Quote order?

I think this is an excellent starting place, and seems pretty close to being final IMO. I would say that instead of the third letter in the second sentence it should be the fourth.......--31dot 02:24, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

Um, guys. What's the logic behind this?

"In a quotes section, they need not be in any order, but if an order is needed, they should be in alphabetical order by the third letter in the second sentence in each quote."

Sounds...random to me. "Third letter in second sentence"? – Cleanse 03:23, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

To be honest, it was meant as a bit of a joke when Morder and I were discussing it in the first place. I didn't expect him to actually use it. :)

Nor do I expect it to be in the final draft. -- sulfur 03:30, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

LOL. Just checking in case I was missing something blindingly obvious. It's been known to happen. ;-) – Cleanse 03:32, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

Updated

I feel that the guidelines are fairly well defined with leeway available when needed. Any other changes before we implement this? — Morder 05:13, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

I'm just wondering why the order the quotes appear in the episode is only a suggestion.....this would seem to be a good way to organize them. I guess my question is, when isn't an order needed?

My personal opinion is that instead of saying "5 or 6" quotes we should say one or the other and leave less room for argument. Not a big deal to me, though.

I wonder if we should have a section addressing the removal of disputed/unneeded quotes to the talk page, just so everyone is aware.--31dot 02:31, 11 April 2009 (UTC)

Those are just my thoughts; I do accept the way it is now. I do think it's ready if that's what people want.--31dot 02:32, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
