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.

Agree to change
Welcome, traveller, welcome to Omsk
Since I've seen no objections, I moved the quote on Wacky Racing to the image caption. Feel free to propose a new quote if you find something good.

So we want a crowner for GTA?

I think creating a crowner would be a good idea, since there isn't any real consensus on the quote yet and we have a lot of suggestions, both from the Complete Monster Proposal Thread alongside two suggestions from this thread.
Here's all the suggested quotes for the Grand Theft Auto page so far btw:

Yeah, definitely a crowner.
Also, speaking of CM...Ace Attorney fan works will be getting its own page, so we cool with using the quote at Fan Games and replacing it with this (the game it's from is a crossover, so it's fine)?

Making a crowner, but italics and bold are glitched and I have no idea why some entries look fine and others do not.
I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.

Blowup has two page quotes. The second one is better, IMO, being more thematic and from the film proper.

"Cool. Coolcoolcool."
Keep the second and remove the first.
Man in the Yellow Hat
I got rid of the first quote on that page.
The current on Man, I Feel Like a Woman is the quote equivalent of a zero-context example. Here's a replacement from the quotes page:
Am I a weirdo?
On top of being more illustrative, it also has the advantage of being funnier.
Okay, here are the suggested quotes for the Monster: New Tricks:
Which do you think is better? Or do you not like either of them?

I think I like the one on Ricky a little better.
Do we wanna call the GTA quote?

From 'Ell's 'eart Oi stab at ye!
Minor thing, but according to the formatting rules, colons go inside the bold commas.
Unofficial Wiki Curator for Complete Monster
Oh, nevermind calling it. Seems like Dmitri's quote's getting a few more votes.

"Cool. Coolcoolcool."
Yeah. I say way a few more days. This could go either way right now.

Speaking of CM page quotes, besides us needing to decide on the one for New Tricks, here's one someone brought up that I think works better for Monster.Star Wars than the current:
But the Emperor — well, I don't know all the details, but who does of the Sith? — is an independent agent who just lives for the exercise of power. He doesn't know what scruples are, let alone have any. The only emotion that manifests itself truly is the one seen just before he meets his end, if that's what he meets, in Jedi — and then that's pure anger, when he realizes that he hasn't succeeded in manipulating young Skywalker. So he has to kill him, and he tries to do that with unadulterated fury.
The quote for Fictionary... seems to be complaining about the trope?
"T'u gadapmagazin imhat pimushikimp'alha. K'animhat t'u k'ak'ujvn kimkap'akilteĭmvmpüca."
Agreed, I think that can be pulled.
Welcome, traveller, welcome to Omsk
Not that simple. While the quote isn't attributed to the author (I assume "Oswin Errol" is the character speaking), it's from the writings of J. R. R. Tolkien himself, meaning that it's Self-Deprecating Humor more than anything.
I'm sure a more descriptive quote could be found, but "complaining" doesn't seem like a valid reason for cutting.

I think it works better too.
Discombobulate.
