Improper blockquotes
A blockquote is only used when the entire block is a quote and nothing else. When a paragraph contains quoted material, but also non-quoted material, a blockquote is incorrect.207.69.137.25 19:46, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
- The entire paragraph is quoted material, see the source. Certainly it could be easily re-worded to avoid quoting the entire passage, but as it is, un-blockquoting the paragraph mis-represents the quote. Schi 19:54, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
- You stated, "The entire paragraph is quoted material." No, that's incorrect. The following material was not from the quoted material: Parks would also credit Mount Holyoke later in life. Ergo, my original statement remains correct. I'm going to reword the material that isn't her quote, as a direct quotation of that other stuff is pointless, and will thus make this topic moot.207.69.137.25 20:02, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
- It is moot, but as long as we're quibbling about who's incorrect, I'd like to point out that I was actually not incorrect. The entire paragraph, in the version that I edited, was indeed a quote. Parks would also credit Mount Holyoke later in life. was not originally included in the blockquote. Schi 20:12, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
