Portal talk:Journalism/Selected quote

message: We now have only 11 quotes with accompanying free-use images relating to the author, and 13 quotes with no image provided.  It is preferable, though not required, that new quotes have accompanying free-use images of the author, so that at least over 50% of the time that the portal is refreshed, the quote section will have a free-use image displayed.  Cirt (talk) 04:14, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Images preferable 

message: Is this a portal about "freedom of speech" or about "journalism"? If the quotes where about "freedom of press" I would understand, but as it stands now, there are way too many quotes here that are not specific to the subject of this portal. ≈ jossi ≈ (talk) 15:34, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  Portal religion has 24 quotes mainly from sacred books of religions which have articles in WP. In the case of this portal, as I said, a quote or two about freedom of speech, may be OK.  I am only saying that there are too many, when there are many other quotes directly related to Journalism, Journalists, newspapers, etc. ≈ jossi ≈ (talk) 15:41, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  The quotes in the Religion portal are not all about "Religion" itself as a topic, but as you say, about subtopics and belief systems within that main topic.  I see no problem with that.  Cirt (talk) 15:44, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

text: It's a very famous quote, and it speaks to agreeing or disagreeing with what someone else has said (or written), and yet defending their right to do so.  Cirt (talk) 16:19, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: At any rate, I replaced that one.  You do not have to use more than one "?" question symbol after a sentence for others to know that it is a question.  Cirt (talk) 16:23, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

text: Before the deletion (one of my personal favorites as it turns out, and fitting for this portal, IMHO), -- Which one were you referring to?  Cirt (talk) 16:37, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

text: Redux to five on free speech, would be OK. I do not mind which... I leave that to Cirt as he added most of these. ≈ jossi ≈ (talk)  —Preceding comment was added at 16:39, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  Not apparently. I really do not think this specific quote is related to the subject. ≈ jossi ≈ (talk) 16:54, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  Myself, and , both disagree with you.  Cirt (talk) 16:57, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  I can see that... as I said, up to you to redux to five, and to chose which ones to keep. ≈ jossi ≈ (talk) 16:59, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Question 

message: There are enough notable individuals with both Wikipedia articles and free-use images out there that we do not need to have any individuals quoted more than once.  Cirt (talk) 05:12, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: No harm done if there is one or two dups. ≈ jossi ≈ (talk) 05:13, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  I disagree.  It opens the door to way too many duplicates from other individuals.  Better to have variety from a mix of people.  Cirt (talk) 05:18, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  Yes, we disagree. ≈ jossi ≈ (talk) 05:33, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  How many quotes from each individual?  Which individuals get duplicate quotes?  How many is too many?  These are all questions that would come up and cause problems.  Best to make it easier and less controversial, and just have one quote per individual in the list.  Cirt (talk) 05:42, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  No need for duplicates  

message: *I have replaced all quotes that I have added with other quotes with accompanying free-use images. Quotes that do not have accompanying free-use images should be deleted, or replaced with others that do.  Cirt (talk) 07:27, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Quotes without accompanying free-use images should be deleted.
