Latest comment: 10 years ago by Mdd in topic Wikiquote:Limits on quotations
This article falls within a proposed limits on quotations policy.

The subject of this article is a book, and as a result, the proposal would set a limitation of five lines of prose (or eight lines of poetry) for every ten pages.

If you would like to add another quote to the page, you should consider whether to remove one that is already there in order to keep within the bounds of fair use of copyright material.


Wikiquote:Limits on quotations

[edit]

With five lines of prose for every ten pages, this article (from a book of 808 book) may consist of about 400 lines, while the current article consist of about 1100 lines.

Now just today this article has been doubled in size, and as a start that has been undone (see here). -- Mdd (talk) 11:51, 29 May 2014 (UTC)Reply

After trimming the article back, the current version, is about 480 lines, which is about 20% over the Limits on quotations.
Now if you you look at the total size of the article (in the articles history), the current size is (to be precise) 30,909k. To uphold the limit of quotation, it should be approximately just under 25k. -- Mdd (talk) 14:27, 29 May 2014 (UTC)Reply
