== Talk page etiquette ==

Although it is not strictly against policy, it is typically not considered good [[w:Wikipedia:Etiquette|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 [[w:Help:Talk page#User talk pages|encouraged on Wikipedia]].) ~ [[User:Jeffq|Jeff Q]]&nbsp;[[User talk:Jeffq|(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 (TV series)|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!). ~ [[User:Jeffq|Jeff Q]]&nbsp;[[User talk:Jeffq|(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.<br />Also, I could have sworn that I ''did'' remove the heading... bah. I fail at Wikiquote. :) [[User:EVula|EVula]] <span style="color: #999;">// [[User talk:EVula|talk]] //</span> 19:21, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

==[[Jeff Dunham]]==
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. - [[User:InvisibleSun|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. [[User:EVula|EVula]] <span style="color: #999;">// [[User talk:EVula|talk]] //</span> 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. ~ [[User:UDScott|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.

:::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. [[User:EVula|EVula]] <span style="color: #999;">// [[User talk:EVula|talk]] //</span> 20:06, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

== Your question ==

You wrote:<br>
''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. [[User:EVula|EVula]] <span style="color: #999;">// [[User talk:EVula|talk]] //</span> 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. ~ [[User:UDScott|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. :)<br />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 [[V for Vendetta (film)#Reviews|reviews]] are outside this requirement as well, yes?

==MST3K==
I noticed that you've volunteered to trim the [[Mystery Science Theater 3000]] page. Just the other day I got a [[User talk:InvisibleSun#Twin Peaks|note]] from [[User:Jeffq|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.<p>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. - [[User:InvisibleSun|InvisibleSun]] 19:21, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

: As I've just posted on its [[Talk:Mystery Science Theater 3000#Cutting down the article size|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! ~ [[User:Jeffq|Jeff Q]]&nbsp;[[User talk:Jeffq|(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.

:Actually, I've realized that I'm going to have practically zilch spare time over the next couple of months.

== Your header ==

Hey there, EVula. I just wanted to tell you that I based [[User:RyanCross/header|my header]] off [[User:EVula/header|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. &ndash; [[User:RyanCross|<font color="navy" face="cursive">'''Ryan'''Cross</font>]] ([[User talk:RyanCross|<font color="navy" face="cursive">''talk''</font>]]) 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. :) [[User:EVula|EVula]] <span style="color: #999;">// [[User talk:EVula|talk]] // [[User:EVula/admin|<span style="color: #366;">&#9775;</span>]] //</span> 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:Main Page|Simple English Wikiquote]], but the English Wikiquote is slightly different when it comes to articles and the [[WQ:MOS|manual of style]]. But I hope to get the hang of things very soon. :) &ndash; [[User:RyanCross|<font color="navy" face="cursive">'''Ryan'''Cross</font>]] ([[User talk:RyanCross|<font color="navy" face="cursive">''talk''</font>]]) 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.<br /> 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. :) [[User:EVula|EVula]] <span style="color: #999;">// [[User talk:EVula|talk]] // [[User:EVula/admin|<span style="color: #366;">&#9775;</span>]] //</span> 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 [[WQ:CSD|speedy deleted]] (as ''you'' can [[Special:DeletedContributions/RyanCross|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)? [[meta:User:EVula/matrix#The_Matrix|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. &ndash; [[User:RyanCross|<font color="navy" face="cursive">'''Ryan'''Cross</font>]] ([[User talk:RyanCross|<font color="navy" face="cursive">''talk''</font>]]) 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*)<br />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. ;) [[User:EVula|EVula]] <span style="color: #999;">// [[User talk:EVula|talk]] // [[User:EVula/admin|<span style="color: #366;">&#9775;</span>]] //</span> 07:13, 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 {{tl|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? &ndash; [[User:RyanCross|<font color="navy" face="cursive">'''Ryan'''Cross</font>]] ([[User talk:RyanCross|<font color="navy" face="cursive">''talk''</font>]]) 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. :) [[User:EVula|EVula]] <span style="color: #999;">// [[User talk:EVula|talk]] // [[User:EVula/admin|<span style="color: #366;">&#9775;</span>]] //</span> 21:09, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

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.

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 (film series)|James Bond]]. I sort of followed your example, thinking it was spam or something. Please clarify it to both of us. Thanks. --[[User:Eaglestorm|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.

== Recent changes top ideas ==

I think some of the top stuff [http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Special:RecentChanges 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? '''[[User:Cirt|Cirt]]''' ([[User talk: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).

::Thanksomuch. '''[[User:Cirt|Cirt]]''' ([[User talk:Cirt|talk]]) 03:30, 15 December 2008 (UTC)

:Added a stats line to [[MediaWiki:Recentchangestext]]. [[User:EVula|EVula]] <span style="color: #999;">// [[User talk:EVula|talk]] // [[User:EVula/admin|<span style="color: #366;">&#9775;</span>]] //</span> 23:01, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

::Fantastic ideas. :-) How about adding "<nowiki>{{NUMBEROFPAGES}}</nowiki>" 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". &ndash; [[User:RyanCross|<font color="navy" face="cursive">'''Ryan'''Cross</font>]] ([[User talk:RyanCross|<font color="navy" face="cursive">''talk''</font>]]) 09:29, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

::::Heh, thanks for adding it. :-) <font face="cursive">[[User:RyanCross|'''Ryan''']][[User talk:RyanCross|Cross]]</font> @ 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. ;-) <font face="cursive">[[User:RyanCross|'''Ryan''']][[User talk:RyanCross|Cross]]</font> @ 02:39, 25 December 2008 (UTC)

== Function to add to bottom when looking at users' contribs ==

Can you add ''Subpages · Edit count · Images uploaded · SUL accounts · Global Contributions'' to the bottom of the page when looking at users' contribs? For example see [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/EVula here]. Cheers, '''[[User:Cirt|Cirt]]''' ([[User talk:Cirt|talk]]) 20:46, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
:If I can figure out what MediaWiki page that is, sure thing. :) [[User:EVula|EVula]] <span style="color: #999;">// [[User talk:EVula|talk]] // [[User:EVula/admin|<span style="color: #366;">&#9775;</span>]] //</span> 17:03, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
Looks like the registered user one was done, but not the anon:
#[[MediaWiki:Sp-contributions-footer]]
#[[MediaWiki:Sp-contributions-footer-anon]]
Good model at en.wikipedia for some additional functions to add to both:
#[[w:MediaWiki:Sp-contributions-footer]]
#[[w:MediaWiki:Sp-contributions-footer-anon]]
Keep me posted. '''[[User:Cirt|Cirt]]''' ([[User talk:Cirt|talk]]) 21:24, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

== Simpsons quotes ==

Why did you delete the Simpsons quotes pages? --[[User:Captain Infinity|Captain Infinity]] 18:37, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

== Friendly and/or Twinkle? ==

This might be a big project, but could [[w:WP:FRIENDLY]] and/or [[w:WP:TWINKLE]] functions be modified to work on this project? '''[[User:Cirt|Cirt]]''' ([[User talk:Cirt|talk]]) 04:33, 2 January 2009 (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.

::Ah thanks. No worries, and no rush. Something simpler might be simply a tab to add <nowiki>{{subst:welcome}}</nowiki> to a user's talk page page, which could possibly be code cut out of [[w:WP:FRIENDLY]] that might work over here. '''[[User:Cirt|Cirt]]''' ([[User talk: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. &mdash; [[User:RyanCross|<font color="#03C" face="cursive">'''Ryan'''Cross</font>]] ([[User talk:RyanCross|<font color="#03C" face="cursive">''talk''</font>]]) 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. :) [[User:EVula|EVula]] <span style="color: #999;">// [[User talk:EVula|talk]] // [[User:EVula/admin|<span style="color: #366;">&#9775;</span>]] //</span> 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. :) &mdash; [[User:RyanCross|<font color="#03C" face="cursive">'''Ryan'''Cross</font>]] ([[User talk:RyanCross|<font color="#03C" face="cursive">''talk''</font>]]) 23:28, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

[http://en.wikiquote.org/w/index.php?title=Wikiquote:Requests_for_adminship/RyanCross&curid=98173&diff=881371&oldid=881365 Haha!] Well, it is based off of your user page. ;) &mdash; [[User:RyanCross|<font color="#03C" face="cursive">'''Ryan'''Cross</font>]] ([[User talk:RyanCross|<font color="#03C" face="cursive">''talk''</font>]]) 00:20, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

== User Helloworld ==

Thanks for intervening with user [[Special:Contributions/Helloworld|Helloworld]]. As an interested party, I did not want to act unilaterally. ~ [[User:Ningauble|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.

== 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. ~ [[User:Kalki|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.[http://en.wikisource.org/w/index.php?title=Author:George_Walker_Bush&diff=prev&oldid=952784][http://en.wikisource.org/w/index.php?title=Author:Barack_Obama&diff=prev&oldid=952785] :)<br />On the downside, I missed the actual swearing in, but did jump downstairs to catch all but the first minute of his speech.

== Bureaucrat status ==

Congratulations, you are now a bureaucrat here at Wikiquote. ~ [[User:Kalki|Kalki]] 19:04, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

You are most welcome, and congratulations! '''[[User:Cirt|Cirt]]''' ([[User talk: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. ;-) &mdash; [[User:RyanCross|<font color="#03C" face="cursive">'''Ryan'''Cross</font>]] ([[User talk:RyanCross|<font color="#03C" face="cursive">''talk''</font>]]) 01:52, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
