Brimstone[edit]

Hey Jeff, thanks for the help with the clean-up! I saw that a bracket was left so I just nixed it. Is there anything else you think I need to do in order to ensure the wiki-quality? The templates were the biggest issue for me, I could not figure out what I was doing wrong. Thanks again! RingWars2007 17:32, 18 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I hate to mention it after all your work on the templates in Brimstone (wrestler), but we don't typically use footnotes for source citations on Wikiquote. Standard source lines are double-bulleted under each quote. (See Wikiquote:Templates/People for our standard structure/formatting example.) When we do use footnotes for quote sources, it's usually to collect a bunch of identical citations with slightly different information, or with much more detail than is necessary for the basic source citation. (Take a look at some of the footnotes in Dean Koontz for a substantial example of the former; Mae West demonstrates the latter.) Even so, many editors feel these end-note citations defeat the requirement to make clear, specific sources obvious for the reader, as it requires a jump to the page bottom to review the source.
I'm not saying you should change it, but don't be surprised if someone else recommends a change or does it themselves. We have some prototype policies on these matters at Wikiquote:Sourcing and Wikiquote:Citing sources, but I believe discussion on them is currently stalled — a not uncommon situation here. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 22:53, 18 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
