Quote questions

With the numbering and formatting, how should we submit quotes in the individual weeks or the unsorted quotes?

May quotes contain dialogue from more than one character?

Must the quote be continuous or can it skip over something relatively brief and irrelevant for purposes of brevity for QotW?--TheOmnius 07:08, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

Seeing as there are unsorted quotes, perhaps they should be sorted into their respective weeks, seeing as how they were initially suggested. Trak Nar Ramble on 05:36, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

The unsorted quotes I just copied over from the previous quote of the week page while I was sorting out the various pages.
As for numbering just use the # symbol at the start of each of the quote nominations so in voting we can just say 'A vote for number 1' etc, rather than having to repeat the quotes and so we can sort it all out easily.
I think they should be continuous, but I suppose it can be judged on a case by case basis. --Tangerineduel 06:51, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
Thanks, that clears up my questions very neatly. Much appreciated, Tangerineduel. (On a side note, do you prefer to be called by the full handle?)--TheOmnius 07:08, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
I don't mind (Tangerine is fine if you don't want to type the extra four characters). I've made a few changes, for spacing and formatting sake, manually numbering is easier than using the # symbol. I've also added a 'how to vote section', just below the nominations section. I'll also be changing the 'unsorted nominations' section to 'Previous Quotes of the Week'.--Tangerineduel 4 February 2009 (UTC)
Thanksthanks, sounds great.--TheOmnius 15:35, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

Quote of the Week themes

Now that the quote of the week system is up and running I was thinking perhaps planning ahead for the coming weeks with some vague themes. Just so we don't keep getting quotes from one series or whatever. Thoughts? --Tangerineduel 14:40, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

  • I'm all for that. Perhaps themes like "Davros quotes", "Fourth Doctor quotes", "Audio quotes", "Quotes from obscure sources", to name a few.
Oh, and since I'm thinking about it right now, perhaps we could also have a QotW archive page? I'll take a quick gander at the one used on Wookieepedia for format and put a test page together tonight. Trak Nar Ramble on 04:24, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
