Answer 6

Hey! Next time, try to use one question per post to not make people feel overwhelmed. :P

It seems all these questions are related to quotation marks and italicization in titles. So remember this:

"A book title is italicized, and chapter titles (but not chapter numbers) are in quotation marks. A TV show title is italicized, but episode titles are in quotation marks. An album or CD title is put in italics, but the song titles are in quotation marks."

Answer 7

And also, something else. Although book titles are italicized, short stories are put in quotation marks.

It's great that @kewlgeek555 contributed to extremely valuable information, which should enable you to answer all those questions. After having completed the answers based on the above information, or the original article, which I believe is at :
http://theeditorsblog.net/2014/05/12/marking-text-choosing-between-italics-and-quotation-marks/
you can post your answers for a second opinion if you wish.

It would be nice if helpers who quote articles indicate the source so that askers can benefit even more from the help.

Answer 15

@Vocaloid and @mathmate Thank you! And, I'll make sure next time to post the article instead of quote it. :P

A quote is perfect. Many users stay away from links for fear that they are hard to understand or long to read. \(Some\) would want to dig further for certain details, where the original article comes in handy. You posted an excellent excerpt!
