Napoleon quote

[edit]

I saw in your edit summary for your recent edit to Napoleon Bonaparte that you tweaked the quote based on "my late grandfather's book on Napoleon". Could you provide the title, author, and publishing information on that book, as well as the page on which you found the quote? Properly sourced quotes are much more valuable to Wikiquote than those merely attributed to someone, so this kind of source information is critical. Thank you for your assistance. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 01:57, 20 November 2006 (UTC)Reply

This edit was made at a time when I was unfamiliar with the -pedia system, and also the hunger and need for sources to every statement, and especially quotes, where this is very important. I will write down and remember the author and title when I return to our old house where my (actually great-) grandfather lived, and where the book is kept.
I am sorry for the total absence of and unsatisfactory reference to source. SinWin 17:24, 26 June 2008 (UTC)Reply
The quote now at least has a reference, although not the exact page. SinWin 19:08, 28 June 2008 (UTC)Reply
