Quote length

[edit]

Hi @Diannaa: Ok so:

  • About WP:NFCC - I assume you won't object if I shorten them all down to the first few words and then ellipsis (...) them?
  • What is Quotations from sources should only be provided if the material is controversial or likely to be challenged about?

Thanks. Invasive Spices (talk) 18:42, 26 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Our non-free content policy allows short quotations, but their use should be kept to a bare minimum as part of our mandate to provide an encyclopedia that can be freely copied. Adding a quotation for each citation is not one of the uses mentioned at Wikipedia:Non-free content#Text. In practice, this means that we don't add a quote to every citation - we only include a quote if absolutely necessary. For example if the material is controversial or likely to be challenged.— Diannaa 🇨🇦 (talk) 20:48, 26 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
