====Example five==== ::{{!xt|It was "the most something" of a case of XYZ. Next sentence[s].{{dummy reference|1}}}} This is an example of where the article editor appears to be quoting a phrase from a source, as opposed from using quote marks for [[use–mention distinction]] or a [[Scare quotes|scare quote]]. The citation should be bought closer to the quote. :Resolved as: ::{{xt|It was "the most something" of a case of XYZ.{{dummy reference|1}} Next sentence[s].{{dummy reference|1}}}} This is appropriate where the quoted phrase is not reasonably mistaken as [[use–mention distinction]] or a [[Scare quotes|scare quote]]. :or ::{{xt|It was "the most something"{{dummy reference|1}} of a case of XYZ. Next sentence[s].{{dummy reference|1}}}} Where the quoted phrase might be mistaken as [[use–mention distinction]] or a [[Scare quotes|scare quote]]. :An alternative is to explicitly attribute the phase quoted. ::{{xt|It has been described by the author, ''Name'', as "the most something" of a case of XYZ.{{dummy reference|1}} Next sentence[s].{{dummy reference|1}}}} :or ::{{xt|It has been described by the author, ''Name'', as "the most something"{{dummy reference|1}} of a case of XYZ. Next sentence[s].{{dummy reference|1}}}} Scare quotes should, in general, be attributed, since they usually represent a "point of view", unless they are the subject of discussion. ::{{!xt|It was "scare quote" ...}} :as opposed to ::{{xt|The "scare quote" was the subject of ...}}
