This thread is for general discussion of page quotes, whether to change, move or remove them.
Unused quotes should be put on a Quotes Wiki page (just replace the namespace in the URL of the wiki page you are making a quotes page for with Quotes/) or, if they don't have an article, on Quotes Looking for an Article.
Image captions are discussed elsewhere and have their own thread in the Image Pickin' forum.

I think I fixed it.
If a tree falls in the forest and nobody remembers it, who else will you have ice cream with?I think it works.
I was going to put the quote in and put Yahtzee's in the Quote page, but the preview kept giving me a formatting error on the attribution line.
If a tree falls in the forest and nobody remembers it, who else will you have ice cream with?Well it was apparently resolved.
The quote on Future Slang isn'tt really informing the trope. This one is kind of spoofing it, but still helping to explain it:
- Teen in a flying car: "What the shock is that?"
- Linkara: Ah, it's always fun when we try to predict future slang words.
- 90s Kid, from the year 2099: This comic is totally 'rodolicious'!

I'm on the internet. My arguments are invalid.^ Sorry, I don't think that's an improvement.
I am not a fan of the quote on Interplay of Sex and Violence. It relies on the context in the quotee line. What about this quote from the quotes page?
"It was impossible not to see that the love scenes were filmed like murder scenes, and the murder scenes like love scenes... It occurred to me that in Hitchcock's cinema... to make love and to die are one and the same."
— Francois Truffaut, on Alfred Hitchcock

Can you give a reason why?
I'm on the internet. My arguments are invalid.I altered the quote on Remember the New Guy? to the version we agreed on and removed the pothole.
I'm not a fan of the AT4W quote either. Something about it just doesn't work for me, but I can't put my finger on it.

If a tree falls in the forest and nobody remembers it, who else will you have ice cream with?What if I just did the first two lines? The 90s Kid quote may be redundant.
I'm on the internet. My arguments are invalid.That may work, but I'm still unsure.
If a tree falls in the forest and nobody remembers it, who else will you have ice cream with?Maybe cut out the first line instead? I know what you mean that its current form is too much. I'm just trying to see if it can work.
EDIT: Also tweaked the third line to help the context.

I'm on the internet. My arguments are invalid.Since there's already a page image to illustrate it, I don't think a quote like the one you suggested is necessary since it's a bit redundant. I like this one from the quote page.

If a tree falls in the forest and nobody remembers it, who else will you have ice cream with?That is a good one, though I don't see how the page image shows the trope well (whatever).
I'm on the internet. My arguments are invalid.So does anyone have a good quote for Horrible.Anime And Manga?

Now known as Cyber ControllerDo those types of pages even need quotes?
If a tree falls in the forest and nobody remembers it, who else will you have ice cream with?Most of the other pages have at least one quote.
Now known as Cyber ControllerCatch and Return's page quote references a scene that does qualify for the trope, but without the context (which would be kind of ugly to provide for a page quote, as it's easily much longer than the Bond One-Liner that's the current quote) the line is completely useless as an illustration of the trope.
Off the top of my head, I don't have any suggestions, however, as I'm kind of distracted by fixing 500-odd Bioshock wicks.

I like 3863.
Numbered Sequels has two quotes, which one should go?

I don't understand the second one.
Becky: Who are you? The Mysterious Stranger: An angel. Huck: What's your name? The Mysterious Stranger: Satan.Can't say either of the current ones thrill me, but if pressed I'd say keep the Airplane! quote. Never mind that I'm not keen on Wheaton in general, IMO the second quote doesn't really illustrate the trope.

All your safe space are belong to TrumpNot a fan of either quote. Since it's a work title trope, I think the page works fine without any quote.
If a tree falls in the forest and nobody remembers it, who else will you have ice cream with?Two quotes on No Intelligent Life Here. The second one sounds lame.

What should be the page quote for Monster.Fan Works?
Looks good, but the work link should be on the line for the works. And the character name should be The Dark Id (as Leon):.
