editI see a lot of quotations from 2019, usually from Twitter. I've not even read them yet, to avoid being influenced by my opinions, but I don't envy whoever did that job. I would have a hard time using objective criteria or secondary sources to pick Twitter tweets. If you found the magic recipe to do it, please share! Nemo 08:01, 26 February 2020 (UTC)
- @Nemo bis: Yes, that's why we should not be using Wikiquote as an outlet to reprint someone's twitter feed. If a tweet is reprinted in a reliable secondary source, then we should cite it using that source and not primary links to social media. GMGtalk 11:29, 26 February 2020 (UTC)
- Agree with this, and I think that it should be stated more clearly in WQ:BLP in order to avoid confusion. Rupert Loup 05:43, 27 February 2020 (UTC)
- I actually believe that direct quotes of twitter feeds, though often excessively used, should be provided as "primary sourcing" of statements, but can certainly agree this should usually be in conjunction with at least one additional secondary source mention of such statements, provided in the interlinear information lines. ~ ♞☤☮♌︎Kalki·⚚⚓︎⊙☳☶⚡ 13:07, 27 February 2020 (UTC)
- Yes, me too. If the quote comes from the twitter feed of a notable individual such as Trump, I see no problem in including the quote, I think Ottawahitech (talk) 19:10, 2 November 2023 (UTC)

edit- Israel suffered a barbaric attack and is well within its rights to defend itself in keeping with international law, including the protection of civilians,” the senators wrote. “As a response, Israel is contemplating a large-scale ground invasion targeting Hamas. Reports indicate Israeli ground forces are already active in Gaza. We note recent reports that senior U.S. officials – including Secretary of Defense Austin – have conveyed to the Israeli government their serious concerns about the risks associated with this course. We share many of these concerns, not just relating to the timing and difficulty of such an operation and its likely humanitarian toll, but also regarding the difficult questions about the political reality it will leave in its wake.
