I created this quote page. I've added the "checkcopyright" flag because I'm unclear as to how much of an article it's OK to quote.

- That's very conscientious of you. Given that the material is apparently from a 3-page article, but includes 16 quotes, several of which are paragraphs, I'm afraid this is almost certainly a copyvio. One rule of thumb is that, for any work of some substance (i.e., not a short poem or song), 5% is pushing it, and 10% is serious trouble. The point of collecting pithy quotes is not to include every witty thing a person says in a piece, but no more than a few (and maybe only one or two) of the most clever, funny, or otherwise memorable statements. I hope this helps. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 04:02, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks for the information! Yes, the article is three pages, but they're very full pages, with long lines set in tiny fonts, zine-style. Becase the article is set in multiple fonts, it's hard to get an accurate word count, but I've gone through and commented out a lot of the quotes, particularly the longer ones, and I think the percentage is now in a reasonable range.

- I removed the "checkcopyright" flag because I think the article is now OK.
