Talk:Notable Charles Darwin misquotes

From Wikiquote

Jump to: navigation, search

Some of these quotes have already been mentioned as being misquoted on the Charles Darwin page, there is no need for a separate page for misquotations of a single person, and much of the material that is not on the Darwin page can be added to it in properly formatted form. ~ Kalki 00:25, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

Given the limited number of notable misquotes that sounds reasonable. Material with more potential like his books (which can be quoted from to our heart's content) are another matter entirely, but here there isn't much potential. Richard001 09:42, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
I fully endorse the proposed merger. There is something ironic about using a separate context like this article to make a point about taking things out of context to make a point. The article is a fine essay, but its narrow focus does not fit well within Wikiquote's fundamental framework of pages on People, Productions, and Themes. Information about the abuses reported here is useful, and should be included in the main article to the extent that it does not unduly belabor the point. ~ Ningauble 14:03, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
