:I am not an expert in wiki markup, nor am I well-versed in Conservapedia's style standards.  I'm still learning, and I'm putting notes about what I learn on my user page, in part to remind myself how to do things.  I think either of the two approaches are basically fine.  Personally, I like the way cquote shows the big blue quotation marks, which make it very clear that the section is a quotation.  Using blockquote will set the text apart, but you've got to include some words of attribution before the quote (which of course you should do with the cquote too).  I think cquote is less confusing if multiple paragraphs are quoted, because it's clearer where the quote starts and ends. But again, I'm still learning, so there may be an even better approach out there! (I'll add how to blockquote to my list - thanks for the reminder.) --[[User:Hsmom|Hsmom]] 15:40, 11 October 2008 (EDT)

::My personal view is that cquote should only be used to draw special attention to a particular quote rather than encapsulate a whole article. It tends to be overused in a lot of articles and to my mind makes the page look ugly. Normal quotes are fine in the vast majority of cases. [[User:BrianCo|BrianCo]] 17:09, 11 October 2008 (EDT)
