General Page Quote Discussion:

,I agree. Lets put it back to the older quote.

The quote for Yes-Man is way too long for such an easy concept to illustrate. I much prefer one of these from the Quotes page:

Does this belong in Armed with Canon? I'm looking at Ken Penders quotes. The quote is of Penders after he left the comic series, so disapproval of god is a thing, but

“I especially don’t consider anything either does with any of the echidna characters – especially Locke – to be canon as neither created the characters nor established them in stories as the viable fan favorites they’ve become. No matter what Ian writes, he can never alter the fact that in MY universe, the events of Locke’s passing as depicted in SONIC #143 is canon. Anything he writes can easily be counter-written by a better story with an alternative solution."

The first suggestion is not that much concise than the current. I think the current can be shortened to just the last three sentences.

The page quotes for Thundering Herd and Animal Stampede are the same, from Jumanji. Since it's about animals, it fits Animal Stampede better. Can I remove it from Thundering Herd?

I don't think it's a good quote for either page; it's too zero-context. If someone doesn't know Jumanji, that quote could be referring to anything.

I don't know of a good quote for Thundering Herd. The Lion King would be a good one for Animal Stampede, but I'm guessing it's not being used because the page image is from the same work.

Shortened Yes-Man quote.

Since there's no opposition, I shall add Penders quote then.

From Quotes.A Nazi By Any Other Name:

Bobble the Clown: How many, hee hee hee, how many entities were swallowed by Site-13? You silly silly out of place boy. Silly little boy. Everything made its way into Site-13. If the Foundation could find it and the Coalition could catch it, it was fed into the meat grinder down here. Everything. They mulched us all, if there was nothing to gain. Some got lucky. Bobble got lucky. Stuffed in a funny box and played with. Toyed with. Experimented with. To see what sounds we made when we wanted to die. Others were not so lucky. They burned the Library, you know. Held it upside down like a can of soup and let the contents run out into the furnace, and burned the whole place up. They did other things, too.
AP-3 Ross: What worse things?
Bobble the Clown: Every worse thing.

— SCP-1730, SCP Foundation

The quote on Video-Game Lives is rather hostile to the trope. Should I go ahead and remove it?

Unsurprising, coming from Zero Punctuation. I support the removal.

What's the problem? Main page quote is fine, there's nothing to worry about. Length isn't a problem on quotes pages, and those could pass (barely) as main page quotes anyway.

Another vote to remove, though not seeing any possible replacements.

Would either of these work for Beast in the Maze?

I don't know about "Could Have Avoided This!" Plot main quote.

I feel like this one is better in my opinion.

The first quote seems fine to me. If we did use the second, I'd drop the "Was it?"

I'm for keeping the original. Also, this is the third time you've proposed a quote change without defining anything wrong with the original. It's starting to look like you just want to change the works getting exposure.

Welp, Pass the Popcorn's current quote does nothing to illustrate how the trope happens.

Any suitable replacements?

I like the Fallout 4 quote from the quotes page.

I like the Ed, Edd, n' Eddy quote, personally.

Does the quote attribution on Acronym and Abbreviation Overload really need all that extra context? We can just stick with the names of the singer and song.

Not to mention the "Have Fun!" at the end seems unnecessary and, dare I say, jerkish.

I have a quote suggestion for Fantastic Vermin:

EDIT: No feedback for a day; I'll just add it.

I might have brought this up already but I think Mario Kart could use a new quote, if it actually needs one at all. Currently the quote is "Welcome to Mario Kart!", which says pretty much nothing about what Mario Kart actually is.

I don’t think that quote is a problem; quotes for works don’t need to describe what they’re about.

Ivy League for Everyone’s quote is the same as the film it’s from.

I think the quote for Older Hero vs. Younger Villain is a little low accuracy. This might work better:
