 * The part that's highlighted is the text from Pollack's index card. Should I remove the quotation and turn it more into original prose in the Content section, or do you have other ideas? --Hameltion (talk, contribs) 16:45, 18 August 2017 (UTC)
 * need your help on this. Thank you  FITINDIA   16:52, 18 August 2017 (UTC)
 * I just went ahead and converted it into prose. The main overlap now is a quotation, which is fine. --Hameltion (talk, contribs) 16:59, 18 August 2017 (UTC)
 * (edit conflict) I'm not really the person to ping on this subject, but I think it is perfectly all right to quote the content of the index card as long as it is clear that it is a quotation, and it is immediately followed (or preceded) by a citation. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 17:05, 18 August 2017 (UTC)
