Forum:CT Archive/LG quote amendment

Hello, Wookieepedians. Another hopefully straightforward, painless CT for your consideration.

Currently, there exists a minor inconsistency between our use of quotes and the site's policy on quotes. Both FAN (Rule 13) and GAN (Rule 12) rules include the following provision for quote use in status articles: Although quotes may be placed in the body of the article, a maximum of one quote is allowed at the beginning of each section. As both reviewers and writers of status articles, the community has taken this to mean that quotes are not to be placed in the middle of paragraphs, but only at the beginning of section titles.

However, Wookieepedia's Layout Guide section on quotes includes the following stipulation regarding this: Quotes are usually placed immediately underneath a heading or subheading, though they can also be used between paragraphs.

I propose we amend this LG statement to mirror the FAN/GAN provision and standardize site-wide quote usage across all articles, not just status articles, according to what is already common practice. The amended LG statement would read: Although quotes may be placed in the body of the article, a maximum of one quote is allowed only at the beginning of each section.

The vote will be a simple support/oppose. Please reserve discussion for the appropriate section below. Thank you. Toprawa and Ralltiir 18:30, September 23, 2010 (UTC)
