Ratchet: Deadlocked

 (also known as Ratchet: Gladiator in Europe and Australia) is a 2005 video game sequel to Up Your Arsenal. It was released for the PlayStation 2.

Dallas Wanamaker

 * Since I don't have much time left, I'd just like to apologize to a few people. Timmy Aberdeen, I was the one who lit your backpack on fire, and I'm sorry that you couldn't get it off in time. Susie Binkleton, I was the one who put the tyhrranoid in your locker. Hey, but I hear the therapy is going well, though. Chin up, kid! And finally to you, Juanita, my dear, sweet Juanita. I'm sorry for 6 years of rude jokes, harassing innuendo, and those friendly little pinches in the elevator, but who am I kidding you? You love it!
 * Run, Ratchet, run!
 * In this challenge, Team Darkstar needs to grind a cable positioned hundreds of feet above the water! Is this even safe? Of course not! This is DreadZone, baby!
 * This is more fun than a bus-load of cheerleaders!
 * They have to traverse what I like to call the "Chasm of Endless Falling and Eventual Dying". Good luck kids!
 * This guy's gonna get us a lot of commercial time, Juanita. Let's just hope we don't have any more wardrobe malfunctions! [Laughs]
 * Team Darkstar is making their mark in DreadZone! Team Markstar is making their dark in RedZone! Oh, dear, I've gone cross-eyed...
 * [In the Dark Cathedral of Kronos] It's cold, it's dank, it's scary, it's just like my ex-wife!
 * Interesting fact, folks, DreadZone started over 2 guys fighting over a breakfast burrito, and the rest is history!
 * [When Ratchet has low nanotech] Ratchet's about to bite the bag and step out the door. That means die.
 * [When the Puma is damaged] Hey, don't scratch the paint on that Puma. We're giving it away on bingo night!
 * And they're gonna be squashed like pancakes! With syrup, and butter, and jam, and a little orange garnish on top and say, can I have breakfast for dinner or is that just weird?
 * And that Lombax is terminating with extreme prejudice! It's a good thing we're out of range, eh, Juanita? We are out of range, aren't we?
 * Folks, just a reminder. Tomorrow is "Kick Your Best Friend in the Pants" Day! Free popcorn for everyone who participates.
 * See, this is what they mean by gratuitous violence, Juanita. I'm going to call my kids and tell them to stop watching! ...Just as soon as I have kids.

Dialogue

 * Al: I got them off of a former contestant who, um... won't be needing them any more.
 * Merc: Don't worry, boss. You won't end up like that last guy.
 * Green: I hope not, I still have nightmares about it.
 * Merc: [annoyed] Aww, suck it up, Green!

 * Ratchet: [infuriated] –Me out of this thing, you Blarg-headed frak monkey! I can barely breathe, and my tail feels like it's shoved right up my–

 * Vox: [to Ratchet] Greetings, hero, and welcome to DreadZone. Rest assured, you are now far out of the reach of hope. There will be no rescues, no pardons, no possibility of escape. You are now a contestant on the greatest holo-vision program the galaxy has ever known. Chances are you'll be dead by tomorrow, but those of you who play the game with skill and strategy will earn a chance to win your freedom.

 * Vox: [Over PA system] High levels of radiation have been detected in the containment area. If you reside next to or near Uranium Man, you will die shortly.

 * Vox: [Over PA system] For everyone to enjoy it, please keep the interplanetary transport as clean as possible. After all, your mother does not work here... oh, except for you, Captain Nightingale.

 * Green [When hovership is damaged] Sir, um... I'm seeing parts of this fly off that we, uh, kinda need.

 * Green: [When hovership is damaged] We can't take much more of this, we don't have the power!

 * Merc: [When hovership is damaged] Does this have airbags? Please tell me it has airbags.

 * Green: [Whimpering after seeing a robot zombie on Catacrom Four]
 * Merc: What's the matter, Green?
 * Green: It's that dead robot over there, sir. I think it moved.

 * Green: [sarcastically] Zombies, dead ahead! Er, no pun intended sir.

 * Merc: Hey, Green, that zombie looks like your momma!

 * Merc: [On grindrail] Whoa... I guess this is a bad time to say I'm afraid of heights.

 * Merc: Aw, I see an itty-bitty turret. Boss, can I blow it up? Pretty please?

 * Merc: [offended] Hey, what did you do to that VG-9000? I was playing!
 * Al: I figured we needed space for more useful things. Plus, you were getting too near my high score in Ozaark's Revenge.

 * Merc: [After getting to the top of the Valix beacon] It's so bright! It's... like a lightbulb, but... so much brighter! Uhhh... I'm not good with words.

 * Al: Ratchet, is this a bad time? I can't find my Captain Qwark Tearless Shampoo and Conditioner! And I believe you were the last one to use it!
 * Clank: Please, reserve this line for important communication. Besides, you are supposed to be working on the Deadlock collar override.
 * Al: Yeah, yeah, yeah…

 * Merc: [Voiceover in multiplayer] Gravity boots are our way of saying, "Screw you, nature." You can walk magnetic walls and ceilings, you can even scare your momma. I don't care!

 * Merc: Boss, if you miss that swingshot target, you will suffer a horrible, painful death. No pressure, though.

 * Juanita: I can't look! Is Team Darkstar dead? Dallas... Dallas?! What are you doing?!
 * Dallas: Nothing, just keep your eyes closed... OW!

 * Dallas: Ratchet is kicking some proverbial butt. By proverbial, I mean... I don't know what I mean.
 * Merc: It means we're unstoppable.

 * Dallas: Oh, this could be disaster for Team Darkstar! I put 500 bolts on this match!
 * Juanita: Dallas, our lives are at risk and you're gambling?!
 * Dallas: Oh, Juanita, don't act like you care! YOU... NEVER... CARED! OH YEAH, THERE WE GO! I POPPED A BLOOD VESSEL... AGAIN! Um, could someone please get me a tissue?

 * Juanita: That's right. Take him out, Team Darkstar! Destroy him, destroy his family, make him cry into his next life! Draaaaaaaaaaaaaagh!
 * Dallas I've never seen that before! Ladies and gentlemen, Juanita has eaten the cameraman!

 * Dallas: After making his fortune selling cigarettes to children, Ratchet went on to pilot a tanker ship for planet Zexxon.
 * Juanita: Only a week later he got drunk and crashed his tanker on the ocean planet of Aquatos. Who can forget the graphic images of baby seals smothered in radioactive waste? [sound of baby seal] Little Coco, never had a chance.
 * Al: [to Ratchet] How could you! [grabs him] What did Little Coco ever do to you?!
 * Ratchet: Wh-what?
 * Clank: Al, how can you believe these ridiculous lies?

 * Clank: Excellent work, Team Darkstar.
 * Merc: Ya can't stop a leatherneck, we adapt and survive.

 * Dallas: If Ratchet was a tough cookie, what kind of cookie would he be? I'm gonna have to go with "snickerdoodle".

 * Dallas: [nervously] Greetings, DreadZone fans, and welcome to the final episode of DreadZone... [Head flops into hands] Oh, God... we're all gonna die! [Hides beneath desk]
 * Juanita: The mood is... positively... uh, electric, as the audience braces to find out whether they will survive... the next 10 minutes. I can't believe I'm reading this.
 * Dallas: I had my whole life ahead of me... I was gonna be a... ballet dancer!
 * Juanita: Pull yourself together, you blabbering idiot! [Slaps him across the face, hard]
 * Dallas: Thank you, Juanita.

 * Juanita: This reminds me of the Galaxy's Most Painful Home Movies, I love the part where they miss the jump and smash their crotches on the railing, so wacky!

 * Juanita: This creature is clearly much too dangerous to be set free! He must be destroyed!

 * Juanita: [Excited] His bots are down! He's gonna die!

 * Shellshock: Initiating annihilation program!

 * Shellshock: Target acquired! Terminating with extreme prejudice!

 * Shellshock: [performing shockwave move] I call this one my "Dishonorable Discharge".

 * Reactor: I'm gonna smack that stupid look off ya' face.

 * Reactor: This is MY house!

 * Reactor: I'm gonna put you in a world of hurt!

 * Reactor: When this is over, you're gonna feel dead tired.

 * Ace Hardlight: This is as far as you go, lombax. I'm the star here.

 * Ace: Hey, lombax, you feel lucky?

 * Ace: [firing homing missile] Now you'll see why they call me "The Great One".

 * Ace: Let's see whose action figure they'll buy now, lombax.

 * Ace: You're gonna pay for that, you little rodent.

 * Ace: I should've killed you a long time ago, runt!

 * Ace: Must... fight! Ignore... pain.

 * Ace: Hey, I'm out of medpacks... not that I need them.

 * Ace: And now, for my finishing move!

 * Ranking Machine: Does it bother you that you are shorter than most heroes?

 * Ranking Machine: My circuits can no longer process stats of this magnitude.

 * Ranking Machine: I am surprised you are still alive.

 * Ranking Machine: If you believe there is an error in your score, please realize you are not that good.

 * Ranking Machine: Your ranking appears to be that of a contestant twice your size.

 * Ranking Machine: Your heroic presence rattles my friction sensors.

 * Ranking Machine: Here to check your ratings? I would not look if I were you.

 * Ranking Machine: Attention: Something small and furry has walked into the ranking station. Oh, it's you Ratchet.

 * Ranking Machine: You are furry, much like a captive affection recipient... or a pet.

 * Ranking Machine: I am unworthy to be in your presence, hero.

 * Dr. Nefarious: Huh? Lawrence, what's going on?! You said that we were coming within range of a space station!
 * Lawrence: Well, we were, sir. How would I know that it would suddenly explode?
 * Nefarious: LAAAAAAAAAAAAAWREEEEEEEEEEENCE!!

Article created without quotes. Delete unless it is developed. InvisibleSun 04:01, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

 * Vote closed. Result: delete (4 Deletes; 1 discounted Keep from anon who also attempted to delete WQ:VFD; no other dissent). Also changed The Simpsons link to WP. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 16:15, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete unless reasonable quotes added. (The text needs a little cleanup, too, and a Wikipedia link to this actress's article.) I suspect this was created because of a redlink prominently featured in The Simpsons (harking back to my old argument for the use of WP, not WQ, links for many unlikely quotees mentioned only in passing in articles). Unfortunately, even IMDb doesn't list any quotes for her at the moment. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 06:40, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Another vanity article from a non-notable person. ~ UDScott 14:30, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

 * Vote closed. Result: delete (5 Deletes; no dissent; no response from creator). ~ Jeff Q (talk) 16:16, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. I have added vanity-warn to the creator's talk page. ~ UDScott 14:30, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete unless user registers a username, in which case move to their user page. I'm against offering to move quotes to an IP user page, as they are not owned by the user (or even by their ISP), and therefore should not be treated as a proper user page. We need a vanity-warn-anon template to add the request that the anon registers first.

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 Shilpi. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Shilpi~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 23:34, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

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 Sdl. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Sdl~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 23:34, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Signing posts
Sorry to be a nudge, but could you be a bit more careful about signing your posts on WQ:VFD? (I've stamped two of your votes in the past two weeks.) We really tend to be fussy about that particular page because of all the mayhem that occurs when editors take exception to their articles being nominated, including forged votes and changing of other editors' posts. It's highly desirable that regular editors like yourself always make sure to sign their posts. Thanks a bunch. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 11:10, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

Can you help save Atisha?
As it stands, Atisha seems like it might get axed, although no one seems particularly anxious to do so. Since you seem to be aware of the contents of A Lamp for the Path of Enlightenment (at least to know it isn't the source of the quote), could you add a quote or two from that work? This would eliminate the arguments for deletion by both asserting who this is and providing at least one sourced quote. (I'd do it myself, but the only semi-local library in which I can find any mention of Atisha is the Library of Congress, and I'm not likely to get there in the next week or so.) Thanks. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 10:02, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

 * I'll be glad to, but I'm still on the road, and the earliest I could get to it would be next week. --Ubiquity 12:37, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

Question about dates and stubs
You wrote:
 * Thanks for the changes you made to my article on Jay Gould. But I have a couple of questions. I see you wikilinked the dates in the form Month DD, YYYY . I can see the point of the date link, it leads to quotes of the day for the linked date, many of which come from people whose anniversary fell on that date. But the year links come out as redlinks. What is planned for this?

 * Also, you marked the article as a stub, presumably because it only had three unsourced quotes. It now has a sourced quote, an unsourced quote, and an (unsourced but attributed) "about" quote. When does it cease to be a stub? --Ubiquity 19:25, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

 * You bring up something that is being currently debated here -- the year links, and what to do about the growing accumulation of red links. Check out the Village pump for some conversations about it. I believe the eventual plan is to create pages for each of the years, but it is anyone's guess as to when someone will have the time and interest available to undertake this. As for the stub designation, this is also a fuzzy area (I have seen some users liken it to the famed "definition" of pornography - I know it when I see it). But in general, the common form is to require around 4-5 sourced quotations. This is by no means a hard and fast rule, but when I look at Jay Gould, it still strikes me as a stub article. Sorry to be so vague in my answers, but you've hit on a couple of non-definitive parts of WQ. ~ UDScott 19:36, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

Help with Bob Dylan
You wrote:
 * I was thinking about organizing the vast list of quotations on the Bob Dylan page, but I'm not certain it would be an improvement. One possibility is to organize by song, and list the songs alphabetically. Another is to organize by album, and possibly song within album. The latter has some problems, since some songs appear on more than one album, and since some of the albums (like "The Bootleg Series Volumes 1-3 (Rare & Unreleased) 1961-1991") were compilations made long after the song was written. So I'm leaning towards doing it by song, but that almost seems arbitrary— not shedding any real light on his work (just organization for the sake of organization). Perhaps if the songs were listed chronologically? Any ideas? Do you think it matters? Thanks in advance for your opinion. --Ubiquity 14:32, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure if there is a "wrong" way, but what I would do is to organize by album, then song within the album. I would use the first occurrence of a song on an album to place it in the chronological order. I think the default with any set of quotes (assuming they are sourced) is to place them in chronological order, based on the first time they appear. If you felt strongly enough about it, you could always place a note after a given song that stated that it also appears on other albums (and list those albums). But I think that if you organize it by album, then song, it would make it easier for people with an interest to find them (rather than just a list of songs) - I think having the context of the album on which a song first appears is better. ~ UDScott 14:42, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
 * You might also take a look at another similar page, like Led Zeppelin to see how song lyrics have been posted here before. ~ UDScott 19:47, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

Reverting VfD articles
Thanks for looking into the history of Brett Favre to find and fix the main problem. But when you revert an article under VfD to a better, earlier version, don't forget to re-add the VfD tag, too. ☺ ~ Jeff Q (talk) 15:06, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

Speedy stuff
Yes I agree with you! BUT I've got into trouble before with folks removing speedy/prod type stuff that is obviously deletable. I get told that the policy is that if a tag is removed it goes to VfD. So I guess I'd say - like it or not - if the tag gets removed (& I suspect it might) then it has to be VfD.

Hope that helps & congrats too. You know where I am if I can help, regards -- Herby talk thyme 08:43, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

 * Thanks for your queries on my talk page. Yes, of course I can do my own speedies, but for some reason I can't recall, in this case I felt the need of a second pair of eyes.  It's the ethics of not being judge, jury and executioner.  I do delete off my own bat sometimes.

 * I'm afraid that we don't have reams and reams of policies that cover everything. (Why should I be afraid?  That's a good thing.)  As admins, we're trusted to have a bit of intelligence and good judgment.  If you want to add something to the policy, I'm happy to help you draft it, but really it's not necessary.  Hope that helps. Poetlister 22:51, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

 * I sometimes tag articles with delete too. As said, it is good to invite another to review judgment, even if it is not necessary per policy. And that was one of reasons I thought prod might be useful for the project. Of course we are trusted to handle those things, and there are more occasions I have no hesitation to speedy contributions in question. Hope that helps. --Aphaia 06:39, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

closing VFDs
''I'll be glad to help close them on time, but I'm not sure how to do it. Obviously I can delete the original. But how do you put the discussion into the archives, and have the nice blue background copy of it in the VFD area for a few days? --Ubiquity 23:45, 13 December 2007 (UTC)''

 * Well, I was going to point you to the documentation for this process. But I notice that we don't seem to have updated Deletion policy (which doubles as our "deletion process" page) to reflect the new VfD process. And that is because we haven't even officially ratified the new VfD system which is nearly a year old!

 * I blame myself for this. I've always tried to make sure our documentation reflects our practices, and I've been doing far too little of this lately. While I bump up the priority on dotting these i's and crossing these t's (the "word of the day" two days ago on Wiktionary, an interesting omen), here's the basic process:

 * Close the discussion by editing the whole page (not just the section). Add  to the top and   to the bottom. This turns the discussion blue. (If you forget the vb tag, like I sometimes do, it'll turn the entire remainder of the VfD page blue until it's fixed.)
 * Take the chosen action on the page.
 * For delete, don't forget to delete talk pages and remove references from articles where appropriate (e.g., remove an obvious unnotable from List of people by name, but you can leave truly famous people for future creation).
 * For keep or no-consensus, remove the VFD tag (which I frequently forget!) and add a tag to the talk page (TITLE being the name of the discussion, usually but not always the same as the page). There's also a  template for redirects and merges without deletion.
 * There are other oddities, like "pending action", but don't worry about that. 99% are covered by the two usual classes of results, and someone else can jump in on anything weird.
 * Archive by adding the discussion to the appropriate month page in Votes for deletion/Log.
 * Cut the discussion line from WQ:VFD and paste it into the month page, placing it in reverse chronological order by date of nomination (most recently nominated at the top). Copy over or add the HTML nomination-date comment if necessary to make it easier for folks to keep them in order.
 * Save the changes with an appropriate edit summary on both pages. (I like to include a list with each closed discussion title, to make it easier to find them in the WQ:VFD and log page histories, but most folks just say something like "archived 3 discussions".)

 * You don't need to archive the discussion immediately after closing. If there's been some interesting discussion or controversy, I like to leave the discussion in place on WQ:VFD for a day or two. But you can move it there right away also. I'm afraid, too, that some closers still feel uncomfortable about the archive process, which is actually much easier than it use to be. (Those docs really need to get updated!) The nice thing is that we no longer have to do both steps immediately.

More on deletions
What's your take on pages with a single phrase, obviously intended to be offensive, but which might be a quote from a person or group which might'' be notable? For instance, User:Ubiquity/Some Obscure Rapper. No intro, no sources, no indication that the text is a quotation. But assume I recognize or get ghits for "Some Obscure Rapper" — enough to convince me he might be notable. Does this qualify for SD/nonsense, SD/vandalism, SD/no quotes, or does it require prod or vfd? Or should I assume good faith and provide an intro and format the article properly? I suppose that if it were intended as vandalism, making it a proper article might take some of the fun out of it for the perpetrator. --Ubiquity 13:32, 14 December 2007 (UTC)''

 * Well, for musicians, if they have neither an All Music Guide nor a Wikipedia entry, I'm inclined to assume they're non-notable. With an unoriginal quote like in your example, even though it's something that a rapper might find lyrical, I think that combination would justify an SD/unremarkable subject. (It may be vandalism or a hoax, but SD/A4 puts the burden of proof in an appropriate place if someone wants to argue the point.) If they do have some arguable notoriety, and it seems like someone just pasted it in without any intention of building up a decent article, that's where I think prod is useful (i.e., careless, abandoned article). But if it seems like someone is planning to create an article about an arguably notable person with a bunch of inane "quotes", I tend to send them to WQ:VFD, as I do with wrestlers, obscure fictional characters, and other articles that collect lots of unpithy, unoriginal, and unsourced material, as they could conceivably be made useful (however unlikely). ~ Jeff Q (talk) 17:14, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

Oscar Hammerstein
I think we're getting a problem with definitions here. Your first reference says explicitly that "Cole Porter was not Jewish". However, it does not say so about Hammerstein in so many words. It says that he had a non-Jewish mother and wasn't a practising Jew. You may choose to define a Jew as someone with a Jewish mother (the traditional position of course, but not the position of most American Jews), or someone who practises Judaism (however you define that). However, we have no right (at least in a Wikiquote context) to use our own definition of who is Jewish. All we can do is report what reliable sources say. If there is a source that anyone is not Jewish, that's another matter. Thus there are plenty of sources that Georg Cantor was Jewish. There are sources that he wasn't, so you have to balance their credibility.--Cato 18:20, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
 * My problem remains. By what criterion do you decide that someone is Jewish other than that reliable sources say that he is and no sources say explicitly that he isn't?  To deduce that because he had a non-Jewish mother and wasn't a practising Jew, he wasn't Jewish when sources say that he was is clearly original research.  And don't forget, we're not concerned with truth here, only verifiability.--Cato 20:47, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Another thought - what if we define "Jewish" as someone described as Jewish, with a source, on Wikipedia? That would include Hammerstein but exclude Adam Mickiewicz.--Cato 20:55, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

 * And I did not mean to imply that you had just fixed it and run! I just thought, having seen the film, that that there were many more quotable lines to be found.

Rob Zombie
Hello. Would you be content with dropping the prod on Rob Zombie if I gave you my intent within the next couple weeks to flesh it out? I'm sure I can dig up a few decent quotes given his career as a musician and director. I just don't have the time at present. -- Greyed 19:27, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, I guess. I certainly accept that he's notable, and that you'll do what you say. But the page as it stands is such a mess that I don't see what's gained by not just starting from scratch when you have the quotes. How about this compromise: you provide one or two decent quotes, they don't even have to be sourced, and I'll clean up the rest of the page and remove the prod . Then we can feel better about having a legitimate stub page, instead of an empty placeholder. Honestly, I would have done it myself if I had any appreciation for Zombie's music. So how about it? --Ubiquity 19:37, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
 * True about restarting from scratch. I'll see what I can find in the next day or two.  Let's leave the prod for now and if I find something prior to the expiration I'll clean up the page, get the quotes on there and remove the prod.  Otherwise we can let it stand and I'll recreate later -- Greyed 19:42, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the cite. I found that quote and thought it rather interesting that a guy famous for his love of B-grade horror flicks had said that.  But the wife was pulling me off to do something else.  I'll find a few more to flesh out the page a bit more.  Hopefully something about his music as well. -- Greyed 05:37, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

75.30.225.147 & Rush
Uhm, 75.30.225.147 has presented why he feels the quote should be removed on the Talk page. He agrees with my assessment that the quote is fundamentally not about anyone, it only uses the names to provide the humor. -- Greyed 01:22, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Whoops, made my case on the talk page, won't reiterate here. However, isn't this something that BD2412's Quotability proposal is supposed to address?  So while it is not something that is against policy I do think there is friction here because while it is technically correct I think we all can feel that there's something amiss and we just can't quantify it.  However, there seems to be a lack of willingness to discuss it which disheartens me.
 * Anyway, I am respecting your wishes to not do further reversions. I have tried to do the best I can in the situation, even going so far as following Aphaia's advice.  I apologize for creating such a ruckus. -- Greyed 01:59, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
 * As I said, the reason the quote is not about Limbaugh is because, fundamentally, it is perfectly clear that it is an imaginary word picture, and not a statement about the man himself. When you start a statement with, “Doesn’t he remind you of…,” you have clearly gone away from fact, and on to the realm of imagination. For that reason, the quote does not belong under “Quotes about Limbaugh.” 75.30.225.147 09:04, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Here you said, 'A transcript of a tragedy is not a quotation.

Deletion of Indiana Jones and Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
Origanaly from User talk:WHLfan:

I appreciate your efforts in creating the page on Indiana Jones and Kingdom of the Crystal Skull'', but I deleted it. Wikiquote policy does not allow quotations from forthcoming works. See What Wikiquote is not, particularly the section "Wikiquote is not a crystal ball". --Ubiquity 20:51, 14 February 2008 (UTC)''

''*The qoutes I used on that page your from the trailer, what wroung with that (in fact I have seen some pages with qoutes from trailers on Wikiquote)? WHLfan 20:56, 14 February 2008 (UTC)''

I read What Wikiquote is not, and the "Wikiquote is not a crystal ball" section says:

so quotes from and articles on these subjects are not acceptable unless there is a reliable publication previewing them.

Well there IS a reliable publication previewing them, and here it is: WHLfan 21:20, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

Transwiki
You'd do well to check my Wikipedia contribs. See this. Will {{sup|{talk)}} 14:44, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I mean, that's exactly how the page was on Wikipedia. At the time I didn't know there was a Picasso article. Will {{sup|{talk)}} 17:06, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

 * [Posted to both User talk:Sceptre and User talk:Ubiquity] … FYI, the process to transwiki into Wikiquote is described in detail at Help:Transwiki. It is completely appropriate for a transwikier to copy quote material from a Wikipedia article into a page called "Transwiki:name of article". (I probably would have used "Transwiki:Pablo Picasso" instead of Transwiki:Quotations by Pablo Picasso based on the likely destination page, but using the WP article title also makes perfect sense. It's a temporary page anyway and is in the Transwiki: space primarily so that the transfer process does not have to be completed by someone who may not know the policies and guidelines of the target project.) While Will did log its transfer from WP, he did not log its transfer to WQ in Transwiki per our policy (which follows Wikimedia-wide practice per m:Help:Transwiki). This informs people from both projects where articles are coming from and going to. (Some projects delete their logs after the transwiki is completed; we leave ours for future reference, as one never knows when someone might wonder what happened to their pet article.)

 * What is supposed to happen on the destination end is that a Wikiquotian will notice either the log entry or the new addition to Category:Move into Wikiquote. (That assumes the WP "Copy to Wikiquote" template is changed to Move to Wikiquote, which was not done here. I notice that our help page doesn't specify this step. Either I forgot to add that requirement, or WP's practice changed from using the template we still specify to using something that no longer works here. A redirect should fix that problem.) Anyway, the receiving Wikiquotian then decides whether to move, merge, or delete the incoming transwiki. Will did nothing wrong in leaving the merge to another editor.

 * Many editors bypass all the formalities and simply copy the material from WP to WQ. This is very bad and should be discouraged vehemently. It violates GFDL by providing no clear credit, link, or even association with the originating article. In the past year or so, we've tried to cut corners by at least mandating the inclusion of an unlabeled link back to the WP article (e.g., "Quotations by Pablo Picasso") in the edit summary (or on the discussion page if the copying editor forgets this step). Will did not do this, either, so there is no record on Wikiquote of where this page came from. We must have either the log or the edit-summary link as a very minimum record. NOTE, however, that if the transwikied material is an article that may be deleted, as this one was, this shortcut link is not appropriate, because the edit history will be lost to the general public when the source article is deleted. In these cases, one must provide a copy of the source article's edit history on the discussion page of the Transwiki page, which will then need to be transferred to the discussion pages of any articles that receive merged information. (If the Transwiki: page is simply deleted — and logged as deleted at Transwiki! — this is not necessary, just as it is not necessary to have a public record of contributions to any ordinary deleted article.)

 * It's now possible for some editors to export and import material between projects, which provides proper links and/or credits without much of the hassle of transwiki. I'm afraid I've been too distracted to investigate and document this, but Jusjih has been working on this recently.

 * Ubiquity says this material came from another website. That's good WQ detective work, but the misunderstading might have been avoided or lessened if he'd had the log to see that it was from WP and not this other website that Will transferred the material. However, it is not the responsibility of the transwikier to determine whether the transwikied material is acceptable to the project. We have the two-step process precisely to allow the destination project to make that determination, as Ubiquity did by finding that the WP material appears to be merely a copy of another website. (Even when the transwikier is a Wikiquotian, too, as Will is, one should consider that the transwiki process is enough of a bear not to expect them to do the full process at once. Of course, we have a serious backlog of material to finish transwikiing, but that's just one of our many backlogs.)

 * Ubiquity, in completing the transwiki, also failed either to log the transwiki completion or to credit the originating WP article in any edit summary, instead noting the apparent origin of the WP material. Technically, even this violates GFDL, as it fails to credit the WP editor(s) even if their work is borrowed. (One might ultimately determine they have no right to a copyright of their contributions, but it's a lot harder to work that out than just to add the article pointer or log the darn transfer and let others worry about the legal issues.)

 * I don't want to sound too critical about this. Most transwiki work that I've seen on Wikimedia projects, at least that done by non-bots, is horrendously improper. It's so bad that it could be used as an argument by Wikimedia copyright violators that we don't take our own licensing policies seriously, so why should they? But that won't change unless we read the instructions, improve them where needed, and follow them whenever possible.

 * My lack of participation in this work in the past 2 years has certainly contributed to these ongoing problems, which is one of many reasons I'm hoping to hand over some responsibilities that I think others would like to do. Meanwhile, I'd be happy to answer questions about this. Despite this critical review, I would like to thank you both for trying to get this right, which is more than most editors do. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 18:23, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

 * By the way, I finished the formal transwiki by copying the edit history from Talk:Transwiki:Quotations by Pablo Picasso to Talk:Pablo Picasso (in a slightly different format that adds WP links to the users to avoid confusion w/ possibly different WQ users), deleted the transwiki talk page, and logged the 3-part transfer (well, 2 steps with 3 pages involved) at Transwiki. I'm afraid it's not hard to see why so many folks prefer to avoid this process. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 03:46, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Wikiquote interlanguage communication
Hi, I'm Nemo from the Italian language Wikiquote and I'm writing you (via a bot) because you're an administrator of Wikiquote in this language; please excuse me if you've received this message more than once. The simple thing that I want you to know is that Wikiquote has an official mailing list, Wikiquote-l, which can be used to communicate and discuss matters which interest all Wikiquotes. This mailing list was last "advertised" about three or four years ago, before many of us joined Wikiquote, and is currently almost not participated at all by Wikiquote users and very low-traffic. I ask you to subscribe, to participate in discussions and to write about your Wikiquote. I love Wikiquote, as you probably do, and I think that we should be proud of what we do here, share our experiences and good practices to make Wikiquote better and raise awareness of it. I remind you that Meta-Wiki is the best place for Wikimedia projects coordination, and it contains several pages about Wikiquote, and specifically this talk page which can be used to discuss about Wikiquote if you don't like mailing lists. I hope that this message has been useful for you. Cheers, Nemo (write me) 10:12, 14 December 2010 (UTC)

Category:Japanese poets
Risto hot sir has requested that I ask the community about what should be done regarding the numerous articles listed under Category:Japanese poets. You will know what I mean after you read a few and start to see the trend. They are all a possible copyright violation, they are all of non-notable people who don't even have a Wikipedia article, they are all from one source and they all clog up this category. You can read more about this here, here, here, and here. Just A Regular New Yorker (talk) 22:54, 13 March 2018 (UTC)

 * I agree with you. A page based on the book would be better, and without every single one of them. Ubiquity (talk) 02:01, 14 March 2018 (UTC)

 * Even so, wouldn’t it be a copyright violation? I say we just nominate all 102 articles for speedy deletion on the basis of copyright violation and lack of information about the poet. At the very least, we should add a dated prod to them. What do you think? Just A Regular New Yorker (talk) 02:36, 14 March 2018 (UTC)

 * Well, copyright violation... On a per-poet basis, copying a few lines to Wikiquote seems like fair use. Copying an entire book is more onerous. Perhaps that's why Risto hot sir did it this way in the first place. We would definitely have to be more selective if we put them all in one place. But that's probably good.

 * Thanks, but other admins seem to be involved. Too many cooks, etc. - Ubiquity (talk) 12:41, 24 March 2018 (UTC)

The user User:Jedi3 is only engaged in POV-pushing and adding statements just so they agree with his view. He doesn't care if his claims are made up like he did at Sikandar Butshikan, indirectly admitting to verbatim to verbatrim copying from Wikipedia before checking the source. Or making up a false reason to remove a quote at Muslim conquest of the Indian subcontinent. Or he keeps making up his quotes eloquent, poignant, witty etc despite the "quotes" not even falling at all within the definition. He does this just to have his edits there at all costs. I've told him several times about this including here.

He falsely keeps saying I'm censoring him when all I've done is remove those quotes which arenb't notable in any manner. Not those which are notable and i've preserved many of the quotes he has added. also removed the subsection of my complaint here. He himself censors me here and here in the past.

I've warned him several times including here, here and here. He doesn't listen and has removed my comments several times from his talk page.

Not to mention this person has also insulted me by terming me annoying after another user called me so, besides also calling me a vandal, when he himself can be indicted for edit-warring and vandalism. please block this user. I've been trying to cooperate with him, but it is clear he only wants his ideology imposed here. Their is no bar on any person of any ideology, even though Wikiquote is about neutrality but he doesn't care about anything and is being unprofessional. and it is clear he doesn't care what he does to get his edits here at all costs.

Right after his block expired, Jedi3 is back at edit-warring before even waiting for a discussion and made 3 reverts at 3 articles. See his recent reverts, here, a sly attempt to befool others in edit summary at Aurangzeb of "article under construction", at Malabar rebellion. He proceeded to make additional subtractions and additions at Aurangzeb, even though a revrt is a revrt wheter partial or complete. He is trying to fool others. And just after his block expired, he has started edit-warring again and made three reverts. It is clear he has no intention to stop disruption and edit-war. I haven't opposed any dialogue, but he should stop his edit-warring. But it is clear he won't. Please block him. MonsterHunter32 (talk) 14:06, 24 March 2018 (UTC)

 * I'm sorry, but didn't you yourself post to Administrators' noticeboard about this? Yet in the five paragraphs you wrote above you don't mention this. As I said, other people are dealing with this, and trying to get more people involved won't help. - Ubiquity (talk) 16:01, 26 March 2018 (UTC)

Your advanced permissions on Wikiquote
Hello. A policy regarding the removal of "advanced rights" (administrator, bureaucrat, interface administrator, etc.) was adopted by community consensus in 2013. According to this policy, the stewards are reviewing activity on wikis with no inactivity policy.

You meet the inactivity criteria (no edits and no logged actions for 2 years) on this wiki. Since this wiki, to the best of our knowledge, does not have its own rights review process, the global one applies.

If you want to keep your advanced permissions, you should inform the community of the wiki about the fact that the stewards have sent you this information about your inactivity. A community notice about this process has been also posted on the local Village Pump of this wiki. If the community has a discussion about it and then wants you to keep your rights, please contact the stewards at the m:Stewards' noticeboard, and link to the discussion of the local community, where they express their wish to continue to maintain the rights.

If you wish to resign your rights, please request removal of your rights on Meta.

If there is no response at all after one month, stewards will proceed to remove your administrator and/or bureaucrat rights. In ambiguous cases, stewards will evaluate the responses and will refer a decision back to the local community for their comment and review. If you have any questions, please contact the stewards.

Yours faithfully.

 * Hello, today I removed your admin flag. Einsbor (talk) 08:21, 23 February 2021 (UTC)

 * OK. I can hardly say I've been using it. Ubiquity (talk) 10:30, 23 February 2021 (UTC)

Please come back
Please do come back after a break, it would be devastating to lose you :-(. Wikiquote needs you. Hope you're back soon. -- ო ~ #SheSaid 11:53, 28 February 2021 (UTC)

Welcome
Hi. Welcome to English Wikiquote. Enjoy! ~ Jeff Q (talk) 17:08, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

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 CaptainOT. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name CaptainOT~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 23:18, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
