Forum:Junk quotes

After looking through some articles recently, I've noticed that some quote sections are unnecessarily excessively long. Inspired by the junk trivia movement we had, I was wondering if there should be a clean-up of more junk quotes.

By this I mean quotes that repeat information already in the article, such as stating the bankai or the character's name and rank. It'd also include removing quotes that are more about other people, such as a quote from Ichigo about the fact that Rukia is small. If it's so noteworthy, then it can be said in Rukia's article that she's a small person, but it doesn't need to be in his quotes. I'm also on the fence about excessively lengthy quotes and quotes that require sentences from other characters to make sense.

Since the point of the quote section is to reveal the character's personality, I'd like there to be a more concentrated effort to remove ones that don't, as well as more of an effort to be critical when adding quotes. Just because someone said something cool or interesting doesn't necessarily mean it reveals a lot about them - especially when it's clear that it's highlighting someone else's character or talking about a place or thing, rather than the character the article's about. Plus, we have the Bleach Wiki:Featured Quote, so people can put and vote for their favorite quotes to have them featured, even if they aren't revealing enough of the individual's personality to add to his/her article.

But I thought I'd get some input on this first. Twocents 04:37, November 17, 2009 (UTC)
