[Data-modeling] Add page number(s) to "Quotation"

[Mohammad Al-Ubaydli]

Dear Ed (if I may),
I agree with you.

Two quickie notes. First, the alternative to "Author" is "Quotee". I'm not
sure if that's a word, but it does clearly indicated "Quoted person" rather
than "Person who is quoting". Also, make sure that page number is not
actually a number as the front-matter of a book is often numbered using
roman numerals, e.g. "iii".

Best,
mohammad
