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.

Sleazy Politician: I like the first quote better, because it's more directly-to-the-point regarding the trope.
You Wanna Get Sued?: I actually like the Game of Gods quote from the quotes page best. I generally prefer not to have the page namer also be the quote, to avoid redundancy (plus, that quote's confusing if you're not familiar with The Shining), and the second quote is entirely unclear about the reasons for the censoring.

Sleazy Politician quote then. I'll also fix the You Wanna Get Sued? quote.
Made the Sleazy Politician quotes page.

The Penance has a pretty lengthy quote that's longer than description itself. Should it be shortened somehow or should there be a new one?
Macron's notes
I do not even see how it's relevant. Cull it.

Hi
Way too long, although it's one of the page examples, of the "imposed" variety. Kill it.
The quote for Creepy Gas-Station Attendant is a tad on the long side. It's a good summary of this trope, but it's the same size as the actual description.
Problematic, or no?
You've got roaming bands of armed, aggressive, tyrannical plumbers coming to your door, saying "Use our service, or else!"
Too long. We can probably cut the beginning off, since it's just talking about Real Life.

->".... the only gas station in the world is located on a desolate road in a godforsaken backwater. It is staffed by a degenerate who shuffles out in his coveralls and runs through a disgusting repertory of scratchings, spittings, chewings, twitchings and leerings, while thoughtfully shifting mucus up and down his throat."
Like this?

Aye.

Checkpoint Starvation has two quotes. Which one should we keep?
Hi
I'd be good with either, although I lean toward the latter.
There is no Planet B
I like the one from cracked.com.
No, the other one.
Yeah.
Check out my fanfiction!

Dark Is Evil has two quotes,which one should we keep?
New theme music also a box
I tend towards the second, since it has a rhyme and the first is a bit indirect.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard Feynman
Although the forced rhyme in the second one made me wince, I think it is a clearer quote for the page.
Hi
I don't have a preference between them.
Trans Siberian Anarchestra (it/they)
I lean toward the second.
The Revolution Will Not Be Tropeable
Mummy Woomy
Leaning to the second one too.
Duct Tape for Everything has two quotes. I can't say I like one of those quotes over the other.
"Yeah, it's a shame. Here we are in an underground cave with all these lasers, and instead of having a rave we're using it for evil."
Am I a weirdo?
That page has come here before. The first quote was chosen by the consensus of this thread, and it's certainly still the better one. The second quote can be moved to the quotes page.
Bigotry will NEVER be welcome on TV Tropes.
You Wanna Get Sued? has two quotes which is weird since it has a quotes page. I say we keep the trope namer in there.
