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.

It fits Card Games better, and even then, not much.
Complaining About People Not Liking the Show has a quote:
...but it’s a generalization of a trend rather than being from a direct source. My suggestion:

But that's not Complaining About People Not Liking the Show (which, tbh, I'm not sure should have a quote at all) - it seems to be mostly complaining about putting his opinion on a pedestal.
He’s criticizing people for Complaining About People Not Liking the Show.
I could live with no quote at all, but worth noting that it has a Quotes page.

x6 on Villain: Exit, Stage Left: The original quote is much better as it's actually about the trope. The new quote doesn't address the trope, b/c the villain (Emperor Palpatine) was not defeated.
I could go either way on the replacement quote for Complaining About People Not Liking the Show, but I definitely think the current one should be cut. It's not a good quote, and I'm always wary of quotes that need attached notes.

She / Her
(x4) I don't know if I'm a big fan of either, though I agree with cutting the current because it doesn't feel very demonstrative to me.
I think this one from the Complaining About People Not Liking the Show Quotes page would work:
I like that since it's more straightforward.
Jacob and Esau is a case where the trope namer is also the quote and image source. A replacement from the page?
Agree on both the need for quote change and this as a replacement.
She / Her
(x3) Besides what I said on the current at(x4), your replacement is more demonstrative imo.
I feel your suggestion works and I agree that the current needs to go.
Since I feel enough time has passed and I think it's been buried, can I get anymore thoughts on my suggested replacement
for ThatOneBoss.Touhou Project?
Works for me.
Suggestion sounds fine to me.
Disgusting Vegetarian Food and Meat Versus Veggies have the same quote.
I think the quote works better for Disgusting Vegetarian Food. Unfortunately, Meat Versus Veggies doesn't have a Quotes page to find an easy replacement.
I mainly fix indentation issues

OG Troper
Money Song quotes a song that just quotes another song. "Cash Rules Everything Around Me [...] Dolla Dolla bills ya'll" is just the chorus for CREAM by Wu Tang Clan with one line removed. Why exactly is the Wyclef song quoted?
the statement above is false
Jerkass Has a Point noticeably doesn’t have a linked source for the quote. I want to suggest this one as the page quote:
Yeah, that is weird. If you're suggesting switching the Money Song quote to the original Wu-Tang Clan lyric, I vote yes.
I don't think it's a problem that James Acaster doesn't have his own page if the current quote works for Jerkass Has a Point, which I think it does. Plus, the recommended replacement says the person is insane, not a jerk. Francis may be using the words interchangeably, but I don't think it fits as well for the trope. It could be a good fit, though, for the index page, This Index Has A Point.
How sweet it is
Literature.Filth has two quotes.

Just stoic wisdom.
Agree on both counts.
Ah, I see. I guess I'll add it once more people say it's all good. In the meantime... thinking of maybe using this as a quote for Main.Two D Visuals Three D Effects (they have way more jokes like this in the show itself):
Penelope Pitstop: Oh, that sounds awful.
Legal Representative: Well, the CG cars will be cool.
Edited by Jobyrdthegamerbyrd on May 13th 2023 at 7:52:23 AM
I can't really see how that quote illustrates that the CG cars will be 3D while the world is 2D.

I dont think the quote actually reflects the trope and is negative and whiny to boot.

Crown Description:
What should be the page quote for Monster.Fan Works?
Seems that Card Games and Collectible Card Game share the same quote. Anyone have any recommendations for a replacement for either, or if one is necessary at all? If so, I suppose it'd be better if it wasn't another Yu-Gi-Oh Abridged quote, even if that series is rife with potential candidates.
