One extra point in citation filling out the "contributor" field
Hello,
I'm using the American Psychological Association style and I'm trying to cite a dictionary. If I put the author in the field, it comes out right:
Siefring, J. (2004). The Oxford Dictionary of Idioms. Oxford: Oxford University Press, USA
However, if I put that person as a contributor (as is the case), the citation comes out like this:
The Oxford Dictionary of Idioms. (2004). . Oxford: Oxford University Press, USA.
As you can see, there is an extra point between the date and the place. Is it a bug?
Thanks.

I'm not sure how dictionaries are cited normally in APA - given that this particular one has an editor could it make more sense to simply treat it as an edited volume?
Btw. are you using the "dictionary entry" type? That should be used for a particular entry in the dictionary (with the title of the entry between the two periods), not for the dict. as a whole.
