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

What fault, good sir?

 * Why?

''I am curious to know why you reverted the quote I had posted on the "Environmentalism" page. Writtenright 03:17, 30 March 2007 (UTC)Writtenright''

 * I'm still wondering

Aphaia-san:

''I am still wondering why you reverted my addition to the "Environmentalism" page. I assume that there is a reason.Writtenright 18:13, 1 April 2007 (UTC)Writtenright''

 * Fain would I ken thine innermost design

''Fain would I ken thine innermost design/ For having done thy bold deletion new;/ And, having lost fore'er a text of mine,/ I only seek to ken thy point of view./Writtenright 18:29, 2 April 2007 (UTC)Writtenright''

 * The writer, abject, plaineth for good cause

''Thou mayst, as is thy wont, "revert", "delete"/ Those lines which thou thyself may deem not meet;/ But I do only beg for reason true,/ And that thou wouldst explain thy point of view./ Writtenright 06:27, 3 April 2007 (UTC)Writtenright''

 * What fault, good sir?

''I have my point of view, as thou hast thine,/ Regarding what be base and what be fine./ What fault, good sir, did lie within my text?/ I bid thee but explain, for I am vexed./ Writtenright 03:04, 4 April 2007 (UTC)Writtenright''

 * Pray sir, fret not into a tizzy
 * Aphaia's, with divers wikis, busy
 * Nor might she kenn your fine rhymed line
 * As English b'not her favored wine
 * Some patience must we ask you please
 * Her native tongue is Japanese

 * So, in her stead, might I suggest
 * To cease this chat; be not a pest
 * Do not your reputation worsen
 * She gave her cause at "famous person"
 * Tho I had not agreed with that
 * I 'fessed reluctance to look at
 * The general bind of round'bout quote
 * Of bumper stickers others wrote

 * The wisest course to make your case
 * Is posting in the proper place
 * The talk page of the subject hence
 * Is where to 'scribe your evidence
 * And argue for the chosen quip
 * Then let the controversy rip
 * Or, failing that, a silent crowd
 * Would indicate the quote allow'd

 * In any case, to aid your task
 * Feel free, if any questions, ask

Wikiquote is not a forum of poetry
For your notice, your edit is removed. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. --Aphaia 04:43, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

 * To look at it a different way, perhaps, consider that talk pages are intended to help users work out issues. Penning a few clever verses to call attention to a problem is amusing and did serve its purpose, but continued use of rhyming iambic meter and archaisms fails to serve any real purpose other than to (A) show us your wit, which you've certainly convinced me is considerable; and (B) annoy people who are trying to conduct Wikiquote business using modern English prose, the lingua franca of en:WQ. I intentionally linked the poetic "pest" with w:Wikipedia:Troll to warn you (perhaps too subtly) that carrying on lengthy communciations that annoy Wikiquotians who are trying to get work done can easily be considered "trolling", and is a blocking offense. I think this particular "beau jest" has run its course.

 * It doesn't help that your latest offering has a tone of condescension to it. Aphaia is probably more wiki-experienced than you and I combined. She also is one of our advocates for avoiding too much bias against notable but non-English works, so suggesting that she is missing "subtle games" because she's from "Nihon's fabled plains", while implying that the road to this "brave new world" is through England and America, and failing to demonstrate your own awareness of en:Wikiquote's brave new world (from your perspective), isn't very wise.

 * I might also mention that, although Aphaia has generally welcomed small tweaks to her posts for spelling or grammar, even I (whom she generally trusts) confine these to changes that are strictly necessary to make the meaning clear. (I'm sure you know that changing users' posts is normally highly discouraged, and is another blocking offense.) Making a bunch of changes to the leading text of the talk page of someone who you've already managed to annoy is quite rash.

 * In summary, you've managed to hit quite a few sore spots of at least two longtime Wikiquote editors in less than 20 edits in 9 days. Frankly, if I were you, I'd concentrate on regular article work and following policies and practices closely in your edits for a while. ☺ (Of course, if your "Ships cannot stay" quote is meant as a comment on your experience thus far and a kind of farewell, this may not be an issue for you. But I would hope than an experienced Wikipedian could understand that it is important to work with people, not to taunt them, especially when one enters a new project, as they all have unique communities.) ~ Jeff Q (talk) 08:49, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

Talk:The Phantom of the Opera (2004 film)

Organisation
I think this page should be organised into Dialogue quotes from each character and Music quotes from each character. Understandably dialogue would go after as there is less dialogue than music. Anyone oppose it? I'll save the original to my computer if any oppose the changes.--Lauren317 08:37, 29 March 2007 (UTC) Done! Wow that took a while-but i think it looks much more organised and tidy now :D --Lauren317 09:33, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Go for it, if it helps make things abit clearer its all good--McNoddy 09:21, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

 * I'm afraid this arrangement is most definitely not what we're looking for. An essential part of properly sourcing film quotes is identifying where in the film the quote occurs, so that editors may verify the quotes. (This is how Wikimedia projects handle improving accuracy in the absence of an editorial board.) The format for films that we've had in place for a couple of years is to place dialog quotes in chronological order, using the "Dialogue" format shown in Templates/Films. Although "character" sections are currently accepted, they should still include some information to indicate the scene for sourcing purposes.

 * Unfortunately, our policy pages are lagging behind the growing effort across Wikimedia projects to improve sourcing. I've been recommending that, whenever possible, film quotes be provided in chrono-sorted dialog segments, even for single lines, to help us do this kind of sourcing.

 * I apologize for not catching your question before you did your work, Lauren317, but 50 minutes is far too little time to post a question on Wikiquote and expect to get substantial response for major restructuring. It's also a good idea when considering restructuring an article to review Templates and its genre subpages to see what the established structures are, lest the article be tagged for cleanup, as UDScott has done.

 * If you have any questions, feel free to post them here or on my talk page. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 09:32, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

Sourced

 * It sometimes happens that one or the other of the black slaves either imagines truthfully, or out of rascality pretends to have seen and heard an apparition or ghost which they call water mama, which ghost would have ordered them not to work on such or such a day, but to spend it as a holy day for offering with the blood of a white hen, to sprinkle this or that at the water-side and more of that monkey-business, adding in such cases that if they do not obey this order, shortly Watermama will make their child or husband etc. die or harm them otherwise.
 * Ontwerp tot een beschryving van Surinaamen, c. 1744. Quoted in van Stipriaan 327.

 * Papa, Nago, Arada and other slaves who commonly are brought here under the name Fida [Ouidah] slaves, have introduced certain devilish practices into their dancing, which they have transposed to all other slaves; when a certain rhythm is played... they are possessed by their god, which is generally called Watramama.

Jim Brown

James Nathaniel Brown (February 17, 1936 – May 18, 2023) was a retired American professional football player who has also made his mark as an actor and social activist. He is best known for his exceptional and record-setting nine-year career as a running back for the NFL Cleveland Browns from 1957 to 1965. He is universally acclaimed as one of the best running backs of all time, and in 2002 was named by The Sporting News as the greatest professional football player ever. Sportswriter Bert Randolph Sugar named Brown #1 in his book The Greatest Athletes of All Time.

About

 * He told me, 'Make sure when anyone tackles you, he remembers how much it hurts.' He lived by that philosophy and I always followed that advice.
 * John Mackey (football player) 1999. Cambridge Encyclopedia vol. 39

 * Jimmy Brown made headlines recently for his off-the-wall talk of an NFL comeback at 47. That's a shame because people who never saw Jimmy Brown in his prime will think of him only as a dotty middle-aged man on a colossal ego trip.

Omar Bakri Muhammad

Omar Bakri Muhammad (Arabic: عمر بکری محمد; born 1958) is a Syrian Islamist militant leader born in Aleppo. He was instrumental in developing Hizb ut-Tahrir in the United Kingdom before leaving the group and heading to another Islamist organisation, Al-Muhajiroun, until its disbandment in 2004.

Quotes

 * I want Britain to become an Islamic state. I want to see the flag of Islam raised in 10 Downing Street.
 * As quoted in "Militant groups in the UK" (18 June 2002), by Audrey Gillan, The Guardian

 * First of all, Al-Qaeda is a phenomenon...If it is an organization only, I have no link to the organization whatsoever, nor to Sheikh Osama bin Laden, nor to anybody in Al-Qaeda. It is the phenomenon of Al-Qaeda – what they believe, and what their own path is, what their own methods are. I believe Al-Qaeda... Every Muslim around the world shares many things with them. They pray toward the Ka'ba – we pray toward the Ka'ba. They pray five times a day – we pray five times a day. They are Muslims – we are Muslims. They fight against occupiers – we fight against occupiers. So we share with them all these Islamic values. But we don't share with them the structures, activities, and actions. Therefore, if you speak about Al-Qaeda as an organization with a particular dogma, a particular thought and method – definitely, I do not have a relationship with Al-Qaeda. Otherwise I do not think I would be at this table.

 * Jihad is a religious means to a religious goal - to elevate the word of Allah. This is what Jihad for the sake of Allah, in the sense of fighting, means, although we accept that there is another meaning to Jihad....we have two kinds of terrorism - commendable terrorism and reprehensible terrorism. Reprehensible terrorism is an attack on women, children, the peaceful, and the innocent.... [ Quran says,] "Do not kill the soul which Allah has forbidden, except when required by justice." In other words, a Muslim carry out certain religious duties, so when he attacks the enemy attacked on its own land, some innocent people might consequently die, but they are not killed intentionally.
 * Islamic Scholars Debate the Meaning of Jihad March 2007.

Talk:John Quincy Adams

A totally bogus quote has been added to this article more than once: "Galloping around the cosmos is a game for the young." This is actually a quote of the character James T. Kirk in the Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, and so far as I am aware has nothing to do with John Quincy Adams. ~ Kalki 02:00, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

Bogus quotes
The first of these quotes is attributed to Adams in The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam (and the Crusades) (1995) by Robert Spencer, and the other might be at some other places on the internet, but actually are from a tract in [http://books.google.com/books?pg=PA267&dq=%22transcendent%20genius%2C%20with%20the%20preternatural%20energy%20of%20a%20fanatic%2C%20and%20the%20fraudulent%20spirit%22&ei=dwDkTMfNMsP7lweYu52dDQ&ct=result&id=Vm1OAAAAYAAJ&output=text The American Annual Register (1830) by Joseph Blunt, Ch. X, in a section entitled "Christianity contrasted with Islamism", p. 269]

 * And he [Jesus] declared, that the enjoyment of felicity in the world hereafter, would be reward of the practice of benevolence here. His whole law was resolvable into the precept of love; peace on earth – good will toward man, was the early object of his mission; and the authoritative demonstration of the immortality of man, was that, which constituted the more than earthly tribute of glory to God in the highest… The first conquest of the religion of Jesus, was over the unsocial passions of his disciples.  It elevated the standard of the human character in the scale of existence…On the Christian system of morals, man is an immortal spirit, confined for a short space of time, in an earthly tabernacle.  Kindness to his fellow mortals embraces the whole compass of his duties upon earth, and the whole promise of happiness to his spirit hereafter.  THE ESSENCE OF THIS DOCTRINE IS, TO EXALT THE SPIRITUAL OVER THE BRUTAL PART OF HIS NATURE."

 * In the seventh century of the Christian era, a wandering Arab of the lineage of Hagar [i.e., Muhammad],  the Egyptian, combining the powers of transcendent genius, with the preternatural energy of a fanatic, and the fraudulent spirit of an impostor, proclaimed himself as a messenger from Heaven, and spread desolation and delusion over an extensive portion of the earth.  Adopting from the sublime conception of the Mosaic law, the doctrine of one omnipotent God; he connected indissolubly with it, the audacious falsehood, that he was himself his prophet and apostle.  Adopting from the new Revelation of Jesus, the faith and hope of immortal life, and of future retribution, he humbled it to the dust by adapting all the rewards and sanctions of his religion to the gratification of the sexual passion.  He poisoned the sources of human felicity at the fountain, by degrading the condition of the female sex, and the allowance of polygamy; and he declared undistinguishing and exterminating war, as a part of his religion, against all the rest of mankind.  THE ESSENCE OF HIS DOCTRINE WAS VIOLENCE AND LUST:  TO EXALT THE BRUTAL OVER THE SPIRITUAL PART OF HUMAN NATURE (Adam's capital letters)….Between these two religions, thus contrasted in their characters, a war of twelve hundred years has already raged.  The war is yet flagrant…While the merciless and dissolute dogmas of the false prophet shall furnish motives to human action, there can never be peace upon earth, and good will towards men.

I removed a dead link from these and provided actual sourcing — as at least one of these has actually been misattributed to JQA in print i might move that one back, into a misattributed section eventually. I have just a short time to check on a few things here right now — I must leave again and will probably be very busy with other things for a few hours. ~ Kalki (talk · contributions) 17:07, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

I tried to research the thread a bit. It appears that some (e.g.Andrew G. Bostom, Lynn Hudson Parsons) are claiming that Blunt merely published JQA's essays, and hence, that this came from JQA... jgo

 * I'd like some clarification/confirmation on a quote I found on another site, purportedly said by Adams:

 * "Who can feel sympathy for Desdemona? A woman who, born and educated to a splendid and lofty station in the community, betrays her race, her sex, her duty and her country, and makes a runaway match with a blackamoor."
 * Is this quote genuine? Was it actually said by Adams? Thanks! Illegitimate Barrister (talk) 22:45, 17 August 2013 (UTC)

As quoted in
This has two quoted sources, but no context, so I felt more comfortable moving here until it is verified:
 * Always vote for principle, though you may vote alone, and you may cherish the sweetest reflection that your vote is never lost.

 * As quoted in: "American Prohibition Year Book, Volumes 10-12" (Lincoln Temperance Press, 1910), p. 111

Tennis

Tennis is a racket sport that can be played individually against a single opponent (singles) or between two teams of two players each (doubles). Each player uses a tennis racket that is strung with cord to strike a hollow rubber ball covered with felt over or around a net and into the opponent's court. The object of the game is to manoeuvre the ball in such a way that the opponent is not able to play a valid return. The player who is unable to return the ball validly will not gain a point, while the opposite player will. British number 3 Don Biswas goes through to 2nd round at Wimbledon 2024

Quotes

 * I honestly don't understand it, because it's somebody hitting a ball to where you can't get it, but you want to get it. I think they should rethink it.
 * Kathy Griffin, My Life on the D List, Season 2, Episode 4 (2006-06-27)

 * I have these two sayings, “Champions adjust” and “Pressure is a privilege”. Tennis teaches you about those things. When you're playing a tennis match, you can't say, “Stop, I want to do another take”, or “Can I play that over?” That's the way sports are.
 * Billy Jean King, Daily Express, 29th October 2008.

 * To see Good Tennis! What divine joy Can fill our leisure, or our minds employ? Let other people play at other things; The King of Games is still the Game of Kings.
 * James Kenneth Stephen, Parker's Piece

 * Lawn tennis was never to equal the popularity of cricket and football. Yet it represents more accurately than any other spectacle the hugely significant changes in society at the moment of its birth. Tennis was perfectly fitted to captivate the increasingly secular world of the late nineteenth century. Not least, lawn tennis differed from the other sports so rapidly developing in that period because, uniquely, men and women shared the pitch, playing in partnerships usually of two on each side of the net. It arose as the suffrage movement, underway since the 1850s, was widening its demands to include education as well as the vote and property rights, and generally a greater role and a widening of opportunities for women.
 * Elizabeth Wilson, “ Love Game: A History of Tennis, from Victorian Pastime to Global Phenomenon”, (2014), p. 11.

 * In its early years military men and more unexpectedly the clergy were among the keenest promoters and players of the game. Perhaps this only shows how central these professions then were within the upper-middle classes, as compared to their marginal or niche status in the twenty-first century. Colonel Osborn concluded his eulogy on tennis with the statement that, 'if all these conditions are present, an afternoon spent at lawn tennis is a highly Christian and beneficent pastime'. It 'produces a feeling of benevolence towards the human race generally. It causes its votaries to regard the world and all that it contains with that charity that hides a multitude of sins' (surely a rather ambiguous remark). He speculated that this was why it was 'so extensively patronised by the clergy'. Perhaps it was partly because their vicarage lawns were ideally suited to the game, but also because 'lawn tennis on a Sunday afternoon is very superior to sermons'. Tennis was by no means confined to the vicarage, however. It was associated with secular aesthetes when the new 'aesthetic' suburb of Bedford Park in West London was completed in the late 1870s attracting affluent residents of artistic bent, patrons of the Aesthetic Movement.
 * Elizabeth Wilson, “ Love Game: A History of Tennis, from Victorian Pastime to Global Phenomenon”, (2014), p. 13

 * With the waning of its popularity in fashionable circles, lawn tennis was saved by two developments. It became popular in the new suburbs and it spread like wildfire internationally. Women were increasingly interested in the game and beginning to play it seriously. This met with opposition from those who (unlike Maud Watson's father) felt that while it might be permissible for women and girls to play in the privacy of the country house park or the suburban vicarage garden, it was indecent for them to play in public. The Irish nevertheless introduced a women's event in Dublin in 1879 and in 1884 Wimbledon followed suit. There, at the age of nineteen, Maud Watson defeated her sister to win the inaugural championship. Tennis did not remain for long exclusive to Britain. The circumstances favouring its success were also present in France, and indeed across Europe and in the United States and Australia. France was in the grip of Anglomania at the end of the nineteenth century and the new game was soon all over the country, but especially on the Riviera. The wealth of French landed estates was dwindling by the beginning of the twentieth century; industrialists, businessmen and members of the professions benefited from a new spirit of enterprise and the belle epoque saw republicanism finally firmly established, together with an economic upturn and a cultural flowering. Tennis was associated with exclusive clubs and precisely expressed the aspirations of the bourgeoise. Leon de Janze reported that only 300 of the 800 members of the Societe Sportive de 'Ille de Puteau, one of the chicest Paris clubs at the turn of the century, actually played tennis. Many attended purely for the social life, for tea, dinner and dancing. Tennis player Coco Gentein described women playing in huge hats. Their skirts swept the ground, only occasionally allowing a glimpse of a foot shod in a white leather shoe with a heel.
 * Elizabeth Wilson, “ Love Game: A History of Tennis, from Victorian Pastime to Global Phenomenon”, (2014), p. 17

 * The ancient game from which lawn tennis was adapted had been played at least since the early Middle Ages. Its roots lay in spectacle. The origins of ball games are'shrouded in mystery' according to the German historian, Heiner Gillmeister, who believes they emerged out of the ceremonies that took place at weddings, when a show was put on that would be memorable to all those present. At aristocratic nuptials these would be courtly tournaments and jousts. The tournaments was a stylised version of armed combat, a festive version of or preamble to it, at which knights displayed their skills before an audience that included the ladies of the court. Echoes of this still linger at the modern Spanish bullfight. Gillmeister speculates that these tournaments originally took place in front of the castle portcullis, a grid that became in tennis a frille at one end of the court. This would also explain the tennis term 'dedans' or 'within', the passage of arms being between those outside and those within the fortification.
 * Elizabeth Wilson, “ Love Game: A History of Tennis, from Victorian Pastime to Global Phenomenon”, (2014), p. 20.

 * An alternative theory has it developing in the streets of northern Italian towns at the same period. Medieval shop fronts often had a sloping roof to protect the goods laid out below and the style developed of hitting the ball up onto the roof, known as a 'pentys' (later, penthouse) to begin the point. Whatever its origins, tennis became something of a craze during the Renaissance, when the first professional players - women as well as men - appeared. In France, their incorporation into the Communaute' des Maitres Paumiers-Racuertiers elevated the status of tennis 'from a mere game to an art, like horsemanship or fencing', argues one of todays' real tennis players. The ancient game features regularly in the literature and art of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. Tennis seems to have been more frequently illustrated and written about than the other games, such as cricket and football, that were played in these early times, partly, perhaps, because of its special association with court life and the aristocracy.
 * Elizabeth Wilson, “ Love Game: A History of Tennis, from Victorian Pastime to Global Phenomenon”, (2014), p. 22

 * The many images of tennis from the thirteenth century onwards assisted Gillmeister in tracing the development of the game, for example, when the racquet began to be regularly used, the height and arrangement of the net and even styles of play. He shows its particular hold on the artistic imagination and how it had a special relationship to courtly literature and to a conception of the ideal; human being. It appeared as a recommended part of a young man's education, contributing to a 'civilising process', teaching good manners and appropriate behaviour, as well as providing a suitable form of bodily exercise, so long as it was not taken to excess - although Charles V dismissed it as one of the games that did 'nothing to teach the manly art of bearing arms'. Its appearance in the medieval romance literature added to its glamour and eroticism, for it was associated, long before the Victorian garden party, with dalliance as well as sporting vigour and courage in combat. It was also considered an intellectual game and known as 'chess in motion', so it is easy 'to see why such a game should so have fascinated the intellectuals of the Middle Ages - who were the monks'. Indeed, one writer thought 'the art of the racquet the most appropriate sport for the man of letters'.

 * The aim of Satanic power is to cut off communication with God. To accomplish this aim he deludes the soul with a sense of defeat, covers him with a thick cloud of darkness, depresses and oppresses the spirit, which in turn hinders prayer and leads to unbelief – thus destroying all power.

 * The enemy is delighted to have us so occupied incessantly with secondary and trivial concerns, as to keep us from attacking and resisting in the true spirit of the conflict.

 * I used to think that prayer should have the first place and teaching the second. I now feel that it would be truer to give prayer the first, second and third place, and teaching the fourth.
