| == Quoting a portion of a sentence == | |||
| Dear Goethean. I came across your question of the 16 December 2009 at the Village Pump about "quoting a portion of a sentence". I feel that you did not really get a clear answer. That is now long ago, but perhaps you still remember. Have you solved the problem? I often add quotes in citations, mainly to clarify what I intend to cite on the given page of the source. To keep quotes short, I often omit parts of the sentence that are not immediately relevant to the text supported by the citation. You will find examples of this in ], such as "... when Cromwell was recalled to England on account of the threat from Scotland ...". As you see I use ellipses, but perhaps they are not needed? With many thanks and best regards, ] (]) 16:24, 22 July 2021 (UTC) | |||
| : Thanks. , I was engaged in a struggle with followers of the ] over material at the ] article. My question had a polemical subtext against my opponents. So I was not really asking an innocent question. My opponents, incidentally, won the struggle, removing all reference to Ramakrishna's sexual activities from the article on religious grounds. — ] 16:37, 22 July 2021 (UTC) | |||
| ::Dear Goethean. Thanks for your quick and kind reply. It shows me that a wikipedian of your caliber would have expected ellipses when quoting only part of a sentence. With many thanks and kind regards, ] (]) 20:16, 22 July 2021 (UTC) | |||
