I'm a 20th Century military historian based in Canberra, Australia. I make occasional changes to pages related to military history, particularly related to Australia and the South West Pacific Area. Recently I have been involved with improving articles related to the Manhattan Project. I have also been involved with improving articles related to the history of the Paralympics.
Name the author in the main text and not in a footnote if the quotation is a full sentence or more. However, attribution is unnecessary with quotations that are clearly from the person discussed in the article or section.
