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 Arjache. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Arjache~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 23:17, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

And sorry for the delay in the standard welcome message. I'm afraid we don't really have a welcoming committee here yet, so this tends to fall through the cracks. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 08:55, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

Walter Scott

 * You wrote: Talk to me about the formatting here. You've put the quotes from ch. 15 of The Antiquary into (one particular) strict, formal Wikiquote style: I'd put them in context with a note about this bit of the novel. My strong feeling is that the page loses immensely by not having these extra notes; I feel that, not only are (brief) notes not absolutely contrary to house style, but that style exists to serve the publication, not rule it (and I speak as a professional editor). Consistency is a good thing, but not to the point where it undermines the purpose of the page.

 * I'm stating this very strongly, but obviously you also have an opinion here! Talk to me... JackyR 20:53, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

 * It's not that I'm against offering explanatory text surrounding a quote, but I'd be apt to try to reign in the formatting of it a bit from your original. I would think we could accomodate both our wishes by compromising. Can we try to adhere to conventional WQ formatting, yet still retain your introductory text? ~ UDScott 21:05, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

 * I'll have a go. Posted that on the article talk page in case anyone follows and reverts one or other of the changes, but I guess it's not high-risk! :-) JackyR 21:19, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

Wikiquote:Aims
Thank you for the suggestion at WQ:VP about a Aims. I haven't perused such pages for quite a while, but I think you're right that we need to consider creating and/or updating something like this. As with all other policy-type issues here, though, I suspect it will take some effort to drum up interest in making this happen, and participants will mostly be the dozen or so usual suspects. I won't publicly nominate you to head this project, as I half-jokingly did to poor Essjay when he spoke up about general policy revision, but I encourage you to be bold, pehaps by starting a draft, including the points you raised (all of which are excellent and certainly get to the heart of some of our biggest problems), and starting a talk page to discuss these points. (You might add the major goal of providing accurate quotes — something that is quite rare on the Web today — which involves sourcing, citations, and verifying, all of which are still rather disorganized here.) If you want to give it a shot, consider adding it to WikiProject Policy Revision. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 17:24, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

 * I'll gather my strength a bit and have a go! Thanks for the positive feedback and pointers about where to start. I'm sure it will, as you say, be the Usual Suspects, but at least we'll then have a position (and page!) against which people can react! I don't see me making a good project leader, so won't volunteer. (I've spread myself so thin I'm letting plenty of people down already...) Cheers, JackyR 17:33, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

 * I suspect we all feel fairly thin-spread as well. (I know I do.) It's funny how even a completely voluntary project like Wikiquote can make you feel responsible for so much! We'll take whatever you wish to contribute. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 10:58, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

Fierce Invalids Home from Hot Climates

Fierce Invalids Home from Hot Climates is Tom Robbins' seventh and biggest novel. Invalids follows Switters, our wheelchair-bound antagonist, across four continents, in and out of love and danger. Through Switters, Robbins "explores, challenges, mocks, and celebrates virtually every major aspect of our mercurial era." (Quote from the hardcover book jacket.)

from novel

 * The world’s showing signs of waking up from its linear trance, its dangerously restrictive sense of itself as a historic vehicle chuffing down a one-way street toward some preordained apocalyptic goal.

 * "The more advertising I see, the less I want to buy."

 * He was in a drug-induced neurologically based state of blissful benevolence, a state in which ego softened, fear dissolved and trust expanded.

 * "All pets eventually become anthropomorphically neurotic."

 * "The unadorned truth is, adolescent girls are horny as jackrabbits. It's not their fault, nature designed it that way. For the protection of the species. And there's nothing politics or religion can do to alter that physical reality, short of drugging the girls with medical depressants, or siphoning off their hormones with rubber tubes. Because modern society is by nature unnatural, we're in a state of absolute denial over it. Absolute denial. That our daughters, granddaughters, nieces and little sisters might be highly charged sexual dynamos makes us so uncomfortable, so queasy, that we, men and women both, have to lie to ourselves and pretend it doesn't exist."

 * "Women love these fierce invalids home from hot climates."

 * "From the peeling wastes east of Al-Zarqa, there cam a faint but persistant cry, a cray to dam the flood tides of semen, to leash the sperm packs running wild in the sheets, to zonk the zygotic zillions and mitigate the multitudinous milt, to garrote the gullible glorification of gamete, forsake the foolish fidelity to fecundity, and wrest free from a woman's shoulders the boa of spermatozoa that the Church had draped there like a weighty shawl and that pulled her ever downward into sickness and servitude, while at her skirts her too-many children went hungry, went bad, or just went."

 * "It's hard to say who's a greater threat to the world, an ambitious CEO with a big ad budget or a crafty cleric with an obsolete Bible verse."

 * "I've sucked way too much cement for this year. Bad juju rising off them city sidewalks. I need to babble with a brook or two, inhale starlight, make friends with some trees."

 * "My faith is whatever makes me feel good about being alive. If your religion doesn't make you feel good to be alive, what the hell is the point of it?"

 * "Solace? That's why God made fermented beverages and the blues."

 * "People of zee wurl, RELAX!"

Bram Cohen

Bram Cohen (born October 12, 1975) is a computer programmer, best known as the author of BitTorrent.

Quotes

 * I hated school, and dropped out of college. I got picked on a lot in school, and had a lot of trouble making friends.

 * One thing about school - I always had this attitude that I was in school to learn, and attempted to do whatever was involved in that process, while school had this attitude that I was there to earn grades, which I couldn't care less about. Unsurprisingly, my grades weren't very good.
 * "Bram Cohen: Creator of BitTorrent", WrongPlanet.net, undated; accessed March 9, 2006, 17:01 (UTC)

Quotes about Cohen

 * He's very good at his strengths. When he gets an idea in his head, he works it over until he has it solved or knows it can't be solved. I've rarely seen him give up on problems.
 * Len Sassaman; quoted in "BitTorrent file-sharing program floods the Web", Seattle Times, January 10, 2005; accessed March 9, 2006, 20:18 (UTC)

Young Guns (film)

Young Guns is a 1988 action/western film that is a fictionalized retelling of the adventures of Billy the Kid (Estevez) during the Lincoln County War, which took place in New Mexico during 1877-1878.
 * Directed by Christopher Cain. Written by John Fusco.

Six reasons why the west was wild. (taglines)

William H. Bonney

 * Reap the whirlwind, Sheriff Brady. Reap it.
 * If we're caught, we're gonna hang... But there's many a slip twixt the cup and the lip.
 * You know, Sir, I do admire you, and I sure would like to touch the gun that's gonna kill Billy the Kid.
 * Reap it, Murphy, you son of a bitch.
 * Hey Colonel shit head, you can kiss my ass!"

Richard Brewer

 * REGULATORS, MOUNT UP!
 * Papers can't do anything right.

Charley Bowdre

 * Regulators, we regulate any stealing of his property and we damn good too. But you can't be any geek off the street, gotta be handy with the steel if you know what I mean, earn your keep!
 * Did you know pigs is as smart as dogs? It's true. I knew this fella in El Capitan who taught his pig to bark at strangers.
 * Hey, you ain't no regulator, boy. You just stay here with the pork. They're smarter than you anyway; you might learn something.
 * I'm not a pistoleer or a knifesmith like that greaser Chavez Chavez over there. I'm a pugilist.
 * It ain't easy having pals.

Dialogue

 * John Tunstall: Congratulations, Charles. You and Steven will be doing the dirty crockery alone this evening.
 * Charley Bowdre: Sorry, John. It just struck me funny.
 * John Tunstall: And to William, both of you.
 * Charley Bowdre: Apologies, Billy. We was just hacking on you.
 * "Dirty Steve" Stephens: Yeah, we was just hacking on you.
 * Richard Brewer: Rumor has it you killed a man, Billy. You don't seem like the killing sort.
 * "Dirty Steve" Stephens: Yeah, Billy. What'd you kill him for?
 * William H. Bonney: He was hacking on me.

 * "Dirty Steve" Stephens: There are people who will never secede...
 * John Tunstall: Succeed.
 * "Dirty Steve" Stephens: Who will never succeed anywhere.
 * Richard Brewer: There's a whole roomful right here.

 * Murphy: WELL. The belted earl has spoken. All I see are hired thieves.
 * John Tunstill: These boys are promising young men acquiring an education.
 * Murphy: Well, I've had you pegged as the type that likes... educatin' young boys.

 * Yen Sun: You look like trouble.
 * Doc: Trouble? I'm a poet, with flowers of all things.
 * Yen Sun: And a gun... it's a big gun.
 * Doc: It's a big town. Come on Yen, all I want is a chance.

 * Charley Bowdre: Hey, Chavez, how come they ain't killing us?
 * "Dirty Steve" Stephens: Because we're in the spirit world, asshole. They can't see us.

 * Alex McSween: I'm not leaving my house.
 * William H. Bonney: Alex, if you stay they're gonna kill you. And then I'm gonna have to to go around and kill all the guys who killed you. That's a lot of killing.

 * Richard Brewer: Lord, forgive us for our wrongdoings, for our misguidance by heathen religions. Thank you for keeping us alive. Lord, be with us in doing the right thing. Our Father, who art in Heaven, hallow be thy name.
 * William H. Bonney: Please, Dick. It's getting cold. [He and Dick both pull guns on each other] I could've killed you, Dick. I could've killed you, but I don't want to kill you. I want to eat.

 * Yen Sun: They'll chase after us.
 * Doc: I'm used to that.

 * "Dirty Steve" Stephens: Damn good riding with you, Chavez.
 * Chavez: Many nights, my friend... Many nights I've put a blade to your throat while you were sleeping. Glad I never killed you, Steve. You're all right...

 * William H. Bonney: Dear Governor Axe-tell...
 * Doc: Axtell.
 * William H. Bonney: Right. I've heard that you will give 200 dollars for my head. Perhaps we should meet and talk. I am at the Juarez village at the border. Send 3 men, and instruct them not to shoot, as I am unarmed. In short, Sir; I surrender. Your obedient servant William H. Bonney. P.S. I changed my mind. Kiss my ass."

Welch/Welsh
Spellings of these, as entered ~ 9 March 2006, are correct, although confusing. Royal Welch = Royal Welch Fusiliers; Welsh = Welsh Regiment, later Welch Regiment. Don't try to understand it: it's the army... JackyR 19:30, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

The Antiquary
Talk to me about the formatting here. You've put the quotes from ch. 15 of The Antiquary into (one particular) strict, formal Wikiquote style: I'd put them in context with a note about this bit of the novel. My strong feeling is that the page loses immensely by not having these extra notes; I feel that, not only are (brief) notes not absolutely contrary to house style, but that style exists to serve the publication, not rule it (and I speak as a professional editor). Consistency is a good thing, but not to the point where it undermines the purpose of the page.

I'm stating this very strongly, but obviously you also have an opinion here! Talk to me... JackyR 20:53, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

 * It's not that I'm against offering explanatory text surrounding a quote, but I'd be apt to try to reign in the formatting of it a bit from your original. I would think we could accomodate both our wishes by compromising. Can we try to adhere to conventional WQ formatting, yet still retain your introductory text? ~ UDScott 21:02, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I'll have a go. Posted that on the article talk page in case anyone follows and reverts one or other of the changes, but I guess it's not high-risk! :-) JackyR 21:19, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

 * OK, how's that? It's lost the Blockquote, which I now realise is not a WQ thing. But it retains the theme heading, context, and unity of the quote. Whether it's better to cite the source as the intro or at the foot, I don't know (only left both in cos I can't decide). You get to chose whether this goes within the Antiquary section (tho it should be at the foot thereof, if so), or in its own section...
 * Generally, WQ doesn't seem to have resolved the Source/Theme conflict any better than the last sentence here. I don't know how it can, to be honest, without an enormous database in which individual quotes are the files. JackyR 21:55, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

And better still because this is similar to the way I'd done it at Robert Graves. :-) JackyR 23:45, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I think this will work, with a couple of minor tweaks: I would put this as a subsection to the Antiquary section, then remove the words "of Scott's novel The Antiquary (1816)". Then I would also change the last line: make it "** Vol. I, Ch. 15" What do you think? ~ UDScott 22:01, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

On the postal service
Chapter 15 of Scott's novel The Antiquary (1816) opens at a small Scottish post office, " Mrs. Mailsetter's shop, —a source more famous for the circulation of news than for their accuracy." An express has arrived at the office, and which must now rise to the challenge of delivering it.
 * ...We beg leave to transport the reader to the back-parlour of the post-master's house at Fairport, where his wife, he himself being absent, was employed in assorting for delivery the letters which had come by the Edinburgh post. This is very often in country towns the period of the day when gossips find it particularly agreeable to call on the man or woman of letters, in order, from the outside of the epistles, and, if they are not belied, occasionally from the inside also, to amuse themselves with gleaning information, or forming conjectures about the correspondence and affairs of their neighbours. Two females of this description were, at the time we mention, assisting, or impeding, Mrs. Mailsetter in her official duty.
 * "I'm no gaun to let naebody see the letter," sobbed the boy, "till I gie't to Mr. Lovel, for I am a faithfu' servant o' the office—if it werena for the powny." "Very right, my little man," said Ochiltree, turning the reluctant pony's head towards Monkbarns; "but we'll guide him atween us." ... [They met Lovel on the way,] and Davie, who insisted upon a literal execution of his commission by going on to Monkbarns, was with difficulty prevailed upon to surrender the packet to its proper owner, although he met him a mile nearer than the place he had been directed to. "But my minnie said, I maun be sure to get twenty shillings and five shillings for the postage, and ten shillings and sixpence for the express—there's the paper." "Let me see—let me see," said Oldbuck, putting on his spectacles, and examining the crumpled copy of regulations to which Davie appealed. "Express, per man and horse, one day, not to exceed ten shillings and sixpence. One day? why, it's not an hour—Man and horse? why, 'tis a monkey on a starved cat!"
 * —The Antiquary, Volume I, Chapter XV (1816)

"Think things through - then follow through”
“I can give you a six-word formula for success: "Think things through - then follow through”. I've seen this attributed to Sir Walter Scott and also to World War I flying ace Edward Rickenbacker. Can anyone pin this down to either one? 80.195.233.60 06:36, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Fat, fair and forty
"Fat, fair and forty" is the title of a famous caricature printed as early as 1786 by W.S.Fores. --78.54.168.158 10:38, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Verses
Walter Scott is the father of the historical novel and here we have mostly verses? Something looks off here. --Nemo 23:44, 31 December 2014 (UTC)
