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.

The quote in Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow is annoyingly hard to read due to the allcaps and extranuous letters. Barring a better suggestion, can it be removed?

It doesn't even seem like an example of the trope, which is specifically about flashbacks.
Industrious Incisors
The scene in which it occurs is a flashback, but I agree that’s not clear from the quote in a vacuum.
Maintenance?
Excellent. Choose that.
I removed the Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow quote. Looking at it again, it sounds like someone crying because their wig flew off, or something, but it doesn't really indicate that the character had hair before that.
Reposting from the previous two pages:
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.
I'm helping!
My arbitrary choices for that are
Goku: [laughing weakly] I... never really learned how to...
Sure to the second one, not really feeling the first. It looks like before johnnyfog changed it, the quote was:
If that has too much overlap with "The Reason You Suck" Speech, my choices from skimming through the quotes page are:
Rei:"Few details. Only that everything he had worked towards and everything he had put myself and his only son through had been for nothing, and that he would die alone and unmourned, rejected by the only person he had ever truly loved."
I actually think the current quote is pretty good. It was changed to that on Feb 23rd 2014. When was johnnyfog first banned? If it was after that date, then the quote doesn't need to be removed on principle, does it?

To the choice for Determinator
Of all the suggestions you gave I lean towards the quote from "Doing it right this time".
Got some suggestions for Bullying the Disabled, which I hope unlike the last quote will convey the bullying of a character because of their disability. Other suggestions are welcomed.
AG: Apologiiiiiiiize!!!!!!!!
AG: Say you're sorry for being a cripple! Wheeeeeeee!
AG: Aaaaaaaahahahahahahahaha!
AG: For 8eing crippled, you ass!
AT: yOU WANT ME TO APOLOGIZE,
AT: fOR BEING PARALYZED,
AG: Yes.
AG: Say you're sorry.
AG: This is getting frustrating.
AG: Why did I have to get stuck with the cripple? Just my luck.

The Rosers were red. The Drownies are blue. I know What the Thunder Said. Do you?
On Luke, You Are My Father, this is the page quote:
Greyfarn (Farnsworth): She said he was a foul He-demon.
Ignus: Exactly. You are my father.
Greyfarn: No. No, that's impossible.
Ignus: Search your feelings. You know it to be true.
Greyfarn: No, no!
Ignus: Yah-hah. I heard Mommy say so.
Is it possible to shorten this to:
Greyfarn (Farnsworth): She said he was a foul He-demon.
Ignus: Exactly. You are my father.

The quote for Strong Ants does not really illustrate how exactly the ants are strong. Instead, it appears to emphasize their meanness and love for trouble. I suggest we replace it with a quote that actually puts emphasis on how they are strong.
Here's my suggestion for a new quote:
Leif: Ants are extremely strong, are we right?
Kabbu: Indeed. Objects even I would find heavy are quite manageable for them.
Leif: Then, this job must be like child's play to them.
Vi: This went from worst job to best job pretty quick...If you're an ant, at least.

Vi: Well, it's not like we're getting attacked by a giant wasp spider guardian! | Leif: Never combine those words ever again.

Swapped in the quote for Meat Versus Veggies, as brought up previously.
(x5)
(x6) I vote for the first one.
Thanks, I've shortened the quote.
If my post doesn't mention a giant flying sperm whale with oversized teeth and lionfish fins for flippers, it just isn't worth reading.

Our Nudity Is Different and Old-Timey Ankle Taboo have the same quote. I think it works better on the latter. Only the Revenant Gun quote on Quotes.Our Nudity Is Different seems short enough for the page.

The quote on Big Ol' Eyebrows tells us nothing about the size of the brows. I much prefer one of these two quotes from the Quotes page. Which do you prefer?
The first one is the one that's most explicitly about eyebrows if read in a fast, casual way. When in doubt, go for the sledgehammer. ![[lol]](https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lol2v12_4863.png "[lol]"){kind=small}

I was thinking about a quote for Love Overrides the Law. Specifically, the following exchange from Brooklyn 99 - "Unsolvable":
- Det. Jake Peralta: Now I'm telling my friend about how you killed that guy.
Spoiler Murderer: It was for love!
Det. Jake Peralta: Cool motive, still murder.—Brooklyn 99 doesn't condone this trope

- Fly, robin, fly! - ...I'm trying!
A straight or lampshaded example would be better for illustration.
Got it.

The Giant Animal Worship appears to be a recent trope that still lacks a quote, I think this one sums the trope pretty well:
