Quotes
Please review MA:QUOTE for some guidelines on quotes in articles. Quotes should not be entire passages or exchanges; if you need more than one or two lines, it's not that memorable. 31dot (talk) 12:00, September 1, 2012 (UTC)


 * I noticed that you undid my edit on Equinox, part 2. You said that if it includes more than two lines, it's not that memorable. Yet I've looked at many pages and noticed that many of these quotes include more than two lines. And I am not copying down every verbatim. I'm only including what many would consider memorable.

You posted an entire exchange of a song being sung, as well as a later exchange of several lines. Seeing other similar passages elsewhere is not a reason to have them on the Equinox page, as it is likely they simply haven't been removed yet. While two lines is not a hard and fast rule, it could be three or four if truly memorable, entire exchanges are not permitted. It's called "Memorable quotes", not "memorable passages". If you have to post the entire song, it's not that memorable.

If you have further comment, please respond here, to keep the discussion in one location.31dot (talk) 11:45, September 2, 2012 (UTC)
