In the example, only the second footnote should even be a footnote - the other two should be endnotes. Citations should be endnotes, while asides, parentheticals, and other bits that someone might actually care to read should go in footnotes.
- dhosek 6y agoUnfortunately, few styles actually dictate this. I remember one anthology from my undergrad days which handled things perfectly: side notes for vocabulary notes (it was an anthology of older English literary texts), footnotes for commentary, end notes for text source notes (there weren't really citations per se so much as indications about where the anthologized text came from and choices about which edition/manuscript was followed for the text).
