Quotes from the 2013 web article on redcliff.comEdit
After updating the source info, see here I noticed 8 of the 9 quotes recently added (see here) came from one source: a 2013 web article from redcliff.com
Now the Redcliff article has 2877 words (see also here for the full article) and these 9 quotes are 369 words, which is about 13%. Now the Wikiquote:Limits on quotations give no exact limit about this, but personally I limit the number of quotes from such a web article to three. I would propose to do the same here, and trim the number of quotes down from 8 to 3. -- Mdd (talk) 11:19, 21 May 2014 (UTC)
- I must admit I wasn't sure, and for that reason I first made the above proposal. On second though it is not as black and white, because I limit myself to a maximum of 3 quotes in the "Quotes"-section, and sometimes also added an extra quote in the "Quotes about" section. These three quotes are only a guideline, and exceptions can be made... and sometimes a more creative solution is possible, such as I implemented here. -- Mdd (talk) 12:55, 21 May 2014 (UTC)
