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/).
Image captions are discussed elsewhere and have their own thread
in the Image Pickin' forum.

I think you misunderstood the trope. Bad Luck Charm is about an item, not a person. The 1st quote fits the Born Unlucky trope, while the 2nd quote fits The Jinx more, and funnily enough, the 3rd one is already in The Jinx page.

Don't expect much.Not an issue with the quote as such, but if memory serves the current page quote on Shockingly Expensive Bill is not articulated by the character, even though it appears in the work. I am not sure how to format it, though.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanIn regards to that Loki debate...yeah, I kinda was the one who added the one quote Mobius says in the trailer during the pre-release section of the series. The initial page quote was a duplicate of what was the bottom page quote at the time, and it seemed to describe the series well enough. I do agree that things are moving around too much to really make a final decision at the moment, so I have little input in this discussion.

concerning UsefulNotes.Xbox.

Septimus Heap, How does it appear? Like is it through narration? If so, maybe add — Septimus Heap's narrator. If not then, insert the chapter/book's title this quote is from.

Suddenly I'm... still rotating Fallen London in my mind even though I've stopped actively playing it.
I'm fond of this one from the quotes page:
Edit: this one is a bit long, but might sum up the 'not allowed to win lest the show end' aspect of the trope a bit better:

Nah, I like the second quote more, but a quote from a Genre Savvy character would be great too.
Last week, this was added to NightmareFuel.Cuphead:
This is reposted from the "Needless References to Reviewers" cleanup thread.
Cone of Shame just got a new pic and it's from the same source as the current page quote. There's been some suggestion to use the quote as the image's caption, so we probably need to find a new page quote. The first line from the subpage might work?
++ on moving the current Cone of Shame quote to the caption; no opinion on the suggested replacement.
Suddenly I'm... still rotating Fallen London in my mind even though I've stopped actively playing it.The suggestion for Xbox seems fine, since nobody has suggested anything else.
Regarding Loki, my favourite is still the "I'm Miss Minutes" suggestion. It's evocative, gives you some sense of the theme if you don't know the show, but not too expositiony or spoilery.
We seem to have had a lot of opinions on that one, has there really been no consensus yet?

Following up on Loki, as far as I can see we've had:
- 2 votes for "Miss Minutes" (myself & Asherinka)
- 2 votes (but also several downvotes) for "you picked up the Tesseract" (Discar & Adept)
- 1 vote for "someplace to talk" (Minister)
- 1 vote for "glorious purpose" (HMSquared)
Anyone who's yet to state a preference want to help tip the scales?

Circle of Standing Stones has quite a dull and vaguely complainy CinemaSins quote, "Discount Stonehenge" (yes, that's the whole thing).
Suggest the following:
It's a narrower neck of land
Where weird and grim the standing stones
In a circle there they stand.

I found a good quote for Vortex Barrier. Do you mind if I add this in?
For context for those of you who haven't played the game, the Electro Archon Baal, also known as the Raiden Shogun, uses her Weather Manipulation abilities to close the nation of Inazuma behind a barrier of wind and rain, and I feel this quote sums it up perfectly.

I wanted to propose a quote for Bad Luck Charm and I have three ideas, from RWBY.
