The apostrophe is not a typo. It's in the original book. We must cite sources with accuracy. Equinox ◑ 01:45, 7 July 2018 (UTC)

Your week-long block, not to mention reverting a bunch of unrelated edits, seems a grossly disproportionate response to your objection. Please see Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style#Typographic_conformity among others. It's a typo in the original, which should be corrected here. Or does this WP policy not apply here?

Manual of style does not apply to written sources. Again, written sources are cited as-is, regardless of the mistakes they have. SURJECTION _{·talk·contr·log·} 16:20, 11 July 2018 (UTC)

And in no circumstance should good-faith edits be taken as vandalism. Alistair1978 (talk) 16:17, 11 July 2018 (UTC)

Considering you kept doing this over and over again despite being rollbacked, it is not that unreasonable to consider it vandalism. SURJECTION _{·talk·contr·log·} 16:20, 11 July 2018 (UTC)

I think link above is mangled here. This is the intended link which refers to formatting of quotes [[1]] Alistair1978 (talk) 16:26, 11 July 2018 (UTC)

That applies to prose, not a literal direct citation of the text. Regardless, the page you linked does not talk anything about fixing perceived grammatical or typographical mistakes in quotations. SURJECTION _{·talk·contr·log·} 16:27, 11 July 2018 (UTC)
