Second try at this bit of advice.

Just a quick note for you for when you do quotes in the future. On Regime Change you added the following markup:

{{quote|[[The Conqueror|''Hindoo, Pathan, Mughal, Mahratta, Sikh, English]] we are [[Not So Different|masters in turn]]; but the village communities [[Determinator|remain the same.'']]

-Sir Charles Metcalfe, Colonial Bureaucrat}}

Please note that you separate the quote from the attribution with a vertical bar ("|"), and that creates the m-dash. Don't do what you did here and put a dash instead; besides not letting the template do the work for you, it comes out looking wrong. For instance, this is what you added:

Hindoo, Pathan, Mughal, Mahratta, Sikh, English we are masters in turn; but the village communities remain the same.
-Sir Charles Metcalfe, Colonial Bureaucrat

And this is how it comes out when properly marked up:

Hindoo, Pathan, Mughal, Mahratta, Sikh, English we are masters in turn; but the village communities remain the same.

—Sir Charles Metcalfe, Colonial Bureaucrat

See the difference?

Thank's. Sorry about that.

No need to apologize. We're just trying to reduce the work necessary to make good-looking articles.
