Incorrect quotation
Hi. In my copyedit, I had left a commented out note regarding a particular passage that "...this needs in-text attribution of the source, who said this, in what publication?" In response you placed quote marks around the passage, and attributed it in-text as a direct quotation from the cited BBC source. That cannot be correct since I completely changed the text in my copyedit – that is, you placed quote marks around text I wrote ("Members are given autonomy to decide..."). Thus, that text is not from the source. You would either have to quote what the BBC actually said, or to use my text, attribute the information to the BBC, yes, but not as a quote, since it's not (in which case you would change the word "stated" to something else, like "indicated"; when you use "stated, that usually indicates a quote is coming). By the way, we do not normally italicize quotations.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 21:57, 28 October 2016 (UTC)
