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.
 * 7) All votes will be either support or oppose; the Comments section should be used to state non-voting opinions.

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 ====
 * ==== 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.

"You must learn what it is like to have someone else get the drop on you, so that you will be able to understand how humiliating it is to get shot. And Tuffass is not talking about those stupid dreams you have of waking up in primary school and realizing that you forgot to wear your clothes. No, Tuffass talks about true humiliation, the kind that makes you want to die on the battlefield right there and then! Because that is precisely what you will do if you are ever surprised in a real-life combat situation, when the other pukes have real weapons and that killer instinct!"

- Gunnery Sergeant Tuffass to his platoon, prior to Advance Combat and Tactical Training.

 * 4) There's an upcoming quote on the main page that uses the word "ass." December 26, 2010 used the word "bastard." Let's not be self-righteous. - Brandon Rhea (talk)  08:12, October 15, 2011 (UTC)
 * 5) *It's used in a manner that can be associated with anal sex. Do you think someone could get away with "suck my dick"?-- Josh Bender щ(ﾟДﾟщ) 08:19, October 15, 2011 (UTC)
 * 6) **All it means is "go f*** yourself." If that's your concern then that's fine, but if it's just profanity then just remember that, per the history of this page, you voted for the upcoming one that says "ass." Additionally, @Wylind, you voted for the December 26th quote that says "bastard." - Brandon Rhea (talk)  08:25, October 15, 2011 (UTC)

Oppose

 * 1) Strong oppose. Profanity on the main page? I don't think so. -- Wylind (talk)(narratives) 06:19, October 15, 2011 (UTC)
 * 2) *IIRC, "ass" has been on the Main Page plenty of times before&mdash;and it's been a stretch to call it profanity for years now. Hell, the speaker's name contains "ass" and has been up before! 07:09, October 15, 2011 (UTC)
