Ellipsis, direct quote

[edit]

@Maurice Magnus: From MOS:CONFORM

"A quotation is not a facsimile and, in most cases, it is not a requirement that the original formatting be preserved. Formatting and other purely typographical elements of quoted text should be adapted to English Wikipedia's conventions without comment, provided that doing so will not change or obscure meaning or intent of the text."

I just edited the ellipses again. The first ellipsis follows a period at the end of a sentence, and, since an ellipsis is three periods and the end of a sentence already has a period, we have a total of four periods. The other two ellipses come in the middle of a sentence, so they need only three periods, but there should be spaces around them so that the first of the three periods doesn't appear to be the period at the end of a sentence. At least that's how I see it. Maurice Magnus (talk) 02:18, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

borderline personality disorder

[edit]

I happened to notice this diff added two claims of borderline personality disorder, but also that the account which made them was since blocked for abuse. Since this is a featured article, it would be best if this was double-checked. --Joy (talk) 21:07, 20 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The two sources look ok to me. One is an article in a refereed journal published for a national professional association. The other is a specialist book by a reputable psychiatrist (https://www.legacy.com/us/obituaries/latimes/name/joan-lachkar-obituary?id=37010767) which is in the Internet Archive; although it is not fully available there at the moment and I haven't been able to check the page cited.
