Quotation marks on Wikipedia

Hello Platosghostlybeard. A quick note about your recent edit on Hell of a Book: per the style guide entry at MOS:LQUOTE, Wikipedia uses logical quotation, which means that punctuation is only placed inside quotation marks when (a) the punctuation is part of the original quoted material, and (b) the quoted material is a full sentence, not a word, phrase, or sentence fragment. So in this instance, the original punctuation was correct. Ruбlov (talk • contribs) 12:42, 21 November 2022 (UTC)

Referencing

I notice in your summary in your edit of Soul, you mentioned "I included proper citations". You may find Help:Introduction to referencing with Wiki Markup/3 helpful, as it explains how to quickly and easily produce fully formed citations on Wikipedia. Your first one began "For more on the basic meaning of the Greek word, see ..." which on Wikipedia means that it is not so much a reference supporting the statement but an explanatory note, for which you may find Help:Footnotes#Footnotes: predefined groups and eventually Help:Shortened footnotes helpful. Happy editing! NebY (talk) 15:42, 10 October 2024 (UTC)

Thank you very much! This is very kind and helpful. I will review the resources shortly. Platosghostlybeard (talk) 16:15, 10 October 2024 (UTC)
