To quote or cite, that is the question

I have tagged two excessively long quotations in this article because the Manual of Style says that Quotations "... may be used to illustrate a point, establish context, or attribute a point of view or idea. ... try not to overuse them. ... is incompatible with an encyclopedic writing style ... It is generally recommended that content be written in Wikipedia editors' own words. Consider paraphrasing quotations into plain and concise text when appropriate ... " Also, if editors are going to cite old newspapers from an archived copy that is available on-line then provide the full URL and copy ALL the newspaper citation details available from the source archive into a news citation template, including the newspaper, issue number, volume, publication date, page and archive source including the URL. Also, verify the OCR text against the original print image. While optical character recognition is good technology on well printed text, the quality of some (microfilm) images from old newspapers can be poor and be misinterpreted by the OCR process, sometimes. Verify that the source image is the same as the OCR text, and correct any OCR text errors in quoted texts. Also, it pays to check if the same, or similar, news story appears in other newspapers around the same time, as many newspapers share stories with each other or publish syndicated stories from news agencies. A printing typo or OCR error in one newspaper story might not appear in another paper. - Cameron Dewe (talk) 11:03, 14 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
