There was a problem hiding this comment.
(This is IEEE style, which is, well, consistent with the journal this was published in...)
The bibtex entry is different from the one in `citing.rst` and in `matplotlib/__init__.rst`. `citing.rst` is already linked from the homepage (or one can search "citing"/"citation" in the search box) so I decided against keeping it in the FAQ. While we're at it, fix the citation in citing.rst (it's not Hunter et al -- jdh was the sole author).

Semi-OT: IMHO the citing section on the main page could also go. Citing is probably not one of the most common things that users are looking for. OTOH it would be good to add citing.rst to the contents, somewhere near Users Guide -> License or Credits. |

You get to push whatever fix you want :) |

The 3.7 failure is apt related. @timhoffm Searching for how to cite is something people should be doing more of 😉 |
On the road! So, can just post nagging comments for now. 😛
@tacaswell Agree. 😄 |
