Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Kully. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Kully~enwikiquote that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:27, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Anarky

Anarky (Lonnie Machin) is a fictional character in the DC Comics Universe. Co-created by Alan Grant and Norm Breyfogle, he first appeared in Detective Comics #608 (November 1989) as an adversary of Batman, and other DC comic book heroes and villains.

Stories revolving around Anarky often focus on political and philosophical themes. Named after the philosophy of anarchism, his creation was partially influenced by Alan Moore's character "V" from V for Vendetta. With Grant's transition to the philosophy of Neo-Tech, Anarky was transformed from a vehicle for socialist and populist philosophy, to rationalist, atheist, and free market based thought.

Anarky series
 "Metamorphosis"
 * Volume 1, issues 1–4
 * "This is Politics: 'Do what you're told or we'll punish you.'  This is Religion: 'Suffer misery now so you can be happy after death.'  This is Philosophy: 'The Universe came from nothing, and will one day return to it.'  None of these doctrines stands up to rational analysis."
 * "I don't believe in god. In the future, we will all be responsible for our own acts."
 * Source: "Metamorphosis" (part one), Anarky (vol.1) #1, May 1997; by Alan Grant.
 * "Quoting Einstein out of context, they say that good and evil are relative; that there are no moral absolutes. They lie. Only two laws are needed to change the entire universe: never use initiatory force, and never cheat. The people who run our world constantly break both.
 * "My pocket dictionary defines evil as 'bad, harmful.' But that's only half the story. Evil needs to be intentional."
 * "Science is magic explained..."
 * Source: "Metamorphosis" (part two), Anarky (vol.1) #2, June 1997; by Alan Grant.
 * "In 1995, the countries of southeast asia spent $435 billion on military expenditure-- Not because the people demanded it, you understand; how many peasants do you know who've started wars? Mao Tse-Tung spouted a lot of nonsense, but he sure got one thing right: 'all (political) power comes out the barrel of a gun.'  You don't believe me, do you? You live in a democracy. You vote for your leaders-- So tell me -- what happens if you want to disobey them? Say you don't like the President. You object to paying taxes to support him, his family, his pets, his bodyguards and his friends he wangled jobs for. What do you do? Or say you don't like your taxes being used to subsidize foreign arms sales for slaughter in the third world. How can you stop it? Vote for somebody else, whose policy is the same? Don't vote? The government pretends to be there to serve you. In reality, it's there to tell you what to do-- If you refuse to obey, you'll be investigated--arrested--criminalized. Your assets will be seized and given to the state. You will be jailed. And that's the 'free' America -- -- Imagine what it's like in Iraq."
 * "Albert Einstein said that 'The only justifiable purpose of political institutions is to ensure the unhindered development of the individual.' But our institutions are the opposite.  They enslave us -- Rule us by fear and deceit!  They'd gladly bomb us back into the stone age!  They don't want the common man to be anything but a slave!  The world has gone wrong.  But I swear by every breath in my body-- I will put it right again!"
 * Source: "Metamorphosis" (part three), Anarky (vol.1) #3, July 1997; by Alan Grant.
 * "Imagine – you’re a child again. Filled with innocence, and wonder, and life. Remember how good it felt? That’s what the parasites stole from us. They bled us dry. And like sheep we lined up to give more blood. But we can have back all that they stole, and more. The information age provides a spotlight the parasites can’t squirm away from. Identify them. Negate their evil. Ostracize them. Step with me into a better world."
 * Source: "Metamorphosis" (part four), Anarky (vol.1) #4, August 1997; by Alan Grant.

Other publications

 * "Greetings, Gotham City. My name is Anarky. (...) I believe in the absolute freedom of the individual.  I believe that the present order must be abolished.  I believe that the voice of the people must be heard... listened to... and obeyed! ...I would like to extend this warning to the whole city: you are either part of the solution, or part of the problem.  Look into your own hearts.  Decide which you are and choose well-- for if you are an enemy of the people -- Anarky will seek you out... and destroy you!"

 * "'The essence of anarchy is constant surprise.' Spontaneity... Lao-Tse knew, and all those other old chinese guys.  So how come we all forgot along the way?  How come you can be wise once upon a time, and two thousand years later you're ignorant as a pig?  Doesn't really matter.  The dinosaurs are dead, only they don't know it yet.  They need someone like Anarky to bring home the news.  The Dark Ages are passing -- and their heroes will pass with them.  The city needs a new breed of hero.  The night needs a new kind of monster.  Anarky.
 * "I always knew I'd get off on this part of it. There's something just feels so good about... destruction.  But not destruction for its own sake.  This is a cleansing... A ridding of the old...  It's necessary."
 * The essence of anarchy is surprise... Spontaneity. Lao-Tse knew!"
 * Source: "Anarky in Gotham" (part two), Detective Comics #609, December 1989; by Alan Grant.

 * "The essence of anarchy is surprise -- spontaneous action... even when it does require a little planning!
 * "Democracy... Hah! There's a laugh.  They pretend that it works -- pretend that the voice of the people, spoken through its elected representatives will be heard.  Trash!  The world is run by elites -- bankers, the military, government agencies.  Criminals all.  They prey like vampires on their victims...!  I've been thinking a lot about elites lately.  How they come to power --  How to stop them!"

 * Source: "Anarky", The Batman Adventures #31, April 1995; by Alan Grant.

 * "The authoritarian system we live under is set to benefit a tiny minority — an all-powerful elite gets obscenely rich, while billions are cheated out of realizing their true potential. But the system is rotten.  It's ripe for collapse.  It's the duty of every revolutionary — everyone of us — to hasten that collapse...  It's not a crime to fight injustice... The system's conditioned us — hypnotized nearly everybody into accepting that life has to be the way it is.  We're hypnotized into believing war is natural — famine is natural — crime is natural... but they're not.  They're products of the system and its all-consuming greed! People have become robots — zombies — too busy scrambling for day-to-day existence to be able to see they're really victims.  It's up to us to open their eyes. From cradle to grave, we're taught — indoctrinated! — that happiness depends on always getting more.  Buy — throw away — buy more!  Doesn't matter if we destroy the planet on the way!  Politicians say they can fix the world's problems.  Just give them more power.  Religions say do more of what they order and you'll be happy — but only after you're dead! They've been making the same hollow promises for thousands of years, and we, the people — the sheep — have listened.  But it's time to wake up and smell the coffee — the days of external authority and force-backed power are numbered... that's the way the system is set up!  A sham democracy that acts as a front for the elite's ambitions... It doesn't have to be like that.  We can change it!"

Alan Grant and Norm Breyfogle, creators of Anarky
"Although super-heroes' primary goal is to entertain, they also have the potential to meet this higher challenge, and I like to think that Anarky is leading the charge. After all, it's his very nom de guerre and purpose for existing!"
 * "I felt he was the perfect character (to express Neo-Tech philosophy) because he's human, he has no special powers, the only power he's got is the power of his own rational consciousness."
 * Source: Alan Grant, Holy Penis Collapsor Batman! DC Publishes The First Zonpower Comic Book!?!?!, 4-8-1997.
 * "...Norm and I (like I said, we’re very different people) agree with Anarky’s perception of what’s wrong with the world. It is something we feel very strongly about. Although we want the book to be very entertaining, as all comic books have to be, we’re trying to say something else; there is another viewpoint of the world from another direction. You might see that you’re being conned. It is quite difficult to present that in an entertaining fashion. We’ve succeeded, I think, largely in part to Norman’s artwork. It’s as dynamic as anything I’ve ever seen him do. He draws Anarky as if he loves the character."
 * Source: Alan Grant, A State of Anarky,  1-13-1998.
 * "Anarky’s world clashes as much with the traditional world of superheroes as it does with the world of crime. So the interplay between him and Green Lantern and him and Superman is not the usual kind of hero interplay."
 * Source: Alan Grant, A State of Anarky,  1-13-1998.
 * "(Anarky is) a philosophical action hero, an Aristotle in tights, rising above mere "crime-fighter" status into the realm of incisive social commentary. In fact, Anarky exists primarily to challenge the status quo of hierarchical power, and he may be the first mainstream comics hero of his type to do it consistently and with such rational intelligence...
 * Source: Norm Breyfogle, Batman: Anarky introduction, 1999.
 * "I'm amused by Alan's originally grooming Anarky to be the new Robin; the Robin role now seems too small for him!"
 * Source: Norm Breyfogle, Batman: Anarky introduction, 1999.
 * "We don’t have any conclusive evidence, but Alan and I can’t help but feel that Anarky’s philosophy grated on somebody’s nerves; somebody got a look at it and didn’t like it.... So I’ve generally gotten the impression that Anarky was nixed because of its philosophy. Especially in this age of post 9/11, Anarky would be a challenge to established authority.  He’s very anti-establishment, that’s why he’s named Anarky!"
 * Source: Norm Breyfogle, Norm Breyfogle @ Adelaide Comics and Books, 2003.
 * "Anarky, of course, was among the best, if not the best, of the characters Alan created. Alan really created him—along with the other characters—and I was just along for the ride and lucky to be there."

 * "[Anarky] became—even more than Batman—a more synergistic element between Alan and me. It was the fruition of our professional relationship in that we were discussing (through faxes) a lot of the philosophical issues, day by day, that Alan was putting into the Anarky storyline."

Others

 * "In the age of the anti-hero, it only makes sense to have the occasional anti-villain as well. But unlike sociopathic vigilante anti-heroes like the Punisher, an anti-villain like Anarky provides some interesting food for thought. Sure, he breaks the law, but what he really wants is to save the world... and maybe he's right."

 * "Anarky is my favorite comic-book character... Anarky represents an impressive voice for liberty in today's comics."
 * Source: Roderick Long, Anarky Page praxeology.net, 2002.
 * "Everyone always goes on about what a radical Ollie (Green Arrow) is and I wanted to show that maybe that isn’t the case … especially as Ollie’s radical credentials are pretty antiquated... Anarky as a character - and as a broader idea - is much more radical than Ollie... Also, Anarky is a terrorist! How can that not be interesting in the modern climate?"
 * Source: James Peatty, James Peatty Pens Green Arrow, 2005.
 * "Anarky is one of the more interesting characters of the past fifteen or twenty years, not only because he's a teenager (which is a wonderful revelation in #609) but because of what he wants to accomplish. Anarky is a direct contrast to Batman. He is an active agent of change while Batman is simply a reactive agent, reinforcing the status quo (as all corporate superheroes do) and positioning himself as the opposition to Anarky even though Lonnie, the teenager under the mask, is trying to make the world better instead of simply stopping at beating up the obvious criminals... Lonnie is a fascinating character in that he has a sense of humor (as evidenced by the A-symbol he spray-paints on Batman's cape after the Dark Knight has captured him) and he's very smart. He is able to show how ineffective Batman is against the real problems of society, and although Batman stops his spree, we find ourselves sympathizing much more with Anarky than with the representative of the status quo... Grant obviously liked the character, and he is one of those creations that you wish was used better in the DC Universe. Anarchy as a concept is often dismissed, but it's worth looking at simply because it is so radical and untenable, yet still noble."

The Matrix: Path of Neo

The Matrix: Path of Neo is the third video game set in the Matrix universe, and follows the series main protagonist, Neo.

Morpheus

 * You take the blue pill [opens his right hand revealing blue pill], the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill [opens his left hand revealing red pill], you stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes.
 * [If Neo took the blue pill] Perhaps I was wrong about you, Neo. I'm sorry you won't be joining us.
 * Between the coming of the One and the end of the war, Neo's presence within the Matrix sparked a new exodus of Potentials. But, because they were unable to stop Neo, the Machines turned their attention to those within their grasp. Sentinels set a trap for one of our ships (evergreen), and from the ship's mainframe, they extracted a list of Potentials. The Agents have leveled their wrath on the helpless, and Neo was the only one who can stand against them.

Dialogue

 * [watching Neo and Seraph spar in front of the movie screen and go back into the movie]
 * Theater Heckler: Give me a great big W.T.F.

 * [watching Neo and Seraph spar in front of the movie screen]
 * Theater Heckler: No, no, hold on. I get it. I get it. The guy in the black jacket is the savior of mankind. This fight with the other guy is some kind of test, right? Right? Nah, too far-fetched.

 * Red Pill Security Guard: [while you chase him up the stairs of the monastery] GET AWAY FROM ME!
 * Neo: Think about it. If you killed me, then I wouldn't be here.

Cast

 * Andrew Bowen – Neo (Thomas A. Anderson)
 * Laurence Fishburne – Morpheus
 * Jennifer Hale – Trinity
 * Christopher Corey Smith – Agent Smith
 * Kimberly Brooks – Niobe

Wikiquote:Votes for deletion/Wolfenstein 3D

A lot of sound and fury, but in the end signifying virtually nothing. I see 5 deletes, 1 keep, and 1 absention (Herby's withdrawn vote) from editors who have demonstrated a minimum measure of good-faith editing, and I discount the remaining 6 deletes and 2 keeps that came from editors who appear to be sockpuppets of each other who have brought an old Wikipedia anime battle to Wikiquote. We don't have confirmation of this yet, but we have plenty of evidence of bad-faith editing of many varieties from these new usernames. Special thanks to Eris11, a new editor who tried to defend this article with calm and reason amid all this confusion. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 04:43, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

Wolfenstein 3D
This page looks to just be all the short sound bites from various enemies in the game. Nothing is longer than five words (except "Hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo ha ha ha ha!"), with nothing particularly meaningful (the game was basically all about shooting, not about dialogue). —LrdChaos (talk) 13:25, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Vote closes: 14:00, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Vote extended to 14:00, 21 June 2007 (UTC), for more consideration and potential developments in general electronic-game article guidelines. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 22:42, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

 * Keep - Zarbon 14:19, 7 June 2007 (UTC) I'm going to add more quotes from the various other wolfenstein games and the short quotes themselves are widely popularized. Plus, I added heavily to the follow-up game as well, surpassing the short quotes but maintaining a good article.

 * Comment - "give it time?" To WHAT? Be more illegal? Hells no! Lord Frieza 19:23, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as bordering on a copyright violation. There is no evidence anyone has ever actually quoted any of these, is there? Fys. “Ta fys aym”. 22:46, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Response - I just want to point out to Fys that everything I added is quoted and relevant. Nothing is created. I don't add copyright violations. - Zarbon 04:07, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
 * You don't seem to understand. Copyright comes in where you copy someone else's creative work, or part of it. A video game is a creative work. If an article on Wikiquote includes a copy of a substantial part of a video game soundtrack, then it may be regarded as a copyright violation. For example, if someone copies out the whole soundtrack of a film that would be a copyright violation, whereas it would be allowed to quote just the most well-known lines. Fys. “Ta fys aym”. 10:16, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Then I can more than positively reassure you that it isn't even 1/10th of the soundtrack and/or speech that takes place within the games. For example, Return to Castle Wolfenstein has over thirty times the amount of talking that goes on in comparison to what I posted. Hence, it's only the highlight quotations from the game. - Zarbon 15:53, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
 * I haven't played RtCW, so I can't speak with any authority as to whether you're right or not about how much dialogue it has, but really, that doesn't matter. You've included just about every single quote, no matter how insignificant, pointless, or irrelevant, from "Wolfenstein 3D", and that is copyright violation, because it violates the copyright on Wolf3D. It doesn't matter much other stuff you add to the page to dilute the presence of that stuff; the fact of the matter is that every single quotation from the game is reproduced here, and just adding more quotes from other games is extraordinarily unlikely (I would say 99.99999999999999% impossible, if not more) to tip the balance to fair use. —LrdChaos (talk) 14:08, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

 * Comment: We're going to continue to have problems with video game articles until we come up with some practical style and structure guidelines. Even though they are usually not known for their dialogue, it is possible that some may have pithy statements. Unlike wrestling articles, we don't have an existing formatting guideline to help conscientious editors (like Zarbon, of late) to achieve specific goals. In case I don't catch this before the deadline and the problems haven't been resolved or the issue definitively decided by then, I agree with Herby's suggestion to give this discussion more time. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 23:40, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

 * Comment: Alright, the vote currently stands at 4:2 in favor of keep. Myself, Recoome, Herbythyme, and Jeffq feel the article should be kept and worked on furthermore through time, while Fys and UDScott have voted for deletion. - Zarbon 20:14, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Zarbon, please stop striking or characterizing other people's votes. These are sensitive practices that should only be done by sysops who have gained the trust of the community to consider all factors in a VfD discussion, and are expected to follow the Deletion policy that they have carefully read, as well as other practices that they have learned through experience. Further attempts to interfere with a VfD discussion, however well-intentioned, may result in a temporary block. Please note that VfD-closing sysops take into consideration the Wikiquote experience of the participants, and typically discount any votes registered by editors who show practically no involvement in Wikiquote except in the deletion discussion, or editors who register votes as part of vandalism, prank editing, or other disruptive activity. We usually reserve striking votes only for those editors who register duplicate votes or forged signatures. Again, these judgment calls should be left to the people who the community has entrusted to make these calls. For the record, neither Herby nor I have yet voted to "keep". Herby has refrained from recording an explicit vote, awaiting further action. I have only commented that we might extend the discussion deadline. Our comments might persaude a sysop to extend the vote, but if tallied, they would count as "undecided" or "neutral". And you didn't count LrdChaos's nomination, which is considered an implicit delete unless it specfically indicates unsurety. If I were to tally the vote right this minute, I would discount Master Batour (Cui), Taracka, and Freiza (for the aforementioned reasons), total up, with Cato's subsequent vote, a 4-to-2 consensus to delete (using 2/3 minimum for consensus), but probably hold off a closure and extend the vote in the hope (however unlikely) that we will come up with some practical guidelines for video-game articles in the next week. Your concerted efforts to improve the article are the kind of thing that usually sways VfD participants to support a "keep", but your frequent overreaching undermines this good work. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 23:18, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Despite the further work, there is nothing here that is a sensible, worthwhile quote and I do not believe that there will be.--Cato 21:10, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

 * Jeffq, I forgot to count LrdChaos because he opened the vote. I admit that as a mistake, however, the fact that you yourself mentioned and typically discount any votes registered by editors who show practically no involvement in Wikiquote except in the deletion discussion, or editors who register votes as part of vandalism, prank editing, or other disruptive activity. This is why I kept crossing this sockpuppeteers vandalisms. For one, the only activity is here on the deletion page like I mentioned and his numerical ip is more than close to comfort. I am going to be level-headed here and allow you to work things out, but I don't want articles to get deleted because of poor involvement of adminship, etc. Thanks again for conveying this to me, although I'd appreciate it if you believe me more often since I am after all, trying to help add pages that will benefit wikiquote in the long run. Also, UDScott and FYS both mentioned that the error of the pages was the short quotations themselves and I added a lot more after that, so what reason would they have to counter the existence of the page...I mean, the only person who substantially votes against the page the way it is now is Cato. Am I right or wrong? I already discussed this with FYS and UDScott. I guess they haven't gotten the chance to change their votes yet. The page is no longer limited to less than five word quotes. In it is a compendium of three games, with numerous quotations from each to help the survival of the article. - Zarbon 00:16, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Are you right or wrong? I'm afraid you are wrong, Zarbon. Editors who vote to delete often try to improve the article to head off their own recommended deletions (at least here on Wikiquote). Many of the regular VfD participants would much rather see articles improved than deleted, and we recognize a fundamental principle of wikis — the people who identify the problems are frequently the only ones that can be expected to fix them. I have often done major surgery on articles that were ultimately deleted, even with my approval. I don't consider this wasted effort for two reasons. First, it does happen sometimes that experienced editors demonstrating how to improve an article can inspire newer editors to further that work, so that deletion may be avoided. Second, even when an article is deleted, it may be resurrected at a later date or the material provided to editors who wish to work on it offline for future resurrection. These are all things that one learns with a lot of wiki experience on a wide variety of articles and regular engagement in adminstrative work — experience all sysops can lay claim to. Your lack of awareness of this and other delicate issues is why you should avoid trying to draw conclusions and making bold moves against users in these discussions. Leave the sysop work to the sysops. And if you pester conscientious editors to change their votes, as I said before, you may achieve exactly the opposite effect. All of these actions are an implicit statement (and pretty loud one, given your unshakable persistence) that you don't respect the judgment of these editors, which is not the way to win an argument. And just to head off the next question, there may not be any way to win this argument. But if you simply must push this, might I suggest that you study Templates and its subpages to see how we structure and format articles, read Sourcing for some feel for what we want in sourcing and what problems can occur in different genres (e.g., electronic-game vs. TV-show vs. people articles), and consider creating a draft electronic-games template? (If you do, I suggest creating it in a user subpage.) Giving the community a proposal to work with is far more effective than complaining, and would probably serve your purpose better even than more work on the Wolfenstein 3D article itself. Again, I offer no guarantees, but a proper EG template is a sore need that the rest of us might get behind if you start it, and could improve both your case and your reputation here. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 02:43, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Jeffq, I'm not even going to contest any of the things you just mentioned. For one, I agree with you fully and like I said earlier, I will not pull any other sysop maneuvres. I am going to take your earlier advice though, and continue to revert any vandalism I see come to the pages. You don't have to tell me twice about the sysop issue, I am completely agreeing with you. - Zarbon 05:09, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment. I notice that Zarbon has done a lot of work to the page. However, I stand by my vote for deletion, for a couple of reasons. First, the page itself is titled "Wolfenstein 3D", which is one single game. However, the page includes quotes from two other games, "Spear of Destiny" and "Return to Castle Wolfenstein"; while these games are a prequel and a sequel respectively, they are not "Wolfenstein 3D". This problem is easily corrected either by splitting the other games into separate pages, or the preferable renaming of the "Wolfenstein 3D" page to encompass the entire series. My second reason for deletion, however, is that the largest percentage of quotes on that page are the boss quotes; "(when dying) Ahhhhh! (painful scream)" is not now, nor will it ever be, worth including in Wikiquote. Thirdly, between the "Common Enemies", "Wolfenstein 3D Bosses", and "Wolfenstein 3D Storyline", nearly every single quote from the game is present. This is copyvio, pure and simple. I've never played "Spear of Destiny", but I imagine we have a similar situation for that. As for "Return to Castle Wolfenstein", I haven't played that one either but I'm willing to consider that it might have more in the way of dialogue, but I don't know to what degree. —LrdChaos (talk) 14:04, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

 * LrdChaos, I agree about the split. Return to castle wolfenstein, like I mentioned above, has more than ten times the dialogue that I added. And about the wolf 3d and spear games, the quotations are short but memorable. I also don't think that it's all the quotes from spear of destiny, because I only added one storyline quote whereas I added approximately fifty percent of the quotes from wolf3d's storyline, but still not all. I can, however, show every single quote just to prove that it isn't a copyvio since the percentage of quotes added are as follows:

wolf3d: 50% spear of destiny: 30% return to castle wolfenstein: 5%

Also, return to castle wolfenstein relied very heavily on dialogue, yes, that's why there's longer quotes. But to rule out games just because they have short quotations isn't really a reason. Lots of games on wikiquote now have short quotes. I'm pretty sure that the wolf3d quotes are more than legendary at this point, because of the amount of fame they have garnered. On a second basis of thought, a split isn't a bad idea, where we can link each article to the other through "see also". But to blatantly delete after I tried so hard to compile them...I don't know, it would just be meaningless. - Zarbon 16:45, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

 * I don't think you're too familiar with what constitutes a copyright violation. While there's no hard and fast rule that says "under x% it's ok, over is wrong", it's fairly obvious that copying 50% of something is going to be a violation (it's been a few years since I last played Wolfenstein 3D, but I would definitely put the figure copied much higher, at at least 75%). I'd argue that 30% is definitely pushing it, too. For that matter, even 5% could potentially be troublesome, though this is less likely and there are other factors that would go in to making a determination about whether it's fair use or not. But really, copyright is only one of the issues involved here. As I've already said twice, the content of many of the quotes on the page are so short, unoriginal, and meaningless that they have no place in Wikiquote; in particular, the "boss" quotes and the "common enemy" ones. No one is voting here out of spite for you, but the fact that you've put effort into trying to fix the page does not guarantee anything except reconsideration by some. As JeffQ mentioned, there are plenty of times where people put effort into an article and it's still deleted. —LrdChaos (talk) 19:27, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes, I understand full well what you're saying. I'm just saying that, for example, the boss quotes may seem meaningless to you, but they are very very popular and loved by many gamers and fans alike. Just because you feel that they may be meaningless, doesn't actually make them meaningless. That's all I'm trying to convey. And more than once is it probable that very short quotes are highly memorable to longer ones. In this scenario, it works well, since the game's quotes were so well remembered by fans. I hated games such as the Final Fantasy series and the Metal Gear Solid series, but I don't go around saying that the quotes are bad, etc. It's more than highly probable that many people love them while others do not. It's the same case here. No where is there a rule where a quote has to exceed 5 words...or anything else for that matter. I wouldn't be saying this if I really didn't love the game, but the fact that I love the game isn't the only reason. It's also the fact that the game was groundbreaking and the quotes are considered legendary at this time, especially when it comes to redefining the fps genre. Basically, what one person doesn't care for or doesn't find worthwhile to keep, another person may love more than anything. Which in this case, I think I've proven that many people love the aforementioned quotes. - Zarbon 20:47, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
 * While you're right that there's "rule where a quote has to exceed five words", but typically very short quotes like that one lack any meaning. Some fans might find them funny, but they have no larger appeal; this is especially true in the case of "quotes" which are nothing more than a transcription of laughter or a scream, but also applies to lots of the others. I think you're being quite disingenuous when you say that the original Wolfenstein 3D quotes are somehow legendary, or were involved in "redefining the FPS genre." For one thing, Wolfenstein 3D, as one of the first FPS games, didn't so much redefine the genre as help to define it in the first place, but the quotes had nothing to do with it. Laughter and screams especially are never unique and have no place in Wikiquote under any reasonable standard. For most of other short quotes, I can't see how anyone could possibly consider them "legendary." They're so short, and common (the fact that they're in German doesn't really change that) that I suspect that most people who played the game "back in the day" have long forgotten them. I know I had, and contrary to your insuation, I didn't hate the game, I loved it. My comments about the quotes have everything to do with the substance—or lack thereof—of the quotes, and are completely unrelated to the merits of the game in a larger context. —LrdChaos (talk) 20:24, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

 * Comment: I don't appreciate your sarcasm Zarbon. Not kidding, what other non-notable games are on this website? Maybe they all should be deleted. You don't see Resident Evil referencing to the games, do you? Thought Final Fantasy could speak for itself; those games are very well heard-of, recognizable and last, but not least, notable. Link 20:27, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment: You have a problem with not appreciating sarcasm, but you seem to be fine with degrading the first fps game ever made in history. I personally do dislike final fantasy and resident evil both, final fantasy more than most. But I don't think it doesn't deserve a page. Same goes for all notable games. But to compare the likes of final fantasy to a first in an entire genre would be nonsense. final fantasy was neither groundbreaking nor legendary. but this isn't the debate here. it's whether or not the game, this game, should have a page. i don't see your reasoning. you just said you don't think game articles should have pages. fine, but why only degrade this game. why not degrade all other game articles. you just decided to post here just because this was open. you don't really care whether or not the page is deleted, whereas I personally care strongly. - Zarbon 03:50, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - I see how it is now. This has the exact same copyright problems like dbz which I fully understand how to make it deleted. Sk8terhata 18:50, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
 * This user has been blocked as a likely sockpuppet of Wiki-star, who is also suspected of being Zarbon based on a recent CheckUser report. See WQ:AN. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 19:15, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep - The Wolfenstein article clearly needs to be edited, not deleted. Zarbon has put in am impressive amount of work and that justifies editing, not deleting, his article.  No one on here has been able to sufficiently define copyright infringement.  I would agree that 50% of the total dialogue is a bit much and that screams of pain are unnecessary quotes but there should be some sort of discernable standard to adhere to. In the mean time, stop spitting venom at each other. FYS, LrdChaos, defend your claims with substantial, clearly defined standards.  Zarbon, stop getting so defensive. Keep the article. Eris11 12:38, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete unimportant game, doesn't matter what Zarbon put into it, basically no one's even heard about it (like me) and it really doesn't have enough reminiscent quotes from the game itself to justify the page's existence. Is this like the longest poll ever on wikiquote for something like it or what? Brendan Filone 15:22, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
 * This user is a suspected sockpuppet of Wiki-star and/or Zarbon and has since been indefinitely blocked. And, no, this isn't the longest poll, by far. If you were competing for a prize… sorry. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 04:28, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

Mani Madhava Chakyar

Guru Mani Madhava Chakyar (Māni Mādhava Chākyār) (15 February 1899 – 14 January 1990) was a celebrated master performance artist and Sanskrit scholar from Kerala, India, considered to be the greatest Chakyar Koothu and Kutiyattam (2000 year old Sanskrit theatre tradition) artist and authority of modern times. He was considered as the authority of Abhinaya (Classical Indian acting style) and Nātyaśāstra.

Sourced

 * “This is the first award I received...In fact, I consider this priceless. This was presented to me by Sri. Godavarma Bhattan Thampuran of Kodungallur (Cranganore) Palace years ago. I was only 22 then. Those were days when Kodungallur used to witness the best assembly of scholars in Sanskrit and the sasthras. Present on that day were several highly learned men and women. The stage was in front of Sringapuram temple. I presented Bhagavad Dooth Prabhantham Koothu. My interpretation of one of the slokas was a little more elaborate than and different from the custom-worn treatment. The audience liked it. In appreciation, Bhattan Thampuran removed this ring from his finger and put it on mine. The spontaneous gesture in recognition of my art naturally is the most precious to me ” -Guru Māni Mādhava Chākyār, about his prized possession- the golden ring from the great scholar H.H Bhattan Thampuran

 * “At least Bharatanatyam is now world famous, with thousands of new votaries. What about Koodiyattam?.....I have done what I can. It has not been easy. One has to sacrifice a lot to learn Koodiyattam. How many persons will be ready for it these days? Will there be an audience capable of imbibing it? ” -Shri. Māni Mādhava Chākyār to famous Bharatanatyam dancer Rukmini Dev Arundale, while latter visitited Guru at his residence

 * "My own people condemned my action (performing Koothu and Kutiyattam outside the precincts of the temples), Once, after I had given performances at Vaikkom, they even thought about excommunicating me. I desired that this art should survive the test of time. That was precisely why I ventured outside the temple" - Guru about the difficulties he had faced from hardliners when he tok Koothu and Kutiyattam outside the temples and performing it for common man.

 * "It is not the favourable conditions, but most deprived circumstances that mould an artist” - about the struggles that he had undergone in his life as an artist.

Abhinaya and Netrābhinaya

 * “Mani Madhava Chakyar when he portrayed Arjuna on the first evening and Ravana on the second, showed himself a master of the expression of the eye” - Dr. V Raghavan, renowned scholar of Sanskrit dramaturgy, classical Indian dance and music, connoisseur of art and former director of Samskritaranga- Chennai, 1962.

 * “When i say Abhinaya, oh, I can't do the abhinaya like what the great man did here yesterday” - Great Bharatanatyam dancer Balasaraswati next day after Chakyar's lecture-demonstration at Madras Music Academy in 1973.

 * “Mani Madhava Chakyar was the personification of all the greatness of this rich Indian classical art tradition” - Kapila Vatsyayan (leading scholar of classical Indian dance), 1990

 * “He had his own style. He could convey his thoughts through expressions. His eye movement was superb!” Birju Maharaj- great Kathak dancer, selecting him as one of the ten finest dancers he has known, 2000

 * “the greatest eye-wizard of the world!” - Stella Kramrisch - Curator of Indian Art, Philadelphia Museum of Art, USA, c1980

 * “No one is like the Emperor of Abhinaya- Mani Madhava Chakyar, and there won't be any” - Prof. Maria Christopher Byrski (first foreigner disciple of Guru and Kutiyattam), Department of Indology, Warsaw University, 1987

 * “his Netraabhinaya is simply incomparable" - Kapila Vatsyayan (leading scholar of classical Indian dance), 1990

 * "Mani Madhava Chakyar's forte was Satwikabhinaya. Endowed with expressive eyes; that can speak a thousand moods and a countenance that can reflect the range of human emotions in its entirety, Mani Madhava Chakkiar was the master at work" - Mani Madhava Chakkyar: The Master at Work (film), 1994

 * "(Guru Mani Madhava Chakiar) began playing the dual role of Parvati and Shiva...sat on a wooden chair...I have never ever seen a Parvati so exquisitely beautiful. I have never seen a Shiva so handsome and so cunning. I sat there and wept as if I were alone in the presence of God. I then realized what theatre was all about — the falsehood of that old man made me arrive at a state where inhibitions and convictions, all became so fluid and beautiful. And this vision has remained with me always" - Dr. Vijaya Mehta (Executive Director, National Center for Performing Arts- Bombay, acclaimed Indian theatre personality) about her experience of watching 72 year old Guru's Abhinaya of Parvativiraha

 * “Eyes, what an eloquent pair he has! He is able to express with them even the slightest difference in the mood” - L.S Rajagopalan (noted art critic), 1990

 * “With a few movements of the eye, he could manifest the mountains, the ocean, the rivers, the moonlit valleys, torrential rain, the gait of the swan and the elephant, a tornado, the opening of the lotus flowers and a lot else. To see him do it was to know that he was a non-pareil” - P.T. Narendra Menon (noted art critic and poet), 1990

 * “(I got introduced to) the late and great Mani Madhava Cakyar’s King Udayana in Svapnavasavadatta. In what may have been among his last performances on the public stage I was fortunate to see Sri Cakyar, who at an advanced age, literally threw away his walking stick as he entered the stage to become a sprightly royal lover pining away for his beloved Vasavadatta. At his home in Likkadi he demonstrated the nava rasas... Sri Cakyar vividly illustrated to me that kutiyattam acting has the power to transform even the oldest person into the character he portrays” - Prof. Farley P. Richmond (Expert on Indian theatre), Department of Theatre and Film Studies, University of Georgia.

 * “His eyes were the unrivaled wonder of Abhinaya” - P.T. Narendra Menon (connoisseur of art), 1990

 * “Mani Madhava Chakyar was performing sikhinisalabha... Butterflies fly all around. Some of them fell into the fire below. The anguish was reflected in the actor’s eyes. Ha! There they come out without a burn! What a relief! They came again. The actor continued the performance. Only his eyes move… The audience was spellbound. They did not know that an hour has passed!” - About his world famous abhinaya of the shloka shikhinisalabha from Subhadradhananjayam.

 * “Late Shri. Cakyar, was not just a skilled exponent and a capable teacher of Kutiyattam, his wisdom and depth of knowledge made him worthy of the title "Acharya" ” - Dr. Prem Lata Sharma (noted Hindi writer and scholar of Indian arts and literature), 1994

 * “His historic talent was backed up by extraordinary erudition. Behind his wizardry with the eyes lay sustained practice undertaken with devotion and discipline” - L.S Rajagopalan (noted art critic), 1990

 * "To Guru Mani Madhava Chakyar, Kutiyattam was more than art, it was life itself" - Mani Madhava Chakkyar: The Master at Work (film) - Kavalam N. Panickar, 1994

 * “Mani Madhava Cakyar with his unfailing urge for complicated, difficult and minute details has enriched the art during the decades of his unparalleled performing life without permitting even an iota of compromise regarding the essentials of traditional style. He has served his Kuladharma ever since his maiden appearance with tireless effort, enthusiasm, perseverance and vigor. He introduced new forms to improve this art form without impairing its tradition. The effectiveness of these innovations which only a genius could visualise and perform has already been proved several times“ - "The Hindu (1989)"

 * ''"The eyes of Kudiyattam has closed forever...the great lineage of Sanskrit theatre is adversely hit by the loss of this genious" - K. P. Narayana Pisharoty (Kutiyattam scholar) in 1990, on the death of Guru Mani Madhava Chakiar.

 * "...Mani Madhava Chakyar, the overarching titan of 20th-century Koodiyattam, whose histrionic powers and focused scholarship eventually gave his art world-wide audience (and a Unesco recognition)" - "The New Indian Express (2011)"

Nātyakalpadrumam

 * “The depth of creativity of the author (Mani Madhava Chakyar) is evident from the introductory Shlokas (hymns in Sanskrit) itself ” - Dr. Prem Lata Sharma (noted Hindi writer and scholar of Indian arts and literature)

My interpretation of one of the slokas was a little more elaborate than and different from the custom-worn treatment. The audience liked it. In appreciation, Bhattan Thampuran removed this ring from his finger and put it on mine. The spontaneous gesture in recognition of my art naturally is the most precious to me ” -Guru Māni Mādhava Chākyār, about his prized possession- the golden ring from the great scholar H.H Bhattan Thampuran

 * “Scholars of Paderevski Foundation who were fortunate enough to have witnessed the fragments of Swapnavāsavadattam as performed by your splendid actors, were unanimous in their praise of the high cultural and aesthetic level of the Koodiyattam. It was a most enjoyable experience and the Paderevski Founadtion is proud to have co-sponsored the appearances of the Theatre in Northern India” - Paderewski Foundation (New York) Certificate (New Delhi, 1964) - First International recognition for Kutiyattam and the maestro.

 * “..I felt angry when I learnt that a great artist like Mani Madhava Chakyar was awarded a mere Padma Shri. A man of his artistic genius and erudition deserved to be decorated with the highest state honour (Bharat Ratna)” - RKG (Editor, The Illustrated Weekly, Columnist for Times of India), 2000

 * “Has the Centre ever considered the merits of a phenomenal Kudiyattam exponent like Mani Madhav Chakkiyar - true genius?” - Leela Venkatraman- art critic, The Hindu, 1998

Quotes

 * During the feminist seventies men were caught between a rock and a hard-on; in the fathering eighties they are caught between good hugs and bad hugs.
 * "From Captain Marvel to Captain Valium", in Reflections in a Jaundiced Eye (1989)

 * Self-help books are making life downright unsafe. Women desperate to catch a man practice all the ploys recommended by these authors. Bump into him, trip over him, knock him down, spill something on him, scald him, but meet him.
 * "Does Your Child Taste Salty?", in Reflections in a Jaundiced Eye (1989)

 * We wallow in nostalgia but manage to get it all wrong. True nostalgia is an ephemeral composition of disjointed memories [...] but American-style nostalgia is about as ephemeral as copyrighted déjà vu.
 * "Déjà Views", in Reflections in a Jaundiced Eye (1989), p. 112

 * Writers who have nothing to say always strain for metaphors to say it in.
 * The Florence King Reader (1995)

 * The joker in the deck of lesbian fidelity is female vanity: no woman of fifty is going to undress in front of a woman of twenty no matter how much she might lust for her.
 * The Florence King Reader (1995)

 * There is much to be said for post-menopausal celibacy. Sex is rough on loners because you have to have somebody else around, but now I don't. No more diets to stay slim and desirable: I've had sex and I've had food, and I'd rather eat.
 * Lump It or Leave It (1990)

 * I wasn't used to children and they were getting on my nerves. Worse, it appeared that I was a child, too. I hadn't known that before; I thought I was just short.
 * On her first day of kindergarten, from Confessions of a Failed Southern Lady (1990)
