==Logical Quotation==

Hi, Neutrality.

Please take another look at [[Manual of Style#Quotation marks]] before reverting (without explanation) my correction of the illogical quotation on the [[Jimbo Wales]] page.

#Arthur said the situation was "deplorable". (''The full stop (period) is not part of the quotation.'')
#Arthur said, "The situation is deplorable." (''The full sentence is quoted; the full stop (period) is part of the quotation.'')
#Arthur said that the situation "was the most deplorable he had seen in years." (''Although the full sentence is not quoted, the sense of finality conveyed by the full stop (period) is part of the quotation.'')

I abide by the third rule, even though it sometimes sticks in my craw. I can't see how or why anyone (British, American or [http://www.jargon.net/jargonfile/h/HackerWritingStyle.html Hacker] :-) would have a problem with the first rule.
