Talk page etiquette
Although it is not strictly against policy, it is typically not considered good wiki etiquette to remove or comment-out other users' postings to your talk page. User talk pages exist for the purpose of communication with other users, and it is as important for other users to be able to see what has been posted to you as it is for you to read it. For instance, the standard welcome message informs other users that you have been given some basic information on the operation of Wikiquote, so newer postings may refer to it or assume that you have been properly informed. (I realize that you are also a Wikipedia user, but there are some differences between WP and WQ, so it's still a good idea to review the WQ-specific information.) If you want to "get rid" of something that you've dealt with, you can archive it and leave a link to your talk-page archive on the main user talk page, which de-clutters the page while allowing others to review your earlier discussions. (This is the same practice that is encouraged on Wikipedia.) ~ Jeff Q (talk) 23:13, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
Unidentified episode
Please do not remove the "Unidentified episode" heading (or links to that heading in a custom table of contents) in TV-show articles, as you did for Firefly. There are two important reasons not to do this:
- Wiki articles are never finished, so one cannot say that nothing new will ever be added. Nor can we expect all editors to know exactly what episode a quote was from. (Indeed, many people add quotes they found on the Internet without any idea of a source besides the name of the overall work.) Thus we need a place to put these quotes until other editors can locate them properly (or delete them).
- Wikiquote, in general, follows the Wikipedia principle of not having headings for empty sections. However, WQ faces two problems WP does not. First, because of the very different nature of our material, we break up our articles by the quality of the sources (thus "Sourced" and "Unsourced" headings), allowing new editors to try to intuit the need to organize by and cite sources. But we've found that "Unsourced" isn't very clear in TV articles, so we have the unusual "Unidentified episode" to make this clearer. Second, we have far too many 1-time editors and too few regular editors, so it's much more important for anything usual (like an uncommon heading for material that doesn't fit under existing headings) to be made as clear as we can make it for inexperienced editors without disrupting the article for readers. This is our compromise.
As long as I'm bothering you with advice and explanations ☺, I'd also recommend that whenever you edit a custom table of contents to add, change, or remove a link, you verify that your change is also made in the article. (In Firefly, you removed the "Unidentified episode" TOC link without removing the heading.) I hope you find this information useful (and not too annoying!). ~ Jeff Q (talk) 21:59, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
- Ah, fair enough; I hadn't even thought about that difference between WQ and WP (where I'm far more involved). My bad, thanks for the heads up.
Also, I could have sworn that I did remove the heading... bah. I fail at Wikiquote. :) EVula // talk // 19:21, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

- Hi, Johnny :/ - Alison ❤ 00:52, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
Thank you for trimming the Jeff Dunham page. In our Village Pump discussions on revising the guidelines for limitations of quotes, we had reached the consensus that five quotes maximum would be allowable for spoken-word albums, including standup comedy. It's on this basis, for example, that I've been trimming the pages for Lewis Black, Dane Cook, Bill Hicks et al. For this reason I would like to request, since you've already worked on the page for Dunham, that you trim Arguing with Myself and Spark of Insanity to five quotes apiece. If you would prefer not to, let me know and I will do the trimming. - InvisibleSun 18:15, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
- Hmm... considering the wide range of characters, what about five quotes per character? I can see that as keeping in line with the spirit of the policy, considering that Black, Cook, and Hicks are all single-man shows, whereas a Dunham show consists of his opening commentary (none of which is quoted, which is a good thing; it's funny, but not as easily quotable), then several different characters.
- Further compounding this is the definition of a "line", in regards to dialogue. "Later you'll realize you were actually setting a goal" is funny as hell, but only after being followed by the set up. I've tried to cluster the related jokes as best as possible (including cutting some of the jokes that run right into each other to make future pruning easier); would each "cluster" count as a line?
- I'm plenty willing to do the pruning myself, I just think that it might be too stringent, as this is a somewhat unique case. EVula // talk // 19:19, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
- My two cents worth: I think that a "cluster" as you have said can be counted as a "line" in much the same way that a (small) piece of dialogue is counted for film or TV show pages. But I do think we need to try to stay within the proposed limits on the number of quotes. I agree that Jeff's shows are a bit hard to do this with, given the wide range of characters, but we face the same dilemma when dealing with TV shows or films that offer many characters. In those cases, we are setting limits based on the length of the film or show and I think we should act similarly here. Given that the average comedy show or CD is around an hour long, we have settled on the limit of 5 quotes, as we do with films and shows. ~ UDScott 19:36, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
- Hmm, bummer. I'm going to prune them in favor of how long their bits are; Bubba J.'s bit is fairly short in comparison to the Walter bit, so I might ditch all of his quotes in favor of another Walter gag.
- My two cents worth: I think that a "cluster" as you have said can be counted as a "line" in much the same way that a (small) piece of dialogue is counted for film or TV show pages.

- Well, on the plus side, it'll mean we can get rid of the Sweet Daddy Dee quotes; I never thought he was as funny as some of his other characters. :D
- Tonight is going to suck as far as my free time goes, but I'll try to get it done sometime between now and before the weekend is out. EVula // talk // 20:06, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
Alrighty, all cut. It was 38,435 bytes when I first started working on it[1], and now it weighs in at 6,775 bytes.[2] Pretty drastic[3]... EVula // talk // 18:25, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

Your question
You wrote:
So now that I know what the guidelines are for comedians, what about for movies? I want to clean up the V for Vendetta movie article, but want to know how much of it can be kept. EVula // talk // 23:02, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
- The general consensus is that we allow 5 quotes per hour of a given work (e.g. film or TV show), so it depends on the running time of the film. In the case of V for Vendetta, that has a running time of 132 minutes, I would say you should trim it to 11 quotes. See Wikiquote:Village_pump#Copyright_guidelines_for_trimming_articles for more discussion on the trimming efforts. ~ UDScott 00:40, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
- Ah, excellent, thanks for the link. I'll see what I can do to trim down some of the stuff that I'm most familiar with. (and if anyone cuts the v-heavy line in favor of some other line, heads are going to roll. :)
I'm going to leave the "Quotes from other sources" section, though; both sources are in the public domain, so there's no concern there. I'm assuming that the reviews are outside this requirement as well, yes? EVula // talk // 05:10, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

MST3K
I noticed that you've volunteered to trim the Mystery Science Theater 3000 page. Just the other day I got a note from Jeffq in which he had also expressed an interest in trimming that article. Perhaps you might want to get in touch with him and coordinate something in this regard.
Thanks for your work on the Jeff Dunham page. Standup comic pages are a constant source of copyvio. Fans naturally want to quote all of the jokes: which means, in effect, replicating entire routines. - InvisibleSun 19:21, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
- As I've just posted on its talk page (see for details), I fully support severe trimming of MST3K. I've been far too negligent of this massive article, which frequently requires major trimming that I used to do periodically. I'll also try to jump in as I have time. Meanwhile, have at it! ~ Jeff Q (talk) 23:30, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
- I think spinning off the seasons into individual sub-pages might be an excellent way to maintain the article(s) in the future. I think we can all agree that the current size of the article makes it fairly unwieldy... EVula // talk // 23:41, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
- Actually, I've realized that I'm going to have practically zilch spare time over the next couple of months. I've removed it from my listing; I'll help out where I can, but I don't want anyone to think that I'm "reserving" that page for myself. Bummer. :\ EVula // talk // 16:08, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
Thanks
Thanks for the help in handling the infantile activity that occurred earlier today. Would you accept a nomination as an admin here? ~ Kalki 16:52, 6 November 2008 (UTC)
- Not a problem, always happy to help. If only I'd waited, I'd be more than happy to accept a nomination. Nobody's posted a response yet; I could scrap my self-nom and just accept whatever you want to write. ;) EVula // talk // 16:58, 6 November 2008 (UTC)
- I just supported your self nomination, which I obviously had not noticed — I've been shuffling between many tasks today. I expect that we will soon have 2 new admins here within the week. Thanks again for the help. Kalki 17:11, 6 November 2008 (UTC)
- Awesome, I appreciate the vote of confidence. My only concern in posting the RfA was that it'd be seen as a knee-jerk reaction, but then I realized just how (relatively) few admins WQ has. The more the merrier. :) EVula // talk // 17:15, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for your kind words supporting my nomination for adminship. I will try not to make a mess as I learn to use the tools. ~ Ningauble 02:47, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

Your header
Hey there, EVula. I just wanted to tell you that I based my header off yours. I've been thinking of making a header for some time now, and I just thought yours was the simplest. I also used some of your userboxes. I hope it's no problem with you. Oh, by the way, congratulations on your adminship here. :) Being an administrator on quite a few wikis must be a busy job for you. I'm sure someone like you can handle that rather well. – RyanCross (talk) 06:35, 18 November 2008 (UTC)
- I need to keep a list of people that use my header, userboxes, or matrix; if it wasn't for that damn GFDL, I could be rich! ;) (it's totally not a problem; the more the merrier)
- As for all the adminships... yeah, it's a bit tough to balance, but I'm generally on Wikipedia every day, and swing by Wikisource and Wikiquote at least once a day anyway. On Commons, I try to delete at least a handful of bad images every day. Meta and Wikispecies have pretty much dropped off my radar for the most part, but they're very well patrolled anyway; there's generally nothing for me to do around there these days. :) EVula // talk // ☯ // 15:25, 18 November 2008 (UTC)
- Alright, thank you very much for your permission. :) Ah, well, it sounds like you handle things well around the Foundation. :) I know how it feels to try to be active on more than one wiki. I'm active on only three right now, but I hope to become more active here at English Wikiquote from now on. I was only semi-active the past three months.
- Well, I hope to see you around, EVula. If you disagree with an edit of mine, feel free to revert and tell me about it so we can discuss it. I have some experience with Wikiquote from being an active editor (and administrator) at Simple English Wikiquote, but the English Wikiquote is slightly different when it comes to articles and the manual of style. But I hope to get the hang of things very soon. :) – RyanCross (talk) 00:11, 19 November 2008 (UTC)
- If I can make admin here, I'm sure you can. ;) You've at least got sysop experience at another Wikiquote; in my mind, that makes you qualified enough for here.
Just for shits and giggles, I once did up a version of w:User:EVula/sidebar2 that had "I'm an admin" boxes for all of the projects; I honestly didn't think I'd get as far down that list as I am now. :) EVula // talk // ☯ // 05:35, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

- Thank you for your kind words, and I'm honoured that you think I'm qualified for adminship, but in my mind, I just want to contribute to articles for now. :) That's why we're here, is it not? ;) Well... maybe adminship might be useful for me along the way... since I already needed some pages speedy deleted (as you can see)... but not now. Maybe you can ask later on if you want. ;) I may consider it if I feel I would be a good administrator here...
- Heh, I wonder how long that list will go from here. :) What's next? Wikibooks? Wiktionary? Wikinews? Wikiversity (though, I never really understood their adminship process)? These wikis? ;) Just joking. Anyway, I can see you're pretty dedicated to being an administrator on wikis and doing maintenance work around. Impressive! I'm sure many people appreciate your work you do, both, with articles and the work you do as an administrator. :) I know I do at least. – RyanCross (talk) 06:32, 19 November 2008 (UTC)
- Actually, of all those projects, the English Wikinews is the only one I'm actually thinking I could run an RfA at, though not right now; I haven't been there in forever, though at one point I was actually moderately active there. Oh well... (though I have considered requesting adminship on some of the projects I'm most active in maintaining interwikis on; I could probably pass, if they accepted the "I'm just here to maintain interwikis on fully-protected templates" argument. *shrug*)
As for easing into adminship, that's a good idea. Each wiki is different, and figuring out those differences can make the difference between a crappy admin and a good admin. ;) EVula // talk // ☯ // 07:13, 19 November 2008 (UTC)- Wikinews, eh? The projects I've really only had interest in are Wikipedia and Wikiquote (and Wiktionary for a short time only). Well, I wish you luck at Wikinews. :) I'm sure you'll be helpful to Wikinews as well when you run for adminship there if you decide to.
- Well, it's been nice talking to you. I hope to see you around, EVula. :) – RyanCross (talk) 07:22, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

Bud Selig
Hey there, EVula. It's me again. Could you possibly look over the Bud Selig article for me and look over the formatting of it? I've been working on it all week, so I just want someone to evaluate my work and see if there are any problems. One thing I'm not entirely sure about are the authors in the {{cite web}} templates. You see, some of the sourcing as you can see say something like "Selig's first wife quoted in Nicholas Thompson." It doesn't sound right, IMO. What do you think? – RyanCross (talk) 20:48, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
- Overall, it looks good to me (I tweaked the quote from his first wife). However, I'll readily admit that I'm not necessarily the most knowledgeable when it comes to Wikiquote's manual of style and other standard practices; I'm just a workhorse here. :) EVula // talk // ☯ // 21:09, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
- Alright, thanks anyway. I think you gave me an idea on how I should format the authors and the person who said the quote now. And yeah, you do seem to do better with admin-related tasks. No wonder why you are an admin on so many wikis. :) – RyanCross (talk) 21:12, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
!Voting in dates
Hey there EVula. I noticed a lot of date pages have !voting in them, such as January 1 (and every other month and date). I was wondering how exactly you format your !vote. Does "1" mean you like it the most? Can you !vote with the same number in different sections? etc. I would really like to start participating in these sort of pages. Thanks, – RyanCross (talk) 05:44, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
- I haven't participated in a single date page, primarily because I only found out about them probably last week. :D InvisibleSun is probably a better person to ask. EVula // talk // ☯ // 05:46, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

entertonement
Hi there, I noticed you reprimanded Lillylibertine88 a few days back for putting in links to entertonement.com in several pages. I need to check if such a site is valid for EL inclusion in wikiquote, because someone else complained why I removed entertonement links from James Bond. I sort of followed your example, thinking it was spam or something. Please clarify it to both of us. Thanks. --Eaglestorm 14:17, 8 December 2008 (UTC)
- Well, for starters, we're not here to document every single website out there that might have something relevant to the article. However, I'd have serious reservations about linking to a massive bank of audio clips; there might be very real copyright violation issues happening there.
- I've started a discussion thread at Wikiquote:Village pump#Entertonement. We can get some clarification on what we should do with these links. EVula // talk // ☯ // 16:20, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

I noticed there was a prior deletion discussion on this: Wikiquote:Votes for deletion/Jim Carrey - but I re-created the page from scratch and everything is sourced - I just wanted to doublecheck that that is okay? Cirt (talk) 07:44, 10 December 2008 (UTC)
- Absolutely; none of the reasons that prompted the article's deletion are still relevant. I'd even be willing to provide you with a copy of the deleted article if you'd like to try to find sources for the unsourced quotes. EVula // talk // ☯ // 07:57, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

Recent changes top ideas
I think some of the top stuff here could be helpful to have for our Special:RecentChanges top as well. For example Current Number of Articles: 13,792 | Current Number of Users: 63,634 | Current Number of Administrators: 48 would be neat, as well as our versions of some of the other helpful links to key pages on the project. What do you think? Cirt (talk) 21:31, 14 December 2008 (UTC)
- Yeah, I can think of a way to incorporate that information in the formatting we've already got. I'll play around with it later tonight (I would now, but I've got a friend coming over). EVula // talk // ☯ // 23:20, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

- Fantastic ideas. :-) How about adding "{{NUMBEROFPAGES}}" also? That could be useful. I mean, the more the merrier, right? :-) The best place to add that would be... probably between "edits" and "articles". – RyanCross (talk) 09:29, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

- Heh, thanks for adding it. :-) RyanCross @ 22:01, 24 December 2008 (UTC)
- Also, I think instead of it saying "edit this page | talk" at the bottom, it should say "view this page | talk". Technically, non-administrators can't edit the page, but they can view it. And when you click on the "edit this page" link, you're not really editing the page until you click the "edit" tab, so you are just viewing it. ;-) RyanCross @ 02:39, 25 December 2008 (UTC)

- Hrm, those would probably take a lot more effort to port over here than, say, the UTC clock. :) I'll give 'em a look, and maybe even ask their authors about it; they might have some insight than my random poking around in the wikicode may not help with. EVula // talk // ☯ // 23:22, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
- Ah thanks. No worries, and no rush. Something simpler might be simply a tab to add {{subst:welcome}} to a user's talk page page, which could possibly be code cut out of w:WP:FRIENDLY that might work over here. Cirt (talk) 23:59, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
Thanks...
... for the protection of Teenger Divas (and the deletion). I was actually just about to ask for that protection since it was deleted a few minutes ago. Again, thanks. — RyanCross (talk) 23:20, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
- Yeah, I spotted it about five seconds before you tagged it. Got a little bit confused when I went to delete it and saw that it had already been deleted today, went back and refreshed, then saw your deletion tag. :) EVula // talk // ☯ // 23:22, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
- Heh, yeah... that actually happened to me once or twice over at Simple English Wikipedia. I'll be like, "wait, wha...? Didn't I just delete that?" It's confusing to be an administrator sometimes on wikis. :) — RyanCross (talk) 23:28, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
Haha!
Haha! Well, it is based off of your user page. ;) — RyanCross (talk) 00:20, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
User Helloworld
Thanks for intervening with user Helloworld. As an interested party, I did not want to act unilaterally. ~ Ningauble 21:24, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
- No worries, always happy to lay the smackdown. :) It probably could have been an indefinite block, but I figured I'd start small. EVula // talk // ☯ // 21:27, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
Obama update
I noticed you beat me slightly in updating the Barack Obama page, — I actually had to log out and log back in before the update I had typed up was finally accepted, after making three previous attempts to post the intro I came up with last night, beginning from the moment he completed the oath. I am listening to the Inaugural speech right now. ~ Kalki 17:14, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
- Yeah, I jumped the gun a bit; I heard the commentator downstairs say that he officially had the office at 12, regardless of not actually being sworn in yet, so I started making the edits. I also updated the Wikisource and Commons pages (same with Biden and, where relevant, W and Cheney). I tried to be at least somewhat neutral, but wasn't particularly good at it.[4][5] :)
On the downside, I missed the actual swearing in, but did jump downstairs to catch all but the first minute of his speech. EVula // talk // ☯ // 17:32, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
Bureaucrat status
Congratulations, you are now a bureaucrat here at Wikiquote. ~ Kalki 19:04, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
- Wahoo!
...watch, there won't be a rename request for two months. EVula // talk // ☯ // 19:20, 2 February 2009 (UTC)- Congrat's, and thanks for volunteering to do account maintenance work. You can update the lists at WQ:ADMIN if you like. ~ Ningauble 20:33, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
You are most welcome, and congratulations! Cirt (talk) 20:35, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
- Congratulations! :-) I'm happy someone as experienced as you as a bureaucrat is now a bureaucrat for English Wikiquote. Way to volunteer to do even more extra work. ;-) — RyanCross (talk) 01:52, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
Can you please create a page that lists all the Electronic games and add a requested section to it so I can add what needs to be created?(Dennys 22:44, 20 April 2009 (UTC))
- ...all electronic games? You'd be better off going to Wikipedia to figure that one out, as it would be an absolutely massive list. Even then, not all of the games could have decent Wikiquote entries (Superman 64 comes to mind). EVula // talk // ☯ // 16:05, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for fixing the missing signature—my goof. ~ Ningauble 19:20, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
- No worries, I've done the same thing before when making multiple comments in a single edit. EVula // talk // ☯ // 19:22, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
Star Wars The Clone Wars Lightsaber Duels
Just get on with the deletion for that page so I can rewrite it in the future. Star Wars The Clone Wars Lightsaber Duels is requested on the requested entries list.(Dennys 21:06, 16 June 2009 (UTC))
- As I've already stated in an email, the fact that it's on the requested entries list doesn't mean anything.
- As for deleting it, there's absolutely no reason that you have to wait for it to be deleted to work on overhauling it. EVula // talk // ☯ // 21:10, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
Hello,
It has been almost a year, but can you please send me the source code for the old Jeremy Clarkson page? I would like to use some of it on a private Top Gear Wiki site.
Thank you for your time, Sir Stig 06:56, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

How about 10 quotes per anything instead of two to three quotes? I am getting sick of this puny and short pages with no memorial quotes.(Dennys 00:03, 14 July 2009 (UTC))
- Actual dialogue back and forth would count as a single "quote." If you're tired of pages with no memorable quotes, you should replace them with ones that are. EVula // talk // ☯ // 00:20, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
That's not what I meant. What I really meant is every page gets a huge makeover with 10 quotes or more and I am sick of seeing puny and shrimpy pages all over the place.(Dennys 03:45, 14 July 2009 (UTC))
- Copyright laws trump what you're sick of seeing, and I'm running out of patience. EVula // talk // ☯ // 13:29, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
Well how about get used to untrimmed articles and again what I meant is no need to trim the clone wars tv series as you can take your trimming somewhere else like go trim wikipedia instead. If you are going to be upset with me the log out button is located at the upper right hand corner.(Dennys 18:59, 14 July 2009 (UTC))
- Last straw. If you can't get used to the policies of Wikiquote, you're going to have to find another site, either by your own choice or by being blocked.
- This is not a debate. This is not open to discussion. EVula // talk // ☯ // 23:50, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
How about retire instead of listening to my complaints? Nobody wants the limit on quotes policy anymore unless at least 10 quotes are allowedv on any pages?(Dennys 01:43, 15 July 2009 (UTC))
- Tough shit what "nobody" wants. EVula // talk // ☯ // 01:45, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
how about quit your job, untrimmed those puny pages or I will use my katana on you?(Dennys 01:48, 15 July 2009 (UTC))
