It actually depends whether the quote contains the entirety of the question or if the sentence containing the quote also is a question.

The Economist regularly places end punctuation outside the quotation marks. It drives me nuts. Clearly, it’s an alternate convention, not an error (because it’s consistent). But I hate it.

Just like with dildos, anything can be an alternate convention if you're brave enough.

You probably insist on using Oxford commas too.
