“Faking Oscar Wilde quotes is the last resort of the unimaginative noobs.”
After a week or so on recent changes with my brand new rollback plunger, I realized that out of the 25,000 articles we've got, 10,000 are TOTAL shit... You already know that.. Well, you also know that we have, like, 40,000 fake quotes, and out of those, 39,500 are shit. And I say "Enough!"
I'm not proposing a "quoticide". I'm proposing a Cabal Decree banning new quotes; ALL articles created from now on shall not contain quotes, enough shit already. • • • • 20:13, October 28, 2009 (UTC)
- Nah. For two reasons: first, it's not a good idea to limit where writers want to go with their creativeness. Second, some quotes are very good and contribute to the article. ~ 20:16, October 28, 2009 (UTC)
- "Creativeness," my ass. I agree with you on the second point, though, the good ones are rare. • • • • 20:20, October 28, 2009 (UTC)
- We have enough red tape as it is. There's no need to set rules that limit a specific type of item in an article. ~ 20:32, October 28, 2009 (UTC)
- Well.. Quotes are very good start for reading article, and i disagree with statement that quotes are crap.. most are cool and funny. Quotes FTW Ptok-BentonicznyTalk to Pole 21:13, October 28, 2009 (UTC)

- Eh... I think quoticides are the standard course of action when you feel a hate spasm toward quotes coming on. And banning all quotes is just dumb (no offense meant, M00sh). • • • Necropaxx (T) {~} Thursday, 00:30, Oct 29 2009
- Offense fully taken. Thank you. • • • • 09:12, October 29, 2009 (UTC)
- I think that, rather than banning quotes altogether, there should be a limit on how many quotes you can put in an article, if that's at all possible. Just because lots of the really crappy articles are about 20-40% bad quotes. —Paizuri MUN (Talk • Contribs • Poll!)
- Just think of too many quotes being a warning that the page is probably crap. Like "mine field", but with crap. Sir Modusoperandi Boinc! 03:01, October 29, 2009 (UTC)
