Star Wars Fanon:Quote of the Week

 A Quote of the Week is a quote that remains on the Star Wars Fanon Wiki Main Page for a total of seven days, starting on Sunday at 12:00am Eastern Standard Time and lasting until Saturday at 11:59pm Eastern Standard Time. The quote is one that has been chosen by voting users as a quote that represents the best on the wiki.

Good candidates for Quote of the Week should be compelling, engaging, well articulated, and tell an interesting enough story by themselves in order to encourage readers to read more from where it came from, whether it came from an article or a fan fiction story.

Nomination process:

There is a simple process that all Quote of the Week candidates go through in order to be selected as a Quote of the Week. That process is as follows:


 * 1) Any user may nominate a quote from any article or fan fiction story, but only users who meet the voting policy may vote.
 * 2) Quotes are successful after reaching five (5) net votes, which is determined after adding the support and opposition votes. Successful quotes will be placed on the list of upcoming quotes.
 * 3) Quotes are unsuccessful after receiving a net total of negative five (-5) votes, or if they fail to garner any form of consensus after one month of being on the nominations track.
 * 4) All quotes must be sourced. If the quote only appears in an article, the source is the article.
 * 5) Any quote that does not meet the content policy will be removed from the nominations track. It may be removed from the source article as well.
 * 6) Users can use any reason to oppose a nomination. This includes "I don't like the quote," "it's too unbelievable," "it's too long," or anything else. All reasons are acceptable so long as users remain civil.

How to nominate:

When you nominate an article, please use the following nomination form in order to maintain a sense of organization on the nominations track:


 * === Speaker’s name ===
 * ==== Quote (+/-#) ====
 * ==== Support ====
 * ==== Neutral ====
 * ==== Oppose ====
 * ==== Comments ====

Nominations will remain on the nominations track until they become successful, the author removes the nomination, it reaches a consensus of opposition, or it fails to gain the necessary votes to be either successful or unsuccessful after one month. If it is successful, the quote will be added to the list of upcoming quotes.

 * 1) Not a very good quote. But since I think the guy is trying to trash Jedi; I'll not vote against it.  Ty294  {Talk}  21:59, February 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * 2) I'm not sure. It's like it's a take on "Guns don't kill people[...]" only a bit convoluted.  Trak Nar  Ramble on 05:13, February 25, 2010 (UTC)

How exactly can a member of a species that doesn't wear clothes be a stripper? -98.214.135.86 03:13, March 4, 2010 (UTC)


 * The quote doesn't say the Hutt was taking its clothes off. It just said that the Hutt is an exotic dancer on a stripper pole. - Brandon Rhea Alliance Starbird.svg (talk) 03:21, March 4, 2010 (UTC)

Before anyone else votes on this quote, let me put something forward: The QotW is one of the first things a person sees when they enter the site. Do you want potential new users greeted with a quote like this? It may not be explicit, but it still may not project a very nice picture of the Star Wars: Fanon as a whole. Ty294 {Talk}  13:47, March 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * If it's not "explicit", then what's the problem? This quote wasn't written to scare new users away. It was written to show the irony of a Hutt (who I think everyone agrees is just about the most ugly species in the galaxy) being a dancer, as the world this takes place on is very ironic and unusual and different from others. Don't make this a bigger deal than it is. --Wylindsig.png (Conference Room)  00:16, March 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * I have to agree with Wylind, its not offensive and I find it to be funny. I think this quote could actually be a great idea for the front page, it can cause the reader to laugh and then check out more of the site.- Bluethunder Contact 00:26, March 16, 2010 (UTC)
