To find the source of a quote in Wikipedia that is not attributed, you can use the "Cite this page" feature. This can be found on the left side of the page under the "Tools" section. Click on "Cite this page" and it will provide you with the citation information, including the source of the quote.
If the "Cite this page" feature is not available for the page you are viewing, you can try using the "View history" feature. This can be found under the "View history" tab at the top of the page. From there, you can view previous versions of the page and see if any of them include the citation for the quote.
Yes, there is a way to search for the source of a quote in Wikipedia. You can use the search function at the top right of the page and enter the quote in quotation marks, followed by the word "source". This will bring up any pages that mention the quote and its source.
Yes, you can contact the editors of a Wikipedia page to ask about the source of a quote. At the top of the page, under the "View history" tab, there is a "Talk" tab.

If you are unable to find the source of a quote in Wikipedia, you can try searching for the quote in other reliable sources, such as books or articles.
