Well, I did some minor editing of the stuff you sent me, but it's not yet very well organized. It needs to be grouped a little better, I think. --[[User:Reddick\|Jon]] 18:39, 10 October 2007 (CDT)

	The contradcition was the suggested use of quotation marks ''and'' italics when the convention is quotation marks ''or'' italics. I would say if you couldn't use indentations, just stick with quotation marks for quotes. My opinion only. It is of course your Wiki. ;-) --Tai		The contradcition was the suggested use of quotation marks ''and'' italics when the convention is quotation marks ''or'' italics.

	Sorry. Never wiki drunk. :) Had just gotten back from two pitchers of margaritas and was agitated. :) I actually like the blocked quotes, but I don't know how easy they'll be to do.

	If you can devise a template that will indent that type of quote, I'm all for it. I suppose it's worth mentioning that this isn't the Associated Press either... "My way" vs. "AP way" isn't my concern, as long as I have a set guideline, so when I edit someone else's work it's not arbitrary, but in order to conform to a style. --[[User:Reddick\|Jon]] 19:50, 28 September 2007 (CDT)		If you can devise a template that will indent that type of quote, I'm all for it.

 Oh, I think prolific linking is fine, provided the link out actually has something meaningful to add to the topic.  For instance, if we're talking about a favorite movie, a link to the wikipedia or imdb entry is virtually essential, but I'd discourage [[linking]] [[because]] it seemed like a [[fun]] [[thing]] to do. --[[User:Reddick|Jon]] 20:11, 24 September 2007 (CDT)

 Your mention of italics for quotes confuses me.  The writing convention a la '''AP Stylebook''' is that a quotation of a sentence or two gets quotation marks, a longer quotation gets a separate paragraph, indented on both margins, in italics.  The use of quotation marks ''with'' italics is therefore contradictory.  Thoughts?
