Undocumented Quotations
Hi everybody!

What is the Forum policy regarding the giving of quotations but not documenting where they come from?

Oh=oh! Don't do that!
"Anybody offering quotations without an accompanying credit will be hunted down and shot."

Sorry ... couldn't help it ... one of my favourites, along with "73.67% of all statistics are rubbish."

I think breach of copyright is one aspect, best practice another, good manners a third ...

Re: Undocumented Quotations
So whatta we got...three, four unattibuted quotes indicating that it is apropo to identify your quotes?

Do as I say not as I do?

Always nice, if one knows and quotes correctly to provide recognition.

Well, it's certainly helpful to discussions to have a source, as it helps provide a context towards understanding the context.

So, referencing/linking to sources is fine.
