I was going to put together a little article with some quotations I have two questions.

1) instead of saying that the article is "by" me should I say "compiled by" me?

2) do I need to list the sources where I found the quotes?

Thanks guys.

Using "compiled by," would weed out any problems. That is a good way to go, and it never hurts to list your sources on an article such as the one your are suggesting.

Thanks - that should help me avoid any problems!

well problems here anyway - I can get myself into enough trouble everywhere else! lol

I believe a quote without a reference is commonly called plagiarism isn't it?

It's highly advised and generally good etiquette to cite any quote you may use.

Wellll...

Using a quote like:

"Life is What happens, when you're busy making other plans." ---- John Lennon.

is attributing it to the person who said it. But if I looked up the quote in Bartlett's quotations I wondered if I needed to list that as a source (since I may know a lot of quotes but it is good to confirm them for accuracy)

If you're quoting it as something that John Lennon said then you only need to reference him, otherwise you could write a 500 word article on one quote.

According to x book of quotes, who take their reference from the y quote dictionary, z once stated that 'I proofread to make sure I haven't any words out'...
