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.

Okay, if other people are okay with it, I'll switch it to the Harry Potter quote without the first line.
Yeah, that seems dubious to me. It's not a source if you can't even find out whether the source exists. I just had a search, too, and the only source I can find is the T Vtropes page the quote is on. So, I think it probably needs a new quote that has a proper source.
Welcome, traveller, welcome to Omsk
No quote page. Anyone have any quotes to hand that suit Phenotype Stereotype? Otherwise I'll cut it and leave it quoteless until one can be found.
Man in the Yellow Hat
Undignified Death and Jaywalking Will Ruin Your Life have the same on-page quote from First Blood. If one needs to be changed, which one?
There's so much I wish I could take back.
He/Him
The one on Jaywalking Will Ruin Your Life
Man in the Yellow Hat
Ok, will swap the quotes now.
There's so much I wish I could take back.
YMMV.Todd In The Shadows has a quote presumably from Todd at the top of the page. I've never seen this on a YMMV page before and I'm assuming that it's not done much like images on YMMV pages. Good to remove?
Finger Poke of Doom has two quotes, the second of which was added near the end of November and is not particularly illustrative. Should we just cut that one?
I'm leaning towards cut.
"Cool. Coolcoolcool."
Industrious Incisors
The quote on Wingdinglish is completely non-illustrative.
SoundCloud
Agreed. Pull.
i hate to be the asshole, but does anyone else think the page quote for Reckless Gun Usage should be changed to a fictional example? It seems insensitive as all hell, and didn't even get his alleged final words correct. It's one thing for Sedgwick Speech to use a quote from the civil war, but Kath only died in the 70s.

"Cool. Coolcoolcool."
With Azula being cut, we need a new quote for the MagnificentBastard.Avatar The Last Airbender page. Here are two potential ones from Amon:
Showtime!
I like the second avatar quote, and the Gun quote does feel a little... icky
Absolute destiny... apeachalypse?
I’ll take a potato chip… and EAT IT!

To the second Avatar quote
x4 Good point on the quote for Reckless Gun Usage. After looking over the quotes page, I think the best one would be the one from kill.switch.
I would also be fine with Reckless Gun Usage using a fictional quote.
I wanted to bring up Creator.Alex Hirsch's page quote again. I think last time it was brought up, someone determined that the quote was sourced from a YouTuber whose videos are no longer publicly available or something. So here's a few quote suggestions I found online:
I recall he shared a similar sentiment to this one in an interview while the show was still airing, where he said something like (paraphrased) "If you train an audience to follow breadcrumbs, they'll find all the breadcrumbs, and then they'll find breadcrumbs you didn't even leave, and then they demand more breadcrumbs." That could also be a good one, if someone can find it.
Unofficial Wiki Curator for Complete Monster
Two-part question:
- Which works better for The Legend of Zelda Fan Works, the current quote or the quote at Fan Games?
- Since the quote at Fan Games is from a Zelda fan game, we need a new quote. Any suggestions? I searched through Complete Monster AND Complete Monster: Video Games and don't think there was anything.
From 'Ell's 'eart Oi stab at ye!
I'm gonna say Wisdom & Courage. Both are pretty good, but Zelda's quote really underlines the hidden monstrosity aspect.
Unofficial Wiki Curator for Complete Monster
Well, whichever one we don't use, I'll add to the main quotes page.
Though anyone got an idea for the Fan Games page?
CM Dates; CM Pending; CM Drafts
"Cool. Coolcoolcool."
Anymore feedback on this?
From 'Ell's 'eart Oi stab at ye!
Sadly not. I don't play fan games generally.
Both look good but I'll take the shorter one.
Classy, Refined, Unstable
Personally I like the Amon quote for the MB page.
Oh, Mr. Kennedy, you entertain me. To show my appreciation, I will help you awaken from your world of clichés.
"Cool. Coolcoolcool."
They are both from Amon.
Fan-Preferred Couple cleanup thread
Crown Description:
What should be the page quote for Monster.Fan Works?
The quote on Phenotype Stereotype is good in itself, but is simply credited to "a Hetalia: Axis Powers fanfic". Also, googling the lines gives me no hits but the page itself, making me wonder whether the fanfic even exists.
Is this okay?
