When doing a work cited page do you have to put the pages that you used. I already inserted the pages that I used when I sighted in my paper?
I used a novel
You need to have each source of information cited in TWO places:
1. the Works Cited page that is placed after the last page of your paper, and
2. in parentheses in the text of your paper, immediately after the quotation or paraphrase.
For example, this would go on the Works Cited page (with proper indentation for the second and following lines):
Du Bois, W.E.B. The Souls of Black Folk. Chicago, 1903. Project Bartleby. Ed. Steven van Leeuwen. Dec. 1995. Columbia U. 2 Dec. 2003
<www.cc.columbia.edu/acis/bartleby/dubois/>.
... and this would go immediately after the quotation or whatever:
(Du Bois)
The information in parentheses in the text needs to be as brief as possible. That's why there's a Works Cited page – for all the details of the listing.

Here's a good place for information on citing in MLA format:

Hold your cursor over the words CITING SOURCES in the left column and then click on whatever type of source you need help with. Many examples will show up. You will get two examples for each type of reference – one for the Works Cited page and one for the parenthetical (in-text) citation.
You can also see what a Works Cited page looks like – click on Sample Works Cited in the left column.
When creating a Works Cited page, you generally include all the sources you referenced in your paper. Including page numbers can be helpful for more specific citations such as quotes or paraphrases. However, if you have already cited the pages of your sources within the body of your paper, you may not need to include the page numbers in your Works Cited page, as long as the source is cited correctly with all the necessary information (author, title, publication date, etc.).
It's important to remember that citation styles can vary (e.g., MLA, APA, Chicago), so it's essential to follow the specific guidelines of the style you are using. The format of a Works Cited page can also vary depending on the source type (e.g., book, article, website). Make sure to consult the appropriate style guide or use citation tools, like online generators or citation management software, to ensure accurate formatting.
