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.

Technically it's only part of the quote. Here's the full thing:
The full quote doesn't sound like Hybrid Power. The existing Hybrid Power quote also suffers from potholing issues.
It seems like a pretty clear-cut example to me.
The What Beautiful Eyes! quote is way too long. There are a couple alternatives on the quote page. I think I like this one best:
I agree that the current quote should be changed (or outright removed), but comparing something visual (beauty / eyes) with something aural is rather weak, IMO. And that has to assume that everyone agrees that The Beatles = good. I prefer the Legend of Zelda quote.

I can get behind that. I just thought it was a little too rambly.

Reposting. Anymore thoughts on this?
The current quote for Acquired Poison Immunity is a bit too verbose and doesnt really explain the trope. How about this one as a replacement ?
Seems fine to me.
I fight for a "Jest" cause
Seems like a good quote, I would suggest putting the old page quote into the quote page.
Also Eviler than Thou page quote has been changed from the Joker in The Dark Knight (Can be found on the quote page) to a quote from Person of Interest. Is it a good fit (If it is I'll change the index) or should it be reverted?

The Rosers were red. The Drownies are blue. I know What the Thunder Said. Do you?
@5632: Maybe it could be shortened into: "Those wonderful eyes [...] I can't help it! I always follow his gorgeous gaze with my own. I blame his beautiful blue eyes. Ugh. This is all so strange..." (is it okay to remove middle segments of the quote like that?)
On a different note, Call a Smeerp a "Rabbit" has a quote that describes some sort of animal, but nowhere does it refer to the creature by its species name. Since the trope is about naming conventions, this should be changed. Maybe this from the subpage:

Reposting from the bottom of the last page:
New troper Flak Blast just changed the quote on "They've Come So Far" Song from this:
To this:
I asked them to stop by, but evidently they haven't yet.

Now a lurker. See you at the forums.
The first one seems better.
To win, you need to adapt, and to adapt, you need to be able to laugh away all the restraints. Everything holding you back.
How sweet it is
Yeah, I prefer the original one.

Film.Catwoman's quote is just "Me-Ouch" from a review.

Now a lurker. See you at the forums.
Change it. A review done by the actress would be funny.

I guess that's enough consensus to change the quote back to MLP.

I don't think the quote for Traumatic Haircut really illustrates the trope.

Tomodachi: A review from what actress? Halle Berry didn't review Catwoman, unless you count her Razzie acceptance speech for it, and I think putting a quote from that would constitute complaining.

That seems to imply Gag Haircut instead of the page it's on, since there's no indication that the haircut is forced upon the character. Remove.
I never noticed a warning regarding my editing privileges on TV Tropes. If I saw it, I can assure you that I would have stopped messing with the quote on the official page for Avengers: Endgame.
Filthy casual
The quotes on Artistic License - Astronomy and Conveniently Close Planet are pretty much the same quote from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Delete the second one?
(Annoyed grunt)
The quote of Ultimate Marvel is based on the Kids Versus Adults trope, which was hardly used. Genetic Engineering Is the New Nuke and Beware the Superman are more frequent tropes there, in all of their comics, and it is almost the imprint's trademark theme. So I propose this other one instead:
Migrated to Chloe Jessica!
the quote on Hidden Disdain Reveal... isn't a quote. well, it is, in that it's a cliché that's been said almost every time the trope comes into play. it's not attributed to anything.
i like this, but it may not be the best, since it's not directly referring to a character trait:
"And you know something else? I've never liked your spinach puffs! Never!" - Yzma, The Emperors New Groove
Migrated to Chloe Jessica!
Lord of the Blue Star
For the new trope Emissary from the Divine, which has a picture of Moses from Heston's version of The Ten Commandments, the caption of the picture I would suggest either of these lines from that movie:
"Go, proclaim liberty throughout the lands, unto all the inhabitants thereof!" or "Blasphemers! Idolaters! For this you shall drink bitter waters! God has set before you this day His Laws of Life and Good, and Death and Evil. Those who will not live by the Law... shall die by the Law!!"
The general quote I would suggest this line from the Dresden Files where a character wielding a Holy Sword of Faith has an Angel of the Lord use her as a mouthpiece to the ancient evil vampires.
"False gods! Pretenders! Usurpers of truth! Destroyers of faith, of families, of lives, of children! For your crimes against the Mayans, against the peoples of the world, now will you answer! Your time has come! Face judgment Almighty!"

Crown Description:
What should be the page quote for Monster.Fan Works?
Still needing input for the quotes in Little Sister Heroine / Brother–Sister Incest, Unfortunate Implications and Black-and-Grey Morality.
Conversely, the quote in Unfortunate Implications talk about the presence of unintentional subtexts in the work, but it's rather weak on the "unfortunate" aspect of it.
