Help me use quotations well. My discipline and style: [DISCIPLINE_STYLE]. Quotations I plan to use, with sources and pages: [QUOTATIONS]. How they fit in my argument: [ARGUMENT]. Explain when to quote and when to paraphrase, how to introduce and integrate quotations, how to use ellipses and brackets accurately without changing meaning, and how to format block quotations in the required style. Review my planned quotations in a table with Quotation | Needed? | Better as paraphrase? | Introduction sentence | Comment after. Provide sentence templates for integration. Remind me to follow the official style guide and to check copyright for long quotations [VERIFY]. Also add a short guide to using ellipses and square brackets responsibly with two invented examples, labelled as illustrations, and a rule that quotations should not make up more than a modest share of the text, with the exact limit taken from my instructions. Add a final pass: read the paragraph without the quotations to check the argument still stands, and check that each quotation supports a point and is not decoration.
