After the picture on Youngsters was chosen by Image Pickin' I realized how the quote really doesn't fit the page. I can't think of a good quote about general youth so I'd like to just cut the current one.

I feel fairly neutral on it.

New York City Cops has two quotes. Can't say that I like either of them especially, but I dislike the first one less.

New York City Cops: The first one is ok, but I think there's probably something better out there.. The second one is pointless. My vote is dump the second one, keep the first until we find a better one, then move it to the Quotes page.

True Art Is Angsty: Only so-so on the switch; the suggestion sounds like the opposite of the Audience Reaction.

[up] Are you thinking of Darkness-Induced Audience Apathy? True Art Is Angsty is about traumatic (and melotraumatic) stories getting critical acclaim.

No, but if Its Not Angsty Its True Art is the same thing as True Art Is Angsty it could work.

That's over-focusing on the sentence structure. o_O It's still reversing the emotional criticism "I didn't enjoy it because it was too angsty/gloomy" into something intellectually praiseworthy.

Field of Blades has two quotes,both are all blue.

I'm in mind to cut both of them.

Field of Blades: Ditch the first unsourced quote; the second one can go as well.

Field of Blades: Cut both. Neither one really describes the trope.

On the quotes page there is this;

It looks like the current on Field of Blades is two stanzas of the same work rather than two different quotes. But cut it anyway.

^ That... doesn't seem a whole lot better.

Recruiting the Criminal: In favor of the first quote (the proverb) is me, Septimus Heap, and Nocturna. Terrie suggests the Lord Vetinari/Von Lipqig exchange from Making Money. Any other suggestions/votes?

I say cut the whole quote from Field of Blades (I'm fairly certain that Mad's right, it's two stanzas of one quote). Either way, it's not relevant, and way too long.

Handsome Lech: Shows the Lech part, but I don't really see the Handsome. Especially since (in-context) it's a platonic dinner to try and get his two women-friends to speak.

Recruiting the Criminal: My vote is for the proverb.

Handsome Lech: It kind of works, and I'm not sure how we're going to show "handsome" in aquote.

Much as I like that line from Leverage, go with the proverb.

Does neutral for Youngsters mean to keep until a better quote is suggested?
