Sourcing?

 * Please source your quotations. Including the name of the author is not all that helpful (although it is better than nothing).  If at all possible, include the name of the author, the name of the text, and a brief description of the context, especially if the source is a commentary or an academic work (and not a Buddhist primary source itself).
 * Preferably, this article would separate primary sources (i.e., texts intended to be Buddhist teachings) and secondary sources (i.e., texts about Buddhism, commenting on Buddhism). But, considering the enormity of the current article and the lack (in most places) of any sort of reference that would lend itself to verification and proper sourcing, I am at a loss as to where to begin.  Help?  tartaruga 17:52, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I messed it up!!!!! i sowiee, someone fix it please.

Cleanup
I've done a little work on arranging and formatting the quotes. There is a lot more that needs to be done which I'll try to get to as time permits. I have to go offline for a bit and didn't want anyone to think I'm satisfied with the present page. This is a quoteworthy subject and one I'm interested in, I'll see what I can do... --Bradeos Graphon 01:05, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

 * Like it or not, if you look at your own mind you will discover it is void and groundless; as insubstantial as empty space.
 * Padmasambhava

 * Buddhists believe that all human sufferings and dissatisfactions stem from desire or "thirst" (trishna) — for possessions, sensual pleasures, power, even for wisdom and knowledge—which warps our minds and distorts our understanding. The Buddha compared a life governed by the delusions of trishna to a river in flood, sweeping us away to a life of constant discontentment. Learning how to control our cravings is the raft that can carry us over the flood to the opposite shore of insight and peace of mind.

 * Sow a thought and reap an act Sow an act and reap a habit Sow a habit and reap a character Sow a character and reap a destiny

 * In criticizing, the teacher is hoping to teach. That's all.
 * Bankei

 * The true meaning of the precepts is not just that one should refrain from drinking alcohol, but also from getting drunk on nirvana.
 * Bassui

 * All know the Way, but few actually walk it.
 * Bodhidharma

 * If you don't find a teacher soon, you'll live this life in vain. It's true, you have the buddha-nature. But without the help of a teacher, you'll never know it. Only one person in a million becomes enlightened without a teacher's help. If, though, by the conjunction of conditions, someone understands what the Buddha meant, that person doesn't need a teacher. Such a person has a natural awareness superior to anything taught. But unless you're so blessed, study hard, and by means of instruction you'll understand.

 * Mindfulness is the aware, balanced acceptance of the present experience. It isn't more complicated that that. It is opening to or receiving the present moment, pleasant or unpleasant, just as it is, without either clinging to it or rejecting it.
 * Sylvia Boorstein

 * You can explore the universe, looking for somebody who is more deserving of your love and affection than you are yourself, and you will not find that person anywhere.

 * A brahmin once asked the Blessed One: "Are you a God?" "No, brahmin," said the Blessed One. "Are you a saint?" "No, brahmin," said the Blessed One. "Are you a magician?" "No, brahmin," said the Blessed One. "What are you then?" "I am awake."

 * Do not try to become anything. Do not make yourself into anything. Do not be a meditator. Do not become enlightened. When you sit, let it be. What you walk, let it be. Grasp at nothing. Resist nothing.
 * Ajahn Chah

 * If you haven't wept deeply, you haven't begun to meditate. ... The only reason we don't open our hearts and minds to other people is that they trigger confusion in us that we don't feel brave enough or sane enough to deal with. To the degree that we look clearly and compassionately at ourselves, we feel confident and fearless about looking into someone else's eyes.
 * Pema Chodron

 * The beauty of life is, while we cannot undo what is done, we can see it, understand it, learn from it and change so that every new moment is spent not in regret, guilt, fear or anger but in wisdom, understanding and love.
 * Jennifer Edwards

 * To deny the reality of things is to miss their reality; to assert the emptiness of things is to miss their reality. The more you talk and think about it, the further astray you wander from the truth. Stop talking and thinking and there is nothing you will not be able to know.
 * Hsin Hsin Ming

 * Although gold dust is precious, when it gets in your eyes, it obstructs your vision.
 * Hsi-Tang

 * ... And the other half is taking complete personal responsibility for getting there!
 * Joshua Bryer

 * Humans prepare for the future all their lives, yet meet the next life totally unprepared.
 * Drakpa Gyaltsen

 * When one does what Buddhas do, one is a Buddha. When one does what Bodhisattvas do, one is a Bodhisattva. When one does what Arhats do, one is an Arhat. When one does what ghosts do, one is a ghost. These are all natural phenomena. There are no shortcuts in cultivation.
 * Venerable Master Hsuan Hua

 * Our lives are based on what is reasonable and common sense; Truth is apt to be neither.
 * Christmas Humphreys

 * If you live the sacred and despise the ordinary, you are still bobbing in the ocean of delusion.
 * Lin-Chi

 * I prefer Buddhism because it gives three principles in combination, which no other religion does. Buddhism teaches prajna (understanding as against superstition and supernaturalism), karuna (love), and samata (equality). This is what man wants for a good and happy life. Neither god nor soul can save society.
 * Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar, Indian scholar, nationalist, jurist, political leader, Buddhist revivalist and an architect of the Indian Constitution

 * Sometimes one creates a dynamic impression by saying something, and sometimes one creates as significant an impression by remaining silent.
 * H.H. The 14th Dalai Lama

 * Suttas are not meant to be 'sacred scriptures' that tell us what to believe. One should read them, listen to them, think about them, contemplate them, and investigate the present reality, the present experience with them. Then, and only then, can one insightfully know the truth beyond words.
 * Venerable Sumedho

 * Of the great religions of history I prefer Buddhism, especially in its earliest forms because it has had the smallest element of persecution.
 * Bertrand Russell, British philosopher, logician, mathematician, historian, advocate for social reform, and pacifist

 * Hinduism and Buddhism offer much more sophisticated worldviews (or philosophies) and I see nothing wrong with these religions.
 * Richard Dawkins "Hinduism and Buddhism Offer Much More Sophisticated World Views or Philosophies and I see Nothing Wrong With These Religions", RichardDawkins.net.

v in PTS references does not mean verse
Please take care not to mistake the roman numeral v (meaning volume 5) for an abbreviation for "verse", as someone apparently did with a Samyutta reference.79.78.153.70 13:53, 17 April 2016 (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 Arthur Markham. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Arthur Markham~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.

Talk:Arrested Development (TV series)

24-12 Just added some separating lines and corrected a quote from prison break in that had a double negation.

-hey, there's a really great quote i can't locate. someone casually asks gob how he's doing and he replies something like: "excellent, it's been an excellent year".

The last quote from 1.10 is wrong. I don't know what the quote is but it's definitely incorrect. The lesson was that you leave a note when you're out of milk. Can someone check this one?

-   Lindsay: I'll tell you what. I'll take you down to see Nana if you split the money with me 60-40. Maeby: 55-55. Lindsay: Deal. Michael: Sounds like you guys are getting more than you think. Lindsay: We should go now before your Dad gets back. No need going halfsies with him, too.

This quote belongs in ep. "Missing Kitty". Please confirm. Please also confirm that the #ing of episodes is incorrect.

The link to the guy who plays Annyong, Justin Lee, points to some gay dude burn in '77. Seems like the wrong guy to me

Awww...
Where does it state you can only have two quotes per half hour show? I really liked this wikiquote page because of the amount of good quotes it had. Now I'm disappointed.... Killiondude 22:34, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
 * It states it here. -Sketchmoose 16:33, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

G.O.B. vs. Gob
The Wikipedia article for the show punctuates Michael's older brother's name "Gob" as opposed to "G.O.B." The reasons for this are discussed on the article's talk page, so for consistency and correctness (though it does not seem consistent in all the Wikipedia articles that mention it) I have changed it in this article as well. -Sketchmoose 14:43, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

Hostility to images
I was just about to leave from my current location, but checking in here, I noted your removal of an image from the section for Spain (1937) on the W. H. Auden page, with the comment "No dove, no papa, no engineer in illustration linked to quotation; please do not trivialize this page." I thus decided to make at least a few comments before I go.

I would much prefer people to not trivialize attempts at other's artistic or poetic presentations, but I accept that as one of the consequences of actually attempting them. I have noted your quite apparent hostility to the use of images for some years now, from a stance which commonly seems haughty and contemptuous, and I will confess that I too can manifest such attitudes at times, but usually only towards those who I perceive to seem most prone to manifest them unjustly or smugly. It is certainly your right to express your opinions and I encourage honest expressions of opinions as necessary to proper resolutions of conflicts. I have also conceded some of the images I could find in relation to quotes for that particular work about the Spanish Civil War were among the least satisfying matches I could make, but I still feel the use of them in drawing attention to some of the expressions of Auden and the facts or themes he refers to is better than to have no such images at all. I have asserted that there are probably better ones that might be found, and do not seek to discourage others from doing so. There will always be contentions about how quotes and other expressions should be presented, but I do believe most people do appreciate such efforts as people make to select and emphasize some of the best in ways that present more than a blank page to minds that often remain blank of many forms of knowledge or imagination about what a person speaks. I believe that Images generally make a page MORE interesting and informative to most people, and I continue to encourage their use, in opposition to those few who I perceive more inclined to promote rather passionless, uniform and dull monotony, for what can be a number or reasons I do not necessarily attempt to probe, nor pretend to fully fathom.

The image you removed is not one I will presently restore, because I concede the quote and potential associations that can be made with it are somewhat weak or obscure — but I actually do believe that image is entirely appropriate for the poem, and might search for a better quote from it to link to it, within a week or so. I remain too busy with many other things to spend much time on it presently. To the extent you have not engaged in simply removing images, I actually do appreciate some of the quotes you have added, and hope you will add more, perhaps to poets pages beyond those of Auden. Blessings. ~ ♞☮♌Kalki·†·⚓⊙☳☶⚡ 17:05, 16 March 2012 (UTC) + tweaks

Thank you very much
Thanks ever so much for your helpful participation at Village_pump and at Wikiquote_talk:Image_use_policy. Much appreciated! ;) Cheers, -- Cirt (talk) 18:51, 26 March 2012 (UTC)

re About images...
Strongly agree. The main problem now is, we mostly seem to be in agreement in the community, we just need to resolve this. :) -- Cirt (talk) 21:42, 26 March 2012 (UTC)

Next step
I'd like your advice, what do you think is the next step to take to help move things along at Wikiquote talk:Image use policy? -- Cirt (talk) 17:22, 27 March 2012 (UTC)
 * More about OTRS at w:WP:OTRS. -- Cirt (talk) 00:20, 28 March 2012 (UTC)

re "Dunces and dullards"?
Completely inappropriate language. But it's on his own user talk page, so that's given a little leeway, sometimes. You might want to consult with if you want more input about that type of inappropriate behavior from that user, as he had blocked that user in the past. -- Cirt (talk) 14:30, 10 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Hope it turns out with a constructive result for you. -- Cirt (talk) 17:56, 11 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Yeah, consensus is pretty clear by the numbers per support of moving forward definitively on this issue of the images policy. Specific language would be nice, so long as it results in, well, ... a result! -- Cirt (talk) 18:31, 11 April 2012 (UTC)

Carl Sagan
I've just entered a comment on Talk:Carl_Sagan on which I am sure you would like to comment. Don't get me wrong, I am not trying to reverse the policy that was fully discussed - I'm just not sure of the application of it. Thanks. ~ UDScott (talk) 13:56, 2 July 2012 (UTC)

Antony and Cleopatra
I just reverted your removal of the 19th century paintings showing characters in the play, because the image use policy is not so restrictive as to forbid them. The page could certainly be better illustrated, but I would prefer that it had some (mediocre) illustrations rather than none. -- User: Tryst  (talk to me!) 20:43, 2 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Any choice of image creates an interpretation. Whether to use 19th century depictions is really a matter of taste, so please replace any such images you remove with other suitable illustrations. You're doing excellent work (i.e. Samuel Taylor Coleridge), so don't let my comments deter you. -- User: Tryst  (talk to me!) 12:53, 3 July 2012 (UTC)

Comment brackets
I have corrected your edit to the Jorge Luis Borges article. Please be careful with brackets. If the closing delimiter is missing or incorrect then everything up to the next closing delimiter or the end of the article will be removed! ~ Ningauble (talk) 16:38, 23 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Thank you! Will triple- or quadruple-check this in the future! - Macspaunday (talk) 18:33, 23 July 2012 (UTC)

E. M. Forster
It is clear that you are working hard in this project but please be careful when removing images. That was such a messy edit. Regards. --Omnipaedista (talk) 15:53, 6 August 2012 (UTC)

Sock puppet of Kalki
Hi,

on 22 August 2012, at 12:07 you expressed at my talk page concern that my account may be a sock puppet of Kalki. This is not the case, but what led you to this assumption? Thanks in advance. --P3Y229 (talk) 12:50, 22 August 2012 (UTC)

re Quote of the day
Have you noticed that your comment on this subject seems to have had an effect? In recent days, the quote of the day has been illustrated mostly by pictures of the authors, instead of Hoag's Object, lights seen through fog, hands reaching to the sky, etc. And the quotations themselves seem to be designed to make clear to benighted people of limited imagination that they need to learn about idealism and justice and freedom before they can understand that galaxies, rainbows, and heart-shaped stones are (to the properly instructed mind) sources of wisdom and enlightenment. - Macspaunday (talk) 19:14, 24 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Yes,, I was noticing clear consensus from the community at the Village Pump discussions in multiple threads over time on this, so I was removing some superfluous images. For example, here, making the pages much more focused on quotes, instead of images which seem to be the artistic expression of the quote page layout individual, and not necessarily directly relevant to the quotes. -- Cirt (talk) 19:37, 24 February 2014 (UTC)

Please
Please see User talk:Cirt, and Administrators%27_noticeboard.

I specifically went to Village Pump, first, with this.

At Village Pump, it appears the community consensus does not support misusing the Main Page in this manner by one user.

I was previously unaware that one user gets to decide the Wikiquote Quote of the Day layout and dictate it to the rest of the community without any correction whatsoever.

It is frustrating that Image use policy and NPOV are being flagrantly violated on the Main Page.

What are your thoughts about Administrators%27_noticeboard?

Thank you for your time,

-- Cirt (talk) 03:05, 26 February 2014 (UTC)

Thanks very much
Thank you for your kind comments.

I'm taking a break from participating in these sorts of discussions or indeed major activity on Wikiquote, in favor of other quality improvement projects for the time being.

I'll check in every so often at my user talk page.

Thanks again,

-- Cirt (talk) 15:53, 26 February 2014 (UTC)

Good Night, and Good Luck

Good Night, and Good Luck is a 2005  historical drama film based on the old CBS news program See It Now set in 1954. It was a major influence on TV journalism which spawned many successors. The show was hosted by Edward R. Murrow, viewed by many journalists as one of journalism's greatest figures, for his honesty and integrity. The program is best remembered as the show that criticized McCarthyism and the Red Scare, contributing, if not leading, to the political downfall of Senator Joseph McCarthy. The film was directed by George Clooney and was nominated for six Academy Awards.

Edward R. Murrow's Radio-Television News Directors Association Convention Address, delivered 15 October 1958, Chicago, Illinois
(full text & youtube link to a 37 min recording of the presentation)
 * This just might do nobody any good. At the end of this discourse a few people may accuse this reporter of fouling his own comfortable nest, and your organization may be accused of having given hospitality to heretical and even dangerous thoughts. But I am persuaded that the elaborate structure of networks, advertising agencies, and sponsors will not be shaken or altered. It is my desire, if not my duty, to try to talk to you journeymen with some candor about what is happening to radio and television in this generous and capacious land.
 * I have no technical advice or counsel to offer those of you who labor in this vineyard, the one that produces words and pictures. You will, I am sure, forgive me for not telling you that the instruments with which you work are miraculous, that your responsibility is unprecedented, or that your aspirations are frequently frustrated. It is not necessary to remind you of the fact that your voice, amplified to the degree where it reaches from one end of the country to the other, does not confer upon you greater wisdom than when your voice reached only from one end of the bar to the other.
 * All of these things -- All of these things you know. You should also know at the outset that, in the manner of witnesses before Congressional committees, I appear here voluntarily -- by invitation; that I am an employee of the Columbia Broadcasting System; that I am neither an officer nor any longer a director of that corporation; and that these remarks are strictly of a "do-it-yourself" nature. If what I have to say is responsible, then I alone am responsible for the saying of it. Seeking neither approbation from my employers, nor news sponsors, nor acclaim from the critics of radio and television, I cannot very well be disappointed.
 * Believing that potentially the commercial system of broadcasting as practiced in this country is the best and freest yet devised, I have decided to express my concern about what I believe to be happening to radio and television. These instruments have been good to me beyond my due. There exists in my mind no reasonable grounds for any kind of personal complaint. I have no feud, either with my employers, any sponsors, or with the professional critics of radio and television. But I am seized with an abiding fear regarding what these two instruments are doing to our society, our culture, and our heritage.
 * End of quotes from Convention Address

Edward R. Murrow

 * To those who say people wouldn't look; they wouldn't be interested; they're too complacent, indifferent, and insulated, I can only reply: There is, in one reporter's opinion, considerable evidence against that contention. But even if they are right, what have they got to lose? Because if they are right, and this instrument is good for nothing but to entertain, amuse, and insulate, then the tube is flickering now and we will soon see that the whole struggle is lost.
 * This instrument can teach; it can illuminate; yes, and even it can inspire. But it can do so only to the extent that humans are determined to use it to those ends. Otherwise it's nothing but wires and lights in a box. There is a great and perhaps decisive battle to be fought against ignorance, intolerance, and indifference. This weapon of television could be useful.
 * Stonewall Jackson, who is generally believed to have known something about weapons, is reported to have said, "When war comes, you must draw the sword and throw away the scabbard." The trouble with television is that it is rusting in the scabbard during a battle for survival.
 * Thank you for your patience.

 * We cannot defend freedom abroad by deserting it at home.
 * We're going with this story. Because the terror is right here in this room.
 * No one familiar with the history of his country, can deny that congressional committees are useful. It is necessary to investigate before legislating.

 * The line between investigating and persecuting is a very fine one, and the junior senator from Wisconsin has stepped over it repeatedly…. We must not confuse dissent with disloyalty. We must remember always that accusation is not proof and that conviction depends upon evidence and due process of law.

 * We will not walk in fear, one of another…. We are not descended from fearful men — not from men who feared to write, to speak, to associate, and to defend causes that were, for the moment, unpopular….

 * This is no time for men who oppose Sen. McCarthy's methods to keep silent or for those who approve. We can deny our heritage and our history but we cannot escape responsibility for the result. There is no way for a citizen of the republic to abdicate his responsibilities. As a nation we have come into our full inheritance at a tender age. We proclaim ourselves as indeed we are, the defenders of freedom where ever it still exists in the world. But we cannot defend freedom abroad by deserting it at home.
 * The actions of the Junior Senator from Wisconsin have caused alarm and dismay amongst our allies abroad and given considerable comfort to our enemies. And who's fault is that? Not really his; he didn't create this situation of fear, he merely exploited it, and rather successfully. Cassius was right: the fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, but in ourselves. Good night, and good luck.
 * Funny thing, Freddie, every time you light a cigarette for me, I know you're lying.
 * Referring to a line from Julius Caesar recited by Senator McCarthy: Had Senator McCarthy looked just three lines earlier he would have found this: "The fault dear Brutus, is not in our stars but in ourselves...”
 * We have currently a built-in allergy to unpleasant or disturbing information. Our mass media reflect this. But unless we get up off our fat surpluses and recognize that television in the main is being used to distract, delude, amuse, and insulate us, then television and those who finance it, those who look at it, and those who work at it, may see a totally different picture too late.

Joseph McCarthy

 * Good evening. Mr. Edward R. Murrow, Educational Director of the Columbia Broadcasting System, devoted his program to an attack on the work of the United States Senate Investigating Committee, and on me personally as its chairman, and over the past four years he has made repeated attacks upon me and those fighting Communists.

 * Now, ordinarily--I would not take time out from the important work at hand to answer Murrow. However, in this case, I feel justified in doing so because Murrow is a symbol,a leader and the cleverest of the jackal pack which is always found at the throat of anyone who dares to expose individual Communists and traitors.

Fred Friendly

 * There's no news, boys, so go out there and make some news. Rob a bank, mug an old lady, whatever - just do something.
 * Turn the phones on!
 * Might as well go down swinging.

William Paley

 * I'm with you today Ed, and I'm with you tomorrow.
 * My cards. You lose, what happens? Five guys find themselves out of work. I'm responsible for a hell of a lot more than five god damned reporters. Let it go. McCarthy will self-destruct.
 * There's a Knickerbocker game tonight, I've got front row seats. Are you interested?

Quotes about

 * Murrow and his reporting staff discovered Senator McCarthy was exploiting U.S. Air Force Reserve Lieutenant Milo Radulovich. Lieutenant Radulovich’s father, John, and his sister, Mrs. Margaret Fishman, were labeled communist sympathizers; and their close association with him caused a backlash. Without a trial, Radulovich was labeled a security risk by Senator McCarthy’s committee and lost his commission in the Reserves.Murrow and his staff found Senator McCarthy’s tactics and methodology questionable and decided to interview Lieutenant Radulovich on Murrow’s news documentary television show “See It Now.” Murrow’s broadcast drew attention to Radulovich’s plight and he was reinstated into the Air Force Reserves. McCarthy was given an opportunity for a rebuttal on “See It Now.” During the March 1954 episode, McCarthy questioned Murrow’s loyalties and labeled him a Communist sympathizer as well. Murrow’s staff was placed under close scrutiny. Faced with pressure from the CBS network to let the matter rest or lose sponsors, he and his staff decided it was imperative they point out the errors in McCarthy’s claims. McCarthy’s support waned after Murrow’s broadcast.
 * Film Review: ‘Good Night, and Good Luck’, Tufts University Murrow Collection, (2005)

 * The issues raised in the film, where to draw the line between reporting and editorializing, and the balance of news and entertainment in the media company, are still with us today.
 * Good Night, and Good Luck, PBS News, Jeffrey Brown, (6 Oct 2005)

 * In the movie, Murrow, played by David Strathairn, decides to expose the tactics of McCarthy by using senator's own words. Murrow's boss, William Paley, the legendary head of CBS, is by turn supportive and plenty worried about the impact the report will have on his network. But Paley would relent and the program aired, intensifying a public outcry against McCarthy. In late 1954, the senator was censured by his colleagues in the U.S. Senate.There is inevitably a political side to a film that looks at a period of history in which many Americans then and now believe civil liberties were threatened in the hunt for communists.
 * Good Night, and Good Luck, PBS News, Jeffrey Brown, (6 Oct 2005)

 * Murrow taking on McCarthy was one of the great high points in broadcast journalism, along with Cronkite stepping out from behind his desk and talking about how Vietnam doesn't work were two moments in broadcast journalism that you could point directly to and say actually changed American policy... I don't know a reporter that doesn't want to break a big news story. It is constantly the battle between commerce and news, or keeping entertainment from pushing the news off the air... I was looking to open a debate, to have a discussion, to be able to talk about issues that I think are important. It's simply saying, as Murrow says in the film, we have to find a way to find a safe place between the protection of the individual and the protection of the state at the same time.
 * George Clooney in Good Night, and Good Luck, PBS News, Jeffrey Brown, (6 Oct 2005)

 * I'm terrified of waking up at 65 years old, which is getting closer, and to wake up and say I didn't do the things that I was supposed to do... as a citizen... As someone who is well-known... I can help bring focus... And I try to, as a son of a journalist, when I take on those causes, to be really well informed so that they can't marginalize you or make you an idiot along the way.
 * George Clooney in Good Night, and Good Luck, PBS News, Jeffrey Brown, (6 Oct 2005)

 * "Good Night, and Good Luck" couldn't be more unlikely, more unfashionable or more compelling. Everything about it stands in stark opposition to the trends of the moment. Yet by sticking to events that are half a century old, it tells a story whose implications for today are inescapable. "Good Night" is a marvel of classic restraint in a hopped-up film culture. Shot in elegant black and white and featuring impeccable acting, it exists because of the lonely passion of director and co-star George Clooney... the son of a TV anchorman. That made him determined to examine in some detail the stand CBS newsman Edward R. Murrow took in 1954 against Senator Joseph McCarthy. Clooney had the nerve to believe that a drama of ideas could be as entertaining as "Desperate Housewives." He insisted that a fight for America's soul, a clash of values over intellectual issues like freedom of the press, had an intensity that would carry everything before it, and it does.
 * 'Good Night and Good Luck': Murrow vs. McCarthy, NPR Morning Edition, Kenneth Turan, (7 October 7, 2005)

 * On March 9, 1954, in a broadcast that has been called television’s finest hour... The show prompted more than 10,000 phone calls and 70,000 letters and telegrams — 15 to 1 in favor of Murrow. On the street, truck drivers yelled out, “Good show, Ed!” On December 2, 1954, the Senate formally reprimanded McCarthy by a vote of 67 to 22 for conduct unbecoming a senator. In speaking truth to power, Murrow hastened McCarthy’s downfall and may have been pivotal in it.Good Night, and Good Luck functions on several levels. It is a cautionary tale about unrestrained political power and its use of public hysteria. It is also a tribute to the power of a dissenting media to expose and correct injustice. As such, the movie reproaches today’s journalism that embraces safety.
 * Good Night, and Good Luck -- movie review by Wendy McElroy, Laissez Faire  (24 Feb 2012)

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 Itcleft. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Itcleft~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.

Wikiquote:Votes for deletion archive/Blue Collar Comedy Tour

 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was: no consensus. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 04:50, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

Blue Collar Comedy Tour
This page has been empty of quotes since it was created last March. Is it worth keeping for the sake of the links to the individual comedians? Antiquary 21:16, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

 * Vote closes: 22:00, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Vote extended to 22:00, 24 December 2006 (UTC) (see explanation below). ~ Jeff Q (talk) 22:49, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Vote closed. Result: no consensus (4 keeps, 2 weak; 2 deletes, 1 weak). Usually I'd consider 2/3 a consensus, but there's a lack of conviction on both sides. We might want to revisit this article in a few months to see how things develop. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 04:50, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete . The creator of the page apparently did so strictly "for navigation purposes" and probably had no intention of adding quotes, since each individual in the group has a page of their own. But it doesn't seem to me that WQ has this kind of navigation page. I looked for other examples (for instance "Algonquin Round Table", which doesn't exist, and "The Original Kings of Comedy" which exists but has quotes too) and couldn't find any. Would changing this to a category make sense? --Ubiquity 22:29, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

 * Keep. I think it's reasonable that someone might want to find quotes from these guys armed only with the words "blue collar comedy tour." But searching on that term only brings up one of the four comedians. Let's keep it as a navigation page (as intended). There's no need to use it as a disambiguation page since none of the three films have WQ articles of their own. --Ubiquity 23:28, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

 * Comment: We do have a handful of navigation-type pages. Some are more like disambiguation, like Batman, and others organize groups of articles, like Star Trek and Star Wars. For a category to take its place, so that entering "blue collar comedy tour" would bring up useful information, either this title would have to be mentioned in each article, or the user searching for it would need to include the "Category" namespace in their search preferences, I think. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 23:57, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. - InvisibleSun 00:40, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment: If the four comedians had BCCT quotes on their pages, I could see the point of keeping this. Since no such quotes can be found, anyone coming to this page to find quotes from BCCT will end up not getting what he was looking for.  As for keeping it because of its potential as a collection of dialogue quotes, I would argue that a page can only be kept for what it is and not for what it might possibly become.  - InvisibleSun 04:56, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I wouldn't have vote for "keep" (see below) if I'd thought the article wasn't at least acceptable in its current state, but you make good points. As it is, with 3 keeps to 2 deletes and lots of iffy-ness as I post this, I think we're still heading for a no-consensus. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 07:06, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

 * Weak delete. While, as Jeff said, we do have some cases of navigation-type pages, I think that the Star Wars and Star Trek pages in particular serve the important purpose of making it easier to find the particular pages; considering the use of punctuation (colons), roman numerals and the long titles, it's easy to mistype one of the long names, and we don't have redirects from every likely misspelling, not to mention those people who don't know what the full titles are, or which corresponds to which numbered film. Batman does basically the same, and also disambiguates a few things which don't have a longer name to disambiguate themselves. After looking at Blue Collar Comedy Tour, I would have no problem supporting this as a disambiguation/navigation page for pages for the three "Blue Collar Comedy Tour" films (as well as the "Blue Collar TV" series), and I would have no problem with such a page having a "See also" section with links to the individual comedians; I'm not convinced that we need to have a page like this one, but on the other hand, I'm not sure that there's any compelling reason to delete it, either. —LrdChaos (talk) 14:55, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

 * Comment: I've extended this vote for another 7 days because I see a lack of surety in the community on this. Although we have 3 explicit deletes and no dissent, only one of these deletes is unconditional, and the rest (as well as the comments) aren't predicated on article changes, but rather community opinions, which are more questions than answers at this time. We are also missing votes and comments from many of our regulars. It seems like another week might help resolve this. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 22:49, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

 * Comment. I'm not familiar with the subject, being on the right side of the Atlantic. It seems to me that it meets the bar of notability, but yet there are no quotes. It's not clear to me whether the four comedians interact and if so, how. However, how about a category instead of a page? If the group doesn't produce dialogue, or they are quoted as discrete single contributions from dialogue, then that may be the better way to handle it. Fys. “Ta fys aym”. 17:14, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
 * A category is logical, but as I mentioned above, I don't believe entering "Blue Collar Comedy Tour" in the Search box will present any results if the only instance is Category:Blue Collar Comedy Tour, unless one includes categories in one's search preferences, which few are likely to do. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 08:29, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

 * Keep. I hope we're not opening another can of worms, but I think the commonly known name, the problem with lookup using only categories, the usefulness of having bidirectional links with Blue Collar Comedy Tour, and the potential for using this article for dialog between the members makes this a reasonable index article. (I may regret this if we eventually do the same for Four Bitchin' Babes or other groups with rotating lineups of solo entertainers working together, but BCCT is a static group, at least for now.) ~ Jeff Q (talk) 08:37, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak keep, per Jeffq and other dialogue above. ~ UDScott 14:15, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

 * Having seen all the issues thrashed out I've now come round to voting Weak keep. Antiquary 12:48, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

 * The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the debate. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

[X.Y] numbering for Futurama
I've reverted your addition of "[season.episode #]" to the titles for Futurama. Typical Wikiquote pratice is to only include the numbers for active shows, or for inactive shows where are aren't sections for all the episodes. Also, in the case of Futurama, changing the titles breaks the custom table of contents at the top of the page. —LrdChaos (talk) 14:51, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

Pete Doherty quotes
An editor using this IP address has been adding a number of quotes to Pete Doherty. Based on the edit pattern (adding one quote at a time, tweaking others, all with substantial time between), I deduce that you are reading material that you are excerpting from. If this is coming from a book or an official or otherwise reliable website, could you specify exactly where this material can be found (e.g., web address, book/magazine title, edition/issue, page number)? We require that material ultimately be properly sourced, and I don't want to miss an opportunity to get sources from someone who may have them right in front of them.

 * I'm the person who has been editing the Pete Doherty quotes. I have hundreds of articles on Pete Doherty and his bands (most with cited sources) saved on a Microsoft Word document on my computer. That's where I've been reading through articles and searching for quotes. :)

 * Could you please add the sources that you have to the quotes? They would greatly help editors verify and correct quotes, an essential part of our quote compliation process. And it would also help to identify information that may not be obvious to non-fans, like what "NME" means. (Many editors who research quote origins and verify material are not experts on the subject, but are just confirming that the material matches what the sources say.) Thank you. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 02:56, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

imagination

in what seems

entering new space...

lets imagine a place

other than this

a photograph of mind

in the absense of time

... only space

let us dream

of tomorrows

into todays

i can think of nothing

more worth living

than the lives we live

inadaze

between days

#2
so many loves

the tastes

the colors

the way each smells

the way each aches

senses were made for living

living made for loving

#3
i feel like everything i say. ive said before. everyone i meet. ive met before...

#4
festivities keep us sane. as pause from heavy breathing

sitting still in a wicked place can for a moment. allow a bit of resting.

it is the only way to stay alive. and yet perhaps. die inside

where we come from. doesnt have to be. where we are

all we see. doesnt have to be. what we believe

our faces change in different light. and in growing times

nothings the same. is not what was.

was only exists in now.

and now is all there is.

9 7 oh 6
people who live in gutters amongst smoke and smog

cant feel the warmth of a blanket of stars

they cant smell a breathing ocean

what reason do they have to protect it

places they will never get to see

why would they give if they never receive

there are so many movements that make the world go round

save the planet. stop the war. feed the hungry. no more genocide...

so much movement that now everything feels still

differences in people. different places and tastes.

it is relative. it is the same.

relativity creates conflict. from inside. from outside.

conflicts. and resolutions. cycles&cycles of misunderstandings.

it seems the only reason to act is to react.

and we have neverending movement.

circles these circles are what make the world go round

good morning
woke up this morning, hungry and dirty, with a clear head and a hopeful heart. ready for adventure. wide awake and with four hours until i had to be at my desk. i decided to burn my time slowly. let it soak in... i took a shower. without it having been overdue, it would have felt ordinary. but not this time... i dressed myself in brown stripes under a black lace sweater and grey shorts to the knees. rainbows over plaid preppy socks ready to slowly tread the hours...

i got in my car. started it up and took off- ears swimming in peaceful melodies. window down. heater on. i stopped at the bagel shop. one onion. one sundried tomatoe. both soaked in cream cheese and soothing to my stomach's empty aches. i relished these slowly as i drove and made my way south down valley view all the way to warner. warner to pch. and onto my favorite strip of highway. here. or anywhere else...

the sky was beautiful, climbing over the wetlands, the sands, the ocean. to my right were double peddlars on one bike. a jogger with their dog. lovers holding hands looking towards the seas. dogs and people running together on the coast. in the breaks of waves-surfers and drifters. boats afar and in the west, a forgotten island, remembered. farther down, i turned onto balboa peninsula towards the newport pier. circled the crowded parking lot like a shark looking for a spot. satiated as i found one. with windows up and a watchful eye i swallowed fire. inhaled the earth. blue grew bluer. waves crashed softer. beautiful beyond words. the kind you can only see with closed eyes. i saw with open eyes. after feeding the meter i took a few steps out onto the sidewalk where sand fell on concrete. stood with closed eyes opened soaking it in. the sounds. the winds. people at their prettiest. leisuring in beauty. adventure. the subtle smell of the sea. of life.

strolled down farther. barefoot in the sand. put them back on as i approached the concrete. i walked all the way down the pier. warm smiles from passersby. and stopped at the side to watch the surfers from birdseye. farther along i stopped again. what seemed to be the shoulder and head of a number of people, were a group of ducks sitting, swimming in the water below. not a V but a crucked S. they swam peacefully. but over came two others wanting to play. diving deep. poking from underneath. the ducks squabled but quickly forgot. swimming together. yet all by themselves.

i walked even farther around the diner in the game of fishermen catching dinner for families. walked quickly around as to be a passing wind. on the other side of the pier there was little movement. only open endless sea. endless. endless. or what seemed to be. vastness that humbles. awes and astounds. with closed open eyes. again i let it soak in. breathed it in. swam in it. drowned in it. forgot everything.

as time ran low. i walked back towards my car. once again. barefoot in the sand. took one last look and got inside...

i drove away. losing myself in streets. exploring places ive never seen. may never see again. boats on docks. houses behind harbors. streets that begin and end at the same place...

with just enough time left i found the tea shop. drank an ice cold jasmine tea and went on my way...

pulled into the lot. surrounded by blocks of buildings. walked towards my desk at this glass and metal house to begin my day. to sit at my desk within walls of gray. to stare at a screen. shuffle through paper. begin my day... but oh! what a morning!
