MLA citation for a book with an editor Begin with the author and the title, followed by the name of the editor. In this case the abbreviation "Ed." means "Edited by," so it is the same for one or multiple editors. <<<<
Where would I put citations when using an MLA format in writing?
Items cited usually, but not always, appear in a Works Cited section at the end of the paper. You also need to know how to cite specific items in the text itself. You can find the information on how to do this (for both paper and electronic sources) in the MLA Style Manual or the handbook your school/instructor has selected. Talk to your instructor about where you can get individual help. They may know of a workshop covering this or may be planning to discuss it in class.If you have difficulty determining how to use the manual and/or cite a particular source, check whether your school has a writing center where trained “tutors” can explain how to cite. Also, some fairly good explanations are available on YouTube, but they tend to be short and may just get you started.
MLA format citation for curator notes?

If my MLA formatted quote ends with a question mark, do I take the question mark out and put it after the page number?
You are asking the wrong question here. All of your quoted material goes inside of the delimiting quotation marks including its end punctuation, followed by the parenthetical citation. If there is a period following the citation, its because its the period ending the sentence the quoted material is embedded in. It just happens in some cases the quotation is at the end of the sentence making it appear the the period has something to do with the parenthetical. It does not. MLA is amazingly consistent and simple to use. That's the beauty of it. Thank your lucky stars you never have to do ibid, supra, and infra!
Complicated MLA Citation Question?
well, you need to decide what the initial source is - I imagine you don't have a copy of Shchukin's book. This is the quote, right?: "If you say in the first chapter that there is a rifle hanging on the wall, in the second or third chapter it absolutely must go off. If it's not going to be fired, it shouldn't be hanging there." —Trope Namer Anton Chekhov (From S. Shchukin, Memoirs. 1911.) and this is the website: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Ma... You could simply quote the website, by putting the author of or the name of the site in parenthesis after the quote. Without the publication information for the 'Shchukin' text, it is a questionable source. Besides the writers of the trope website, lifted this info from wikipedia - all of this is highly suspect. The internet is NO replacement for books and actual research. The thing is, though, this quote refers to the idea of 'Chekhov's gun' - a longstanding literary, dramatic, and cinematic technique. The quote is apocryphal - meaning it is sort of mythic and no one is sure who to actually attribute it to. Shchukin may have been a business man who supported the arts and wrote on Chekhov, Matisse and other artists...but I couldn't find any real info on him. All of the above was discovered by taking 5 minutes to poke around online. (And I have heard of the device known as 'Chekhov's gun' - it is sort of common knowledge and public domain - you could just talk about the idea and not cite it.) I lifted this from wikipedia: In 1889, twenty-four-year old Ilia Gurliand noted these words down from Chekhov's conversation: "If in Act I you have a pistol hanging on the wall, then it must fire in the last act". Donald Rayfield, Anton Chekhov: A Life, New York: Henry Holt and Company, 1997, 203. Rayfield's book is real. You could cite this quote and in MLA it would look something like this: As Chekhov as long been credited with suggesting, "If in Act I you have a pistol hanging on the wall, then it must fire in the last act" (qtd. by Rayfield). And then your bibliography would list the source (underlining the title): Rayfield, Donald. Anton Chekhov: A Life. New York: Henry Holt and Company, 1997. 203.
