Note also that you can add the source of the citation:

which will look like

Wikipedia is not always reliable.

As an alternative to the other replies in this thread, you can select the text you want to quote, which opens a small dialog with choices 'Quote' and 'Reply'. Click 'Quote'.

At the bottom of the thread, where it says 'Have something to add?' click the 'Insert Quotes...' button.

I followed this procedure to quote what you said earlier in this thread.
