I am writting a paper but it has been a while that I haven't written one. I am using quotes from an article and a video do you undeline the tittle of the article or put it in quotations and the same for the documentary? Are there any good websites helps you quote paragraphs?

You use quotation marks for every text you take from the book etc. At the bottom of the page you write where and whom you got the information from.

An article is a small work, usually a part of a larger work like a journal or magazine. So you put it in quotations.

However, a video is a large work, so you italicize it. (You only ever use underline if you can't italicize - e.g., you're handwriting or on an old typewriter.)

This is the general rule. Smaller works get quoted, larger works get italicized. For example:

Walt Whitman's poem "O Captain, My Captain" in his collection _Leaves of Grass_

The article "A Mathematical Theory of Communication" published by Claude Shannon in _Bell Systems Technical Journal_

"The Boy who Lived" is the first chapter of _Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone_

Nirvana's album _Nirvana_ contained "Smells like Teen Spirit"

The "Hallelujah" chorus in Handel's _Messiah_

The exception to the rule is that paintings and other things like videos, being fairly involved things on their own, are italicized, even though they don't contain subparts. Also, large and fairly complete parts in a set are italicized, and the set is italicized if it's a title:

_The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe_ is the first novel of Lewis' _The Chronicles of Narnia_

Michelangelo painted _The Last Judgment_ as part of the Sistine Chapel ceiling (Sistine Chapel is a place, and Sistine Chapel ceiling is a term, not a title, so write them normal)

I believe the first "...for Dummies" book was Gookin's _DOS for Dummies_ (quotes around "...for Dummies" are because it's a quotation of the title, not because it's a title itself)

Enclose them in a quotation mark and right after or at the bottom of the page , write the title and author of the article.

I plagiarize and take the credit
