General Page Quote Discussion:

@ReynTime: It was done by a troper who (at the time) apparently had a problem with the idea of consensus. I'd say feel free to revert it back, unless someone has an objection.

For Not Hyperbole, suggest this from the quote page:

Are All Blue Entries on a Quotes page allowed? Quotes.Atop The Fourth Wall has one of those.

I like it :)

- Spoilery though? Given how its entry on the page has spoilerboxes in it...

the quote itself isn't spoilery at all, in itself

- Then I approve of the quote.

It was on the page for a long time. Looking at the history, it was changed over two years ago with no reason given.

@lalalei2001: The description for All Blue Entry doesn't say "don't do that except in certain areas", so on general principle I'd say to un-blue (so to speak) that entry.

Proposition to swap out the current page quote of Beauty Is Best for the Trump one its quote page. I think it's more accurate to the trope, as it outright says that it really is beauty society considers best, whereas the current could be read as saying that women just always need to be beautiful. Also, it's funny because the President said it.

I'm fine with that quote change, FWIW.

On Characters.The Avengers Earths Mightiest Heroes Season One Antagonists, some of the folders have more than one quote above the bio.

On Evil All Along:

Spoiler tags in the page quote... seriously?

Do we just remove the spoiler tags, or do the quote just not fit and should be removed altogether?

Evil All Along — Delete page quote: it doesn't do anything to demonstrate the trope.

Yeah, that makes no sense without knowing the context of the dialogue. Pulled.

Nobody's That Dumb: This seems overly long. Also it had a hottip that I don't think it was relying on for needed context but maybe someone who doesn't already know what it said should confirm/deny that.

e: Personally I think we could trim it to

and it that would be fine.

Got Nobody's That Dumb.

Conversational Troping's quote seems more like Discussed Trope, as it's not idle chatter, but actually relates to the situation at hand?

I agree with your analysis.

Not sure whether it is necessary to post here for this but I will to make sure.

I am thinking of changing the current quote on the Necromunda page from the current rather bland one:

To one from the first page of the latest rulebook:

Would this be okay?

- Move it over then and replace with this?

The Presidents have multiple quotes. I figured we could go over the quotes for each president and decide on which ones to keep:

• James Monroe

• Martin Van Buren

• John Tyler

• James Buchanan

• Andrew Johnson

• Ulysses S. Grant

• James Garfield

• Benjamin Harrison

• Herbert Hoover

In general I think it's better to go with quotes the president in question actually said for those pages. I'd be willing to make an exception for the "Meanwhile, James Buchanan did nothing" one, since it's just such a pithy summary of his place (or lack thereof) in history, but I'm not passionate about it.

I agree, go with their actual quotes if possible. For Monroe and Van Buren, I prefer the Jonathan Coulton and The Critic quotes.

I love the irony of the first Garfield quote.
