questions -
1. Include the "Ed. and with Intro. Harold Bloom" portion?
———. “Norman in Egypt.” . Ed. and with Intro. Harold Bloom. Philadelphia: Chelsea House Publishers, 2003.
- @Amylhester: First, be sure you're using citation templates. Just using editor here is fine, unless you're citing the intro.
2. What if ed. and trans. by same person and with a different author??
Brecht, Bertolt. Brecht on Theater: the Development of an Aesthetic. Trans. and ed. by John Willet. New York: Hill and Wang, 2001.
- You could use both in the template, or pick the more important: in this case editor.
3. What to do if editor citation lists and editor and et al.?
Adorno, Teodor, et al. Aesthetics and Politics. New York: Verso, 1978.
- Find the orginal source and list the editors. —Grlucas (talk) 07:50, 3 September 2020 (EDT)

My citations included 2 journals which didn't exactly fit the usual MLA style - missing the volume and issue numbers and used month instead. I looked up the citations using GALILEO to find that information and included it and wanted to double-check that was the correct thing to do.
