Thank you for your lesson in correct placement of quotations. I will place them in the order you gave me from this point on. Or I will place them in brackets for easier understanding. Because I was not aware that people do not understand that quotation marks are the understanding that the person you are attributing to the quote is who said it. Thank you, Judy.

Here is your post from #1777:

About those successors to the original twelve..Church historian Philip Schaff writes: "The oldest links in the chain of Roman bishops are veiled in impenetrable darkness." For that reason, it is impossible for the RCC to substantiate its claims of papal succession from Peter to the present Pope.- Philip Schaff, History of the Christian Church (Grand Rapids: eerdmans, 1910), vol. 2, pp. 164-165.

You placed the information about Schaff (page number, etc.) AFTER your statement, this would typically indicate that your statement was a quote from Schaff. Under normal rules of citation, your statement should have been in a separate paragraph or at least clearly denoted as not being from Schaff.

I GET IT, wagglebee. I told you I would place them in the order you gave me from this point on. Is that not enough for you that you must go to Miss Landers for vindication? Once again, I GET IT, Judy.

You placed the information about Schaff (page number, etc.) AFTER your statement, this would typically indicate that your statement was a quote from Schaff.

More precisely, the form used would indicate that the words in quotes were Schaff's words verbatim and the following sentence was a paraphrase or summary of Schaff's continuation of the thought. The reference clearly attributes the idea expressed to Schaff.
