Forum:SH Archive/Clarification on citing novels

Hello. I'm not sure if this question's been asked before, but I've been wondering.

I've seen an edit or two where people have deleted quotes received from novels, and I know that Wookiepedia considers Bantam Spectra, Del Rey and DK Publishing all valid publishers, but what about other publishers?

I ask this because the edit I am referring to is in a page that was written in response to the novel Allegience by Timothy Zahn, published by Random House.

A quote was removed there a few months ago with a note saying that quoting prose was against Wookiepedia's regulations.

I find that statement odd, because the same book is cited as the source of the information pertaining to the character's existence.

Could someone please clarify?
