If the author is John Sterling, specify|author=Sterling.|1=or|chapter=– the name of the chapter quoted from.|date=– if quoting from a part of the work which is separately dated (for example, a letter), use|date=to specify it in the format15 June 1839orJune 15, 1839.|2=or|page=, or|pages=– mandatory in some cases: the page number(s) quoted from. When quoting a range of pages, note the following:- Separate the first and last pages of the range with an en dash, like this:

|3=,|text=, or|passage=– the passage to be quoted.|footer=– a comment on the passage quoted.|brackets=– use|brackets=onto surround a quotation with brackets.
