Let me start by saying, this is not accusatory. I honestly don't know the answer, so I'm asking.

I posted an answer to a question, and included a general summary of the article I linked, just in case "link rot" ever sets in. The question is here:

Why was there a robot in Rocky IV?

It was edited so that the summary was wrapped in quote markup.

Is this the proper way to handle a user's summary of a source article? I understand that if it was a direct quote then it's definitely the way to go, but is a summary something that should be wrapped in quote markup?

Again, I'm not asking so that someone will take any action. I'm just curious for future answers I give.
