re Wikilinking within a quote?

Yes, again, just like with the bolding, wikilinking within a quote is a violation of NPOV. Unless the word itself was linked within the secondary source for that quote, itself, then that becomes the user's own decision to draw attention to a particular word, which is a violation of NPOV by emphasizing that user's POV. Both bolding and wikilinking within a quote should be avoided. -- Cirt (talk) 14:25, 9 February 2015 (UTC)

Nevertheless, I found this delink unfortunate, as most of us don't speak Latin, and I really don't think the helpful inclusion of Wiktionary's definition for a fortiori colors the author's (Cohen) original intent with my POV. --DigitalBluster (talk) 22:34, 11 February 2015 (UTC)

If you wish to add a note t a quote - add the note. Wikipaper is cheap. Collect (talk) 14:32, 14 February 2015 (UTC)

FYI

The section you started on my user talk page has been moved, not by myself, but is now at Wikiquote:Village_pump#Wikilinking_within_a_quote. -- Cirt (talk) 15:03, 9 February 2015 (UTC)

Thank you very much

Thank you very much for your comments at Village Pump about the inappropriateness of wikilinking and bolding within quoted text.

Much appreciated.

Thanks again,
