK5EpNMzpnZ2Vjn6W6QYlvWwyIVHBX79inZa9xZQf40zEFRAF7H5GUeA1jSibeiuIeq7htsT77FXmU_G7d2nE8JT3bQ1I_ZZE3RsR_gxOdF_LQbFIZAO-4KMXCNONRhtt2grJ7AAUd4OitK1IeyZlkX7SSV6Sz2wl4U-GxsjxKE_HpbVYuSbD0BBNY38xLHctj1wFKV_DxpsWvrW9mbgk0_UX02jigSOx_LJA5rUskSCZJU3MYX5iGJNoFHrqKsgyxpDmaO4GO0fwD_80rfQlEphuyut9zX4jtfGQDjT__2WV0RJTOLg2bq48rjp1VJSkvZe_Q2ROuFGRKrm5QKentWibDocwRGD5hLRE2mRbJPnyBYTt5iDQ1mc-erz1NXqER1bzMdkC14LHXmJs4/https%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FSCRIPT_%28markup%29#Bookmanager And IBM Softcopy Reader has an external link here: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=4&uid=swg27018849 - - - - - - - - - - Timothy Sipples I.T.
