Page Numbers for Quotations

The idea
When you quote, paraphrase or summarize, the Handbook's APA guidance is to give the page or pages where the material appeared.
In practice
Use p for a single page and p p for a range; for sources without pages, use a paragraph number or a section name.
Where people slip
A quotation without a page number leaves readers unable to locate it.
