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.

The quote for Vampires Hate Garlic seems to describe a Defied Trope and not what the trope is actually about.
The premise of the quote is that the garlic-loving character is upset that they are now physically incapable of eating garlic. It's not a Defied Trope, it's a straight example.
Suddenly I'm... still rotating Fallen London in my mind even though I've stopped actively playing it.Crossover Couple doesn't really illustrate the trope out of context.
I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.How so? They have different art styles and they're Sweetheart Sipping.
Oh, I thought I was in Image Pickin.

Just wondering, if someone wants to add a page quote to a trope that doesn't have a page quote listed (at least at the time), do they have to consult this thread?
It doesn't hurt to consult the thread, though. Confirm that it's as good as it seems.
Suddenly I'm... still rotating Fallen London in my mind even though I've stopped actively playing it.the quote on Unreliable Voiceover was unilaterally changed back in february from this
to this
Student 2: Hey Goob, want to come over to my house today?
Michael "Goob" Yagoobian: (narrating) They all hated me.
i do think the new quote fits better, but the problem is that it overlaps with Rejection Projection, which we'd discussed here earlier. i think it fits better on rejection projection, so would it be okay to just remove the quote from unreliable narrator? unless someone has a better suggestion

The page quote in Sore Loser relies on an extraneous description telling us that the character behaved as a Sore Loser. The subpage has a quote of Calvin's tantrum, which is probably better to use than the post-tantrum dialog.
Speaking of adding quotes, I was thinking of adding this to the presently-quoteless Morph Weapon, but could use a second opinion:
Oh. That's right. You probably want me to be a spear, don't you?
The weapon fuzzed to mist, then elongated and grew into the shape of a silvery spear, with glowing, swirling glyphs along the sharpened edges of the spearhead.

A society grows great when old men plant trees whose shade they know they will never sit in.This is the first sentence of the quote of Smorgasbord Test:
Anyone who has read the source, is this a mistake or how it actually appears?
I think the quote just doesn't do a good job illustrating regardless. It doesn't mention anything about trying or being offered different foods, just finding the one thing that does satisfy, and that bit mostly just illustrates Emotion Eater.
Also, I swear Eyes Out of Sight is like the third fucking page its quote has been used on.

Specifically it’s on Cool Shades.note And it’s also a ZCQ.

The page quote for I Wished You Were Dead only covers the "wishing something terrible would happen" part, not the "actually happens and the wisher feels guilty" part.
For every low there is a high.
