Using display

{{Americana|wstitle=Monroe (Louisiana) |display=Monroe, La.}}
displays as:

Using noicon

If a shorter citation is desired, containing the editor of the 1920 edition, the long option can be used. For example:
{{Americana|wstitle=Schlatter, Michael|short=x}}
displays as:
This article incorporates text from a publication now in the public domain: . Encyclopedia Americana. 1920.
If another edition besides 1920 is being used, the editor name can be customized using editor-first and editor-last. If used, these two items will be displayed whether or not the long option is specified.
