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.

I propose swapping the quote on One Extra Member with this shorter one:
See-More: [uncertain] 'Cause...it sounds...cooler?
The not-so-great American Patriot
I want to change the main "The Reason You Suck" Speech quotes into a new one.

It's better than the current, so ![[tup]](https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Thumbs_up_emoticon_3268.png "[thumb up]"){kind=small}
from me.

Also, looking to add this in "Could Have Avoided This!" Plot main quote.

If it has to have a spoiler tag, it doesn’t belong above the examples line.
And as for , it doesn’t seem enough of an improvement (or really, an improvement at all) over the current quote to need a switch.
punch things and hearts come out!!
It seems they had already changed the quote on "The Reason You Suck" Speech, despite the new quote violating our spoiler policy. Reverted that.
I can go either way on "Could Have Avoided This!" Plot.
clearly things are going well.
Monstress has two quotes. I like Kippa's more.

Swapped the quote on One Extra Member.
The quote on Magical Girl Genre Deconstruction is complaining about the Magical Girl genre.

Quote was added by ~Atticus Omundson on the 1st of this month. Considering it doesn't even describe the trope in addition to being complaining, remove it.
Added it with the intention of having it humorously describe the common mindset behind why the Magical Girl genre has had such a massive deconstruction wave recently, but I suppose without proper context it does just come off as complaining. Will remove.

I believe that the quote-list of The Last Days of Foxhound is in desperate need for trimming. I mean, does it really warrant over 80 different quotes? Some of the quotes are actually lines from the games themselves that the comic has quoted. I propose that we should trim the page down to at least the following 6 quotes.
Liquid: Oh, please. Who sneaks around disguised as a box? That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard.
Cardboard box: This one is strong.
Octopus (thinking): I'm a dead man.
Solidus: Yes.
Ocelot: At the exact same time that we're testing an impossibly powerful nuclear weapon. In secret.
Solidus: And?
Ocelot: Can I hug you?
Ocelot: Practice.

At the least, all the quotes that don't come from the comic itself should be cut, unless it's adding something to them.
Most of the quotes on Quotes.One True Threesome seem to be Polyamory instead, as it's referring In-Universe stuff. I also don't really understand the How I Met Your Mother quote on that page, either.

Now a lurker. See you at the forums.
How about this speech from Wreck it Ralph for Necessarily Evil?
Zangief : I relate to you, Ralph. When I hit bottom, I was crushing man's skull like sparrow's egg, between my thighs... and I think, why you have to be so bad, Zangief? Why can't you be more like good guy? Then I have moment of clarity... if Zangief is good guy, who will crush man's skull like sparrow's eggs between thighs? And I say, Zangief you are bad guy, but this does not mean you are *bad* guy.

Perfect! So can I put it on the article?

As the Good Book Says... has a quote that's basically just restating the trope name. I'd like to replace it with this one:
Batou: Psalms 139, Old Testament. The way you spout these spontaneous exotic references, I'd say your own external memory's pretty twisted.
10,000 grams of pure caffeine
The page quote for Added Alliterative Appeal is too long. 49 V words isn't necessary for a pagequote, isn't it?
Cassie | he/they | But will it stop the pain forever? / I just can't be sure
The page quote for Floating in a Bubble was recently changed from
to this:
(sic)
Should we do something about this? Because I don't think the new quote illustrates the trope that well compared to the old one.

Old one is better. I'd say revert.

The quote for Morph Weapon, in addition to being long, doesn't actually indicate the weapons she's talking about are morphing into each other. Permission to remove?
