How do I add a quotation?

[edit]

How do I add a quotation? I don't understand the Wiktionary syntax. I want to add the following quotation:

https://aerospace.honeywell.com/us/en/about-us/press-release/2023/09/honeywell-civitanavi-systems-launch-new-inertial-measurement-units

The HG2800 is also integral in Honeywell’s Celestial Aided Alternative Navigation product, which tracks stars and resident space objects to provide a passive unjammable solution with GPS-like accuracy in GPS-denied or -spoofed conditions. 2.25.65.76 00:18, 13 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

Thanks but that's not durably archived: we generally need citations from printed books etc. and not short-lived Web pages. Equinox 09:22, 13 December 2023 (UTC)Reply
Unlike web links, people can't check books if they don't have that book (or the specific edition) and this is the first time I've seen web links refused to be accepted on Wiktionary. And in any case (a) if a link becomes inactive, it becomes inactive, no big deal, (b) people could Google any products mentioned in the quotation (or any useful terms) if the link becomes dead, and (c) the Wayback Machine provides durable links anyway. This is an absolutely insane. Which Wiktionary rule are you referring to that says that web links aren't acceptable sources? 2.25.65.76 18:30, 14 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

Those criteria don't say that web links aren't acceptable sources, which is what I asked you. That link says: "Where possible, it is better to cite sources that are likely to remain easily accessible over time...". It doesn't say that online links are not acceptable period. 2.25.65.76 18:54, 14 December 2023 (UTC)Reply
So are you now going to tell me how to add the quotation I gave above or are you going to continue to be obstructive and unhelpful? Are YOU here to build a dictionary? Compare: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Here_to_build_an_encyclopedia 2.25.65.76 19:10, 16 December 2023 (UTC)Reply
