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.

Hi

Agreed.
Potential replacement for the Casual Danger Dialog page:
Iron Fist (mid-battle): Awww... is this one of those 'witty banter' teams?
Spider Man: Yeah.
Iron Fist: I hate banter.
Luke Cage: You're doing banter.

Also agreed.
I think I like either the Turn Coat or the Batman The Brave and the Bold quote from the Quotes tab better.
Don't really care for the Turn Coat one, but Brave and the Bold is very funny. The reason I like the New Avengers one, though, is because it's Casual Danger Dialog about Casual Danger Dialog. Seems more fitting than simply a good example, you know?

Hi
I like it as well.
"In distress", my ass.
With proper namespacing for the character potholes/wicks (Comicbook.Immortal Iron Fist, Comicbook.Spider Man, Luke Cage Hero For Hire), #1152 works well for me and my admittedly somewhat skewed sense of humor, as well.

Since White-Haired Pretty Girl has been renamed to Mystical White Hair, the quote doesn't fit the trope anymore. It just says the hair is beautiful.
Macron's notes
Comparing it to starlight sounds mystical so I think we should keep it unless someone has a better one.
Well, for the time being I'm going to move Casual Danger Dialog's quote to Major Injury Underreaction, since no one seems to have an issue with that move.

Hi
I think I'd rather cull the quote...doesn't sound all that mystical to me, just pretty.
Potential quote for Tangled Family Tree:
To Ser Loras: Their son will be your nephew after you're wed to Cercei. And you will be the King's stepfather and brother-in-law. To Margaery: When you marry the king, Joffrey's mother will become your sister-in-law and your son wil be Loras' nephew, grandson? But your brother will become your father-in-law. That much is beyond dispute.

Fool for Love has two quotes,I'm going to suggest the bottom one.

Hi
I like it.
Agreed.
Have you seen pages like Chewing the Scenery and Catchphrase? Those pages pretty much have quotes for every example. Should the quotes on those pages be moved to the corresponding Quotes pages?
Oh, Equestria, we stand on guard for thee!
No. Why would you?
I mean, there's nothing wrong with having them on the quotes page in addition to the subpages, but they aren't doing any harm where they are.

Yeah, the "one quote per page" specifically means a header quote. Quotes in the examples are fine.

Plus, for many of them, describing the example results in a lackluster paraphrase of the quote. If the quote makes for a better example, it makes no sense to move it.
If no one objects, I'm going to add the New Avengers quote to Casual Danger Dialog.

"In distress", my ass.
^ Like I said here I'm fine with using that quote. Just remember the proper namespacing when you do finally make the change. 
That Was Objectionable uses the Trope Namer as its quote. I suggest using the Liar Liar quote instead, possibly with the last two lines removed, or even with an ellipsis between the first and third line.
EDIT: Formatting, blargh.

"In distress", my ass.
Hmm. Current quote for That Was Objectionable is compliant with Brevity Is Wit, but I agree that the other one illustrates the trope better.
[edit] I could see the whole quote go in, but if you want to be brief about it the last two lines can be excised without harming the illustration of the trope.

I think the Liar, Liar quote is short enough that we can use the whole thing. It's not required, sure, but emphasizes that the idea that the lawyer really has no basis for the objection.
No, the other one.
I think the Trope Namer quotation on That Was Objectionable is a good example of the trope, but the Liar Liar quotation describes the trope much better, which I believe is better for the page. If really necessary, you can probably cut the two last lines. I don't think it is, though.

Check out my fanfiction!
- Fletcher: Your Honor, I object!
- Judge: And why is that, Mr. Reede?
- Fletcher: Because it's devastating to my case!
Is perfect.
