If you want to discuss this matter, you should probably take this to the real-life section maintenance
thread.
1. Is there a way to equalise the East/West table?
2. Since the page trope makes completely no sense, should it be removed? I thought the quote is supposed to be used as an example for the trope.
3. Does Eastern mean only Oriential dragons or includes non-Oriential (e.g. Persian) dragons? They have distinct differences. The Other Wiki categorises dragons into 'Europe', 'South and West Asia' and 'East Asia'.
4. "The longer the dragon, the more pairs of legs it has." I don't get it.

Late, late response, but I suspect it's because long is Chinese for "dragon."

Anybody think the quote & stinger are funny? I feel the page would be better off without them.
Let's just say and leave it at that.
I see no problem with them.

It's... witty, more or less. TVT likes witty.
It is sometimes an appropriate response to reality to go insane.
I don't think it's particularly funny, but it's definitely not hurting the page. Unless someone has a good quote that deserves the spot I don't see any reason to remove them.
Found a Youtube Channel with political stances you want to share? Hop on over to this page and add them.
The reason I asked is because I don't find them witty. That's one reason. The other reason is that they don't illustrate the trope. Our Dragons Are Different is about how there are many different ideas about how dragons look, behave, are etc. The only connection between the quote and the trope is that both contain "dragons".
The stinger tries very heavy-handedly to construct a connection between the quote and the trope. Doesn't work for me.
I have brought this up in the Page Quote Discussion Thread. Someone has suggested this:
This page should not be "No Real Life Examples", there are actually many creatures that can be called real life dragons, and also, many other fantastic creatures pages include real life examples, why does it have to be different to the dragons?
