Star Wars Fanon:Quote of the Week

The Quote of the Week is a quote that remains on the Star Wars Fanon main page for a total of seven days, from Sunday at 12:00am Eastern Standard Time to Saturday at 11:59pm Eastern Standard Time, that has been chosen by the membership as a quote that represents the best that Star Wars Fanon has to offer. A good candidate should be compelling, engaging, well articulated and tell an interesting story by itself to encourage users to read more from where it came, whether that is an article or a fan fiction story.

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


 * 1) All users may nominate a quote from any article, although only users who meet the requirements of the Voting Policy may vote.
 * 2) Voting will carry on every week and successful nominations will be placed onto the list of upcoming quotes.
 * 3) Winning quotes will be determined by the community. Once a quote reaches five (5) net votes, which is determined after adding the support and opposition votes, it will be added into the queue.
 * 4) Quotes may not contain profanity that exceeds a PG-13 rating.
 * 5) Users may use any reason they desire to oppose a nomination, such as “I don’t like the quote” or “it’s too unbelievable” or “the quote is too long”. All reasons are acceptable so long as civility is kept in check.

When nominating an article, there is a simple form that should be used in order to maintain a sense of order on the nominations track. It is as follows:


 * ===Speaker’s Name===
 * ====Quote====
 * ====Support====
 * ====Oppose====
 * ====Neutral/comments====

Nominations will remain on the nominating track until they become successful, until the author pulls the nomination or until it reaches a consensus of opposition. If it is successful, aside from being added to the list of upcoming quotes it will also be added to the list of successful quotes.

"I am the Empire."

- Cos Decarte Palpatine

Support

 * 1) A good line from my redone version of Palpatine, IMO.   Wing   msg 14:37, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
 * 2) I actually like it. --Victor (talk) 04:57, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
 * 3) As do I. Drewton  [[Image:Era-old.png|20px]] ( Drewton's Holocron ) 02:54, 20 July 2008 (UTC)
 * 4) Short... but, good there we go, short and sweet. (It's the best quote I've seen... mine is a little long though) Jonn1234 01:49, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
 * 5) It's decent enough. - Brandon Rhea (talk) (contribs) 01:51, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
 * 6) Powerful, meaningful, sets Palpatine's attitude right there.-- Nightmare975 05:35, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

Oppose

 * 1) "I am the opposer". [[Image:AndeLeg.jpg|20px]] Arav (talk ) 22:21, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
 * 2) No. I don't think that it is a very good quote. -- Knowledge the Article Writer talk 00:25, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
 * 3) It's not in any way original. King Louis the fourteenth of France said: "L'État, c'est moi" - French for "I am the state". Then Star Wars made a reference to that; and now this! It has gone too far. - [[Image:Jawachieficon.png]]JawaChiefIonization blast JawaTV My Droid Sales 13:49, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
 * 4) Originality breeds success. --  JM  76  Ask   Archives  [[Image:Sabersmilyjm76.jpg|20px]] 01:56, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

Neutral/comments

 * The main reason I made it, was because I loved Palpatine's line how he said "I am the Senate", basically saying how he controlled everything. Since I have redone Palpatine, I had him say the Empire, because he controlled the Empire with an iron fist unopposed until the rebels came.  Wing   msg 22:16, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

 * 3) No context = no tension. - Brandon Rhea (talk) (contribs) 15:04, 27 September 2008 (UTC)
 * 4) *Heh, I just realized that this quote makes no sense how it is... Drewton  [[Image:Era-old.png|20px]] ( Drewton's Holocron ) 15:17, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

 * 1) It's an OK quote, still thinking of it. I would personally prefer one of the dialogue templates though. --Victor [[Image:Vic sig logo.png|15px]] talk 04:39, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

Neutral/comments

 * 1) I'm submitting it because I like it, but I don't have the arrogance to count myself as a vote for my own quote. Sakaros 20:43 EST, 8/15/2008
 * 2) Not a bad quote, but it doesn't really mean much without context since I don't know who these people are. Although this is unrelated to the vote, it's not a very nice idea to indirectly call people who vote on their own stuff arrogant. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) <font color="#1A2BBB">(contribs) 00:48, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
 * 3) If it makes you feel better, having reread the Voting Policy, I also apparently can't vote (167 out of 250 edits, if my count is correct). Sakaros 20:57 EST, 8/15/2008

"I made you a promise Kael. I promised you that once I found a new home I would never let anything happen to it. That's a promise I intend to keep. I was at Gyndine. I was at Duro and Coruscant. I'm tired of running. I'm drawing a line in the sand right here. Maybe we can't win this war. Maybe this galaxy can't be saved. But if we are going to turn the tide, it's going to happen right here. The Yuuzhan Vong's win streak ends today."

I kinda like it. The only thing bad is that he says I to start the first five sentances.Mattkenn3 (Talk) 16:25, 28 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I think you can start it at:"I was at Gyndine." to shorten it. It's too long right now.-- Lord Bender Nightmare975  17:25, 28 September 2008 (UTC)
