General Page Quote Discussion:

The only quote on Quotes.The Cavalry Arrives Late sounds more like You Are Too Late.

Reposting from the previous page:

Both of the page quotes for Breaking Them By Talking and Determinator were added by frequent ban-evader Johnnyfog, are there any examples from their respective quote pages that would make acceptable substitutes.

Isn't the quote on One True Threesome more fitting for Polyamory, since it's in the work itself?

Pretty sure the former quote is an entire video, anyway.

The quote on Interpol Special Agent is just about police doing more office work than people expect, which isn't what the trope is about.

Crying Indian's quote is unsourced.

got lead here from a reply to my query in the Ask The Tropers forum.

are there any rules when it comes to quotes pages? like length limit, where the quotes should come from, and the like.

would also love a review of this quotes page me and some other people are working on. really needs a lot of work imo.

thank you

Dream SMP contributor here, I added quotes regarding episodes outside of major overarching plots, is that okay?

I added:

• Fundy's Dreamon Slayer intro
• Hbomb's intro to him playing the role of Fundy's maid for 24 hours
• Tommy getting Pigstep from Hbomb

Can this interaction be added to Static Character? It's from IDW Sonic the hedgehog. It's a Mythology Gag to a song from one of the games, but I believe it shows the characters philosophies well.

Eggman: You know. We're not so different, you and I. We both have our own styles that we won't change.
Sonic: Yeah, but yours is evil and mine not!
Eggman: Again - agree to disagree.

I like that, but lose the pothole.

Any more thoughts on these suggestions for Meat Versus Veggies? Otherwise I'll just swap in the second one, since one person expressed a preference for that one.

For Pet Heir, I am not sure which is a better quote:

or

-The Aristocats

For the second one, maybe cut the first line by Madam if it is too long.

I'm inclined to go with the first one due to being shorter, with the second being put on a quotes page.

Got a suggestion here for Faction-Specific Endings from Miracle of Sound about Fallout: New Vegas. Looking for feedback or other suggestions before I do anything with it.

I like that quote.

May I remove the Interpol Special Agent quote for not being about the trope?

go for it.

I second removing it for having nothing to do with the trope.

Just to follow up on my suggestion, the part of the song and the tune in general is not specifically about the ending of F: NV but about the game in general. Still think it's a strong contender for either the FSE or Alliance Meter.

EDIT: Another suggestion, this time for Deadly Bath.

The page quote for Sudden Downer Ending was added by frequent ban-evader Johnnyfog, is there anything on the quotes page that would make an acceptable substitute?

I like the South Park quote.

And I've changed the quote.

The page quote on Resident Evil seems like a complaint. Would one from its quotes page work?

The first one is the only one that remotely seems to work.

Meat Versus Veggies has two quotes.

Ah, I somehow missed that.

Yes, it's been brought up.

Chained to a Bed and Double Standard Rape: Female on Male have the exact same page quote.

I feel the quote works a lot better for the latter, since it's directly pointing out the double standard. However, I can't think of a good alternative for Chained to a Bed. Anyone got any suggestions?

I feel like that'd be an easier question to answer if it was 100 percent obvious what Chained to a Bed was beyond the literal, which I've never been clear on.
