How should I refer to another site when I quote them here?

i have a question for you guys. what is adequate reference info in quoting from another website? is just a link back enough? would it matter if the page is primarily composed of quotes versus sparing use?

i don't think he meant citations. i think he meant in terms of the nicest way to say "thanks" for pulling a quote.

i'd say... um... "thanks" with a link to the original source.
