Thanks for the help on Reference desk! I'll probably wind up quoting your "lesson" in my own sourcing efforts. &#9786; ~ Jeff Q (talk) 01:23, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

Thanks!
Thanks for the help with the R. Turnbull quote. While I'm sure that wasn't the book I got it from, it is without a doubt, the original source.

I plead 'youthful ignorance' on the charge of not properly documenting sources when I added it to my collection. I was about 14yrs old at the time! I know better now :-) - Versageek 06:03, 8 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Don't feel too foolish about not thinking of sourcing, Versageek. Renowned author and business maven Laurence J. Peter (of "Peter Principle" fame) hadn't learned this lesson after nearly six decades when he published Peter's Quotations, his own collection of useful quotes from many sources. Unfortunately, this is the norm outside of the formal quote dictionaries like Bartlett's Famous Quotations and The Oxford Dictionary of Quotations, which Wikiquote strives to emulate (and improve upon). I'm happy to see you and MeltBanana on board with the need for proper sourcing. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 09:52, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
