 * That quote was in the reference. You seem to have a credibility problem. Jim1138 (talk) 08:07, 5 October 2016 (UTC)

Although the quote was in the reference, there was no reference for that quote (the citation just had an alleged date). In other words, if the reference was a wikipedia page, the quote would have to be removed. If you can find a legitimate reference that fits the wikipedia guidelines then we can add this quote back in, but I don't believe it exists. Here are the guidelines for quotations: "To ensure accuracy, the text of quoted material is best taken from (and cited to) the original source being quoted. If this is not possible, then the text may be taken from a reliable secondary source (ideally one that includes a citation to the original)." I don't believe the current reference fits this criteria, as it doesn't include a citation.

I don't want to get into an editing war, so I'll wait for your response, but I believe my reasons for deleting the quote are legitimate and in line with the Wikipedia guidelines. AskAMoonie (talk) 11:53, 5 October 2016 (UTC) AskAMoonie
