Forum:Quotes

I think it's about time we create a guideline to what is a valid quote to include into an article.

I see a pile of character articles with junk at the bottom titled "Quotes". They feature random things the character has said which have very little relevance to the character.

On top of that, they are often edited. I see piles of random people coming adding useless quotes, but not editing anything of value in the wiki. Even worse, they change existing quotes. Which makes me doubt if some of those quotes are actual quotes. But rather a sentence twisted which isn't actually the same wording used by the character, likely improved by someone who thought it would sound better. ~ NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) current discussion Sep 1, 2008 @ 20:23 (UTC)


 * Yeah, they're pretty useless. But I don't think we can really find a universally working guideline, to whether or not a qute is relevant or not. I guess it's just too character-specific.
 * btw, I like how Wookieepedia has occasinal quotes about the characters in question within their articles, though. It somehow flows really nice. I'd somewhat like to see something like that here, too. Wakalaka 11:39, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
