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

Possible replacement quotes from the quote pages:
I can't cope with all her heart-tugging
It makes me want to scream and shout
I really like the suggestion for Designated Hero. A lot more consice in my opinion.
The Glurge one, I have to admit that I actually prefer the current one despite the background behind it.
I'm kind of neutral to Take That, Scrappy!, although the current one is not good, so is an improvement, I guess.
Agreed on Designated Hero and Glurge. I don't like either of the Take That, Scrappy! quotes personally.

Works That Require Cleanup of Complaining | Troper WallThe Designated Hero quote is from the same source as the page image, which we want to avoid.
I prefer the new Take That, Scrappy! quote for being a more obvious audience reaction.
I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.Double post: No Equal-Opportunity Time Travel has two page quotes — the first time I've seen that happen in a while!
I could go with either one, though I'm biased towards the Amber Ruffin quote since I like her more.
I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.Akumetsu has two quotes. Not familiar with the work, but I'm inclined to prefer the second one.
Someone changed the page quote on Glurge because the original was "added by frequent ban-evader Johnnyfog".

Current quote:
I can't cope with all her heart-tugging
It makes me want to scream and shout
I like the previous one more because it emphasizes the conniving aspects of Glurge, while the new one is close to a description of Sweetness Aversion. Should it really be off the table because it was initially added by a ban evader? Do other people think the replacement is better anyway?

Sorry, I missed it.

The Gobbledy Gooker has two page quotes. I prefer the longer one for providing more context.
I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.HoYay.Ace Attorney has three quotes. Any one will do; I prefer the first.
first is the best, and honestly i could live with trimming it to just the first line
would it be okay to move the quote on Monochromatic Eyes to Prophet Eyes, since it seems to describe that trope better than Prophet Eyes' current?

Doing the Ace Attorney change, and support the Prophet Eyes move.

The quote in the lead of Breakaway Pop Hit doesn't seem to describe that trope. The laconic for the trope is "Extremely popular song from a movie nobody remembers," but the quote specifically says "I walk into clothing stores (although not often) and they're STILL playing "Somewhere Out There" on radio stations. And every time they do, I think of Fievel Mouskewitz because I can't help it." which means there's an association with the song to the film by whoever the quote is from.
The quote looks to have been added in 2019 with no discussion that I can find. Should it be replaced with something else.

Yes. I've brought this up before to Anddrix, since they keep making these posts objecting to any quotes added by johnnyfog even when they're from his original account and actually work, but they've never responded. I'm not actually convinced the Glurge quote is that great, but I think that's partially because I personally know the context, and it's definitely better than the replacement.

The old Glurge quote does look like it was added by one of Johnnyfog’s socks, but I dunno, I actually like it.
The quote on I Never Said It Was Poison is a bit confusing, because it never features the moment where the person references "taking a dump on the desk". Is there an extended version we can use?
The quote page is also pretty robust if we want to replace it outright.
Working on: Author Appeal | Sandbox | Troper Wall

Easy fix, just start the quote a word late.
