::::[[KHWiki:Manual_of_Style#General|These]] are not quotations, per se. As in, when it says <blockquote>"The Way to the Dawn" should be named "Way to the Dawn".</blockquote> we are not quoting someone who says, "Way to the Dawn." If we did, there's no question the period goes inside the quotation marks. Is this really against American grammar? --{{User:Neumannz/SigTemplate}} 04:05, 11 July 2014 (UTC) | ::::[[KHWiki:Manual_of_Style#General|These]] are not quotations, per se.

:::::According to one of the textbooks that I have to use at uni, commas or periods ''always'' fall ''inside'' quotation marks, even when they are not part of the quotation. Dashes, question marks and exclamation marks should be placed in quotation marks only if the belong to the quotation. It doesn't say if there is a difference between American grammar and grammar from other places, but it seems to be an American book, as it uses the American term ''period'' instead of the British ''full stop''. So I think we should probably use the format that ENX suggested. - {{User:LevL/Signature}} 09:06, 11 July 2014 (UTC) | |||
