Your recent Eliot edit looks like it needs quotation marks. Please fix. Thanks. Rwood128 (talk) 09:54, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you for catching that. I've corrected it, though I italicized it rather than putting it in quotations. I believe either quotations or italics are correct here, since The Waste Land was published as its own discrete volume, and italics look cleaner, in my opinion. Thanks again for the heads up.

- Noah Hickman (BYU), I meant the sentence, which certainly sounds like a quotation, especially the phrase "foremost relic". Rwood128 (talk) 22:45, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
- It's not a direct quote from the source, nor is it a close paraphrase, so I don't think quotations are needed. I did change the world "relic" to "example" so the whole thing sounds less contrived and potentially plagiarized. Noah Hickman (BYU) (talk) 22:51, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
- I have made a further change. The problem with the original was that the comment was too personal, and so not appropriate for an encyclopaedia. Rwood128 (talk) 11:27, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
