That doesn t make even the slightest bit of sense That you think it looks shitty is not a justification for ignoring rules so of course I wouldn t prefer it You are flat wrong on this It is more important the the text of quotations not be misleading than that Hell in a Bucket like the way something looks It s weird enough that you refuse to understand the rather obvious reason why the brackets were there but that you edit warred over it is incomprehensible It s understandable when someone edit wars to try to enforce a guideline but to consciously do so for no more reason than you don t like the guideline is hard to understand
