Quotation marks and italics for long quote

[edit]

I'm working off Wikipedia:Mos#Italics here; this quote is too long for quotation marks, and the MOS asks us not to use italics to indicate quotation. The only deviation is that I didn't blockquote the long quote, because it seemed pointless to me given that the whole section is a quote. On the other hand, I can see another point of view here, which is that it's not clear that it's a quote from the source. It's not a problem ethically or legally, because the source is PD and there's a template stating that material from the source is incorporated into the article, but it may well be misleading. I'm not sure how to make this clear to the reader, or whether it matters.— alf.laylah.wa.laylah (talk) 18:08, 15 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
