If a question on Y!A asks for page numbers, should you skip the question or answer it?
It is very common to find a question which asks for both a quotation and the page on which it occurs. This implies that there is only one edition of the book in question–one sold for use in school–and suggests that a student wishes you to save him or her the trouble of reading the book for themselves. Is it unreasonable to decline to furnish page numbers?

I think it's situationally dependent. Personally, if it appears to me as though the student is asking for someone to do their work for them, or if it is even possible, (I just wanted it checked!) then I wouldn't answer, or would answer in a general way and decline to respond with specifics. However, I'm also an honest person and don't believe in doing work for students :D so that's just me.
