Works by 2 authors or editors...

GENERAL RULES FOR NAMES ON A REFERENCE PAGE:

• Never list given names in the reference list – use initials only.
• Invert given names and surnames of authors in reference list (i.e., surname is followed by initials; e.g., Naomi Klein > Klein, N.; Daniel P. Krowchuk > Krowchuck, D. P.; Yen-Fei Lin > Lin, Y.-F.)
• If the author or editor has a multigenerational designation, give the generational designation after the initials (e.g., António Simões, Jr. > Simões, A., Jr.; Jens C. Appel, III > Appel, J. C., III).
• If the first name is hyphenated: give the first initial, followed by a period, then a hyphen, followed by the second initial, and ending with a period – there will be no space between the first period and the hyphen (e.g., Yen-Fei Lin > Lin, Y.-F.).
• If the book is edited, use "Ed." in parenthesis after the editors initials (e.g., Simões, A., Jr. (Ed.).) Use "Eds." in parenthesis if you have more than one editor.
• In instances where you have more than one author or editor, do not rearrange the order of their names - present the names in the order that they are given.

Citing Video Weblog Posts [e.g., YouTube, etc.]...

In 2007 the American Psychological Association created the APA Style Guide for Electronic References. This document was created to amend and update material from the 5th edition of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association which was published in 2002. Some of the new sources include: blogs, online dictionaries, video blogs (e.g., YouTube), wikis, etc. This particular entry will cover video weblog posts, which includes sources such as YouTube.

GENERAL FORM:

Author's name/screen name. (Year, Month ##). Title of post [Video file]. Video posted to http://...

NOTE:

• if possible, give the name of the author(s) first in the traditional APA style (surname followed by initials); failing this, use the "screen identity/name" (the author's pseudonym)
  
• none of the text will be italicized
• double space
• employ the hanging indent if necessary
• use "n.d." if no date is available
• the posting's title will be like any other article title - the first word capitalized in the title and subtitle; all others are lowercase unless the proper name of a person, place, or organization appears in the title

IN-TEXT CITATION (based on examples):

Simon Cowell, a notoriously difficult judge, said that Paul Potts's performance on Britain's Got Talent, "was a complete breath of fresh air" (myredroom, 2007). Cowell went on to say that, "I thought you were absolutely fantastic".

NOTE: No page or paragraph numbers could be assigned in the in-text citation because the quote was transcribed from the video. Your audience will have to refer to the video to confirm the quoted text. Additionally, a second in-text citation was not included in the second quote because it should be evident to the audience that it came from the same source as the preceding quotation.
