** Here's what Wikipedia says in the link posted: "For a quotation consisting of several paragraphs, especially in older texts, the convention is to start each separate paragraph of the quoted text with an opening quotation mark, but to use a closing quotation mark only at the end of the last paragraph [...]." Where's the confusion? The quote consisted of multiple paragraphs (two, to be exact). Each opened with a double-quote; only the last (second) closed with a double-quote, exactly as described at the link above. --[[User:Brossow|Brossow]] 06:07, 16 December 2008 (UTC) | ** Here's what Wikipedia says in the link posted: "For a quotation consisting of several paragraphs, especially in older texts, the convention is to start each separate paragraph of the quoted text with an opening quotation mark, but to use a closing quotation mark only at the end of the last paragraph [...]."

Revision as of 06:09, 16 December 2008
I did find your tone a -little- insulting. And whether or not it is actually spanning paragraphs is questionable, but whatever. As I have been taught it would not be quoted for both sentences, and you have been taught otherwise. Since I only have a minor in English, I won't argue the point further. --Kevrlet 05:54, 16 December 2008
well said kevrlet, i agree. --Chong McBong 06:03, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
- Then you were taught wrong. :-) You won't find any English textbook that teaches otherwise. Sorry if I seemed insulting. Just correcting misinformation and/or improper editing. --Brossow 05:57, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
and Brossow, read this again.. maybe you see that you are wrong.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quotation_mark#Quotations_spanning_several_paragraphs --Chong McBong 06:03, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
