Just a casual Wiktionarian.
I created this user page just so that my username no longer shows up as red.

Quotes used and words created do not imply endorsement of any ideology.
My primary language is English.
- I may occasionally add etymologies or create pages for non-English terms, but these are either documented or self-evident.

Find a word that needs quotes.
Search the word in quotation marks on Google.
If the word is in major dictionaries, but you need a use, search the word with the site: parameter to specify a site to look through. I recommend NYT (nytimes.com) as it has been around for a long time and contains many different words. The Guardian (theguardian.com) can be used to find quotes for British spellings.
Use a quote template like this
- 2000 July 1, <author>, “<title>”, in <website>‎^[<url>]:
  <passage>
- For this template, dates are in the DD-MM-YYYY format.

New York Times (nytimes.com)
- For American spellings
The Guardian (theguardian.com)
- For British spellings
Dexerto (dexerto.com)
- For video game-related terms.
- Other gaming websites also work.
Scientific American (scientificamerican.com)
- For scientific terms as well as animal species.
Google Books (books.google.com)
