Sure, why not. It'd also be great if there was a convenient way of quoting stuff from the article. I still haven't come up with a convention that I'm happy with. You really want something that puts a nice big box around it to make clear what's a quote and what isn't. Something sort of like what happens when you start a line with a space, but without the monospace, and with line wrapping.
I commend for your perusal the <blockquote> tag, which can be customised with CSS styles to your heart's content, and the {{quotation}} template: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Quotation
There's a nice example here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naturalistic_fallacy
It needs a bit of tweaking (named parameters are better for various reasons, and in some places you don't actually need the attribution because it precedes the quotation) but it seems to fit your bill.
