Literal Quoting

Hello, I notice you have been editing articles to place punctuation inside quotes even though the punctuation is not part of the quoted text. While this is a common practice in English, the Wikipedia Manual of Style requires literal quoting. With literal quoting, punctuation is included inside the quoted text only if it is actually part of that text. For example, in list of song titles, the commas separating the songs should be outside the quotes, and if the a song title ends a sentence, the period should be outside the quotes. See MOS:LQ for more information. Thanks. --hulmem (talk) 18:17, 28 October 2012 (UTC)
