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.

Whooooa, that is long. Definitely move that to the quotes page, even if you can't find a replacement.

Ikr and I'll get to that.
Wow that's crazy, definitely vote pull!

Never seen a quote that long before. Definite ![[tup]](https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Thumbs_up_emoticon_3268.png "[thumb up]"){kind=small}
to pulling.

I don't think I have either.
I agree.
EDIT: Also, I pulled the quote and moved it to the "Quotes" subpage.

The quote on Depraved Bisexual reads more like No Bisexuals, not enough of the "Ax-Crazy villainy" shining through.
I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.
Goku Black
Would the Jennifer's body quote work as a replacement?
Only one that seems okay for both depraved and bisexual from the quote page.
"That's right mortal. By channeling my divine rage into power, I have forged a new instrument in which to destroy you."
The quote for Whoring seems more applicable to Min/Maxing.
For a replacement, maybe the Brutalmoose one from the quotes page?
The quote on Innocent Cohabitation appears to be describing the opposite of the trope. Pull?
^I'm not actually sure... the description does go into ~relationship drama~ that can be caused by living with someone you aren't dating, and doesn't seem to actually exclude "roommates to lovers".
^^^ +1 to replace with Jennifer's Body

(x4) I think it works.
(x3) I guess it works, though just wondering, do you have any ideas for a more suitable replacement?
I've been thinking about adding this quote for Karmic Butt-Monkey:

I think this quote nicely captures the trope.
The page quote for Ending Memorial Service is Commissioner Gordon from The Dark Knight Rises quoting A Tale of Two Cities, which he quotes at a funeral at the end of the movie. You would have to have seen Dark Knight Rises to know that, and there's nothing about the quote that suggests that. Also the quote is hyperlinked to A Tale of Two Cities.
I recommend pulling. Others?
She / Her
(6x) On second thought, sure.
I agree with what you said on the Karmic Butt-Monkey. The same goes for that other quote. If I had to be honest, I think it's pretty bad, so feel free to cut it.
^^Yeah, that quote wants to be a video example badly.
Creator.Andrew Garfield's quote is a Spider-Man quote. It feels a little fan myopic, especially considering that was like ten years ago and he's had several meaty roles since.
I'd also prefer a creator's page quote not to be a dialogue spoken by the character he played as. Just like it's preferable to have their page images to not come from a role.
"Cool. Coolcoolcool."
Tom Waits has two quotes. I prefer the second one personally.
Tom Holland's quote is also a quote from his Spider-Man.

The quote on Mallard Fillmore is complaining about the strip. Should it be removed, or no?
The quote in question:

It doesn't really tell you anything about the work, so I'd be for cutting it.
She / Her
I think cutting it is fine.
From 'Ell's 'eart Oi stab at ye!
Yeah cut.
How is Epunymous Title's a pun?
Kathy Nightingale: Sparrow and Nightingale! That so works!
Sally Sparrow: I dunno. It's a bit ITV.
Lots of coffee
Maybe not a pun per se, but seems to be a reference to how TV shows will have characters with theme naming to make catchy titles? But I don't think it works for this particular trope — maybe something else.
I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.
She / Her
I honestly think that quote needs to go.
Crown Description:
What should be the page quote for Monster.Fan Works?
The quote for "The Hero Sucks" Song not only has issues with Sinkholes, it's too long. (I wouldn't have an issue with its length if it were on the "Quotes" subpage, though.) Permission to swap it out for one of the examples in the "Quotes" subpage?
