Article length
editHi Xeginy. I noticed that some of the web comics articles have become quite large. I think some may be too long to be good quality, readable articles. By that I mean:
- Consider that you are writing for the general public, not just fellow aficionados.
- If an article is so long that it takes more time to hunt down the good bits than to appreciate them once they are found, then Wikiquote has failed in its mission of finding and showcasing them.
I appreciate all the work you have put into these articles. Please see if you can improve them further by trimming them down a bit. Thanks. ~ Ningauble 15:37, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
- You might also find the links Wikiquote:Quotability, Wikiquote:Limits on quotations, and Wikiquote:Copyright useful! Thanks for your contributions!
- Wow, very nice cleanup of Questionable Content, looks good, clear and concise! I don't think I could've even brought myself to do such a heavy-handed but through cleanup. Appreciated. Peace and Passion ("I'm listening....") 03:07, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
- PS Ditto to all the other ones I see in the recent changes log. A lot of work! Peace and Passion ("I'm listening....") 03:10, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks Xeginy! Give yourself bonus XP for turning these articles around. ~ Ningauble 14:58, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks everybody who suggested the changes. They were very good suggestions, and I'll admit, I might have gotten a little (ahem) over-enthusiastic about the quotes, but it all does look a lot better now. I will also definitely keep in mind your suggestions for any future pages I might create or edit. Thanks! ~ Xeginy 13:59, 6 August 2009 (PST)
