 * How can you love it? That quote is so boring! I think that we should have one that is actually interesting, funny, unknown, whatever... Not this, however!

Card design suggestions

We could have something really long that runs right off the card. For example:

 * The card must be printable, though. Bob the Wikipedian (talk • contribs) 21:14, 15 December 2010 (UTC)


 * I like the idea; we can just cut off whatever runs over, preferably cutting off half of a word. We need to make sure that the link is legible, however.  Hi 8 7 8   (Come shout at me!) 19:26, 19 December 2010 (UTC)


 * Sounds feasible. Bob the Wikipedian (talk • contribs) 19:58, 19 December 2010 (UTC)


 * I totally just realized you created a template specifically to demonstrate that...I'd be curious to see how else you intend on using that template... Bob the Wikipedian (talk • contribs) 06:17, 31 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Maybe, we could make it all just a long name, with titles, like so: "His highness King Rodriguez Alfonzo Jalapeno Terre Peeetre le Gorgo CXXXVIII, the troll who always signs his posts, even in article namespace, causing server overload at the most inconvenient times, Lord of Hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliaphobiaville, Baron Lopado­temacho­selacho­galeo­kranio­leipsano­drim­hypo­trimmato­silphio­parao­melito­katakechy­meno­kichl­epi­kossypho­phatto­perister­alektryon­opte­kephallio­kigklo­peleio­lagoio­siraio­baphe­tragano­pterygonia,Supreme Tyrant of the West Watchmendarkknightreturnskillingjokesandmanroadtoperditionsupermanendoftimecivilwarclonesagasnowbirdsdontflyallstarbatmanandrobintheboywondercrisisoninfiniteearthsinfinitecrisisidentitycrisisourworldsatwarsflashpointfinalcrisissoylentgreenwaspeoplesnapekillsdumbledorewinstonsmithdiesattheendsin City just signed a post.

 * Or just a bunch of middle names. Do you remember that '97 Cinderella movie? It had a song called "The Prince is Giving a Ball" and the announcer guy was reading from official documents, which listed the prince's full name, "His royal highness Christopher Rupert Vwindemier Vlandamier Carl Alexander Francois Reginald Lancelot Herman Gregory James, son of her majesty Queen Constantina Charlotte Hermantrude Guenivere Mazie Margareet Ann, son of his majesty King Maximillian Godfee Ladeslous Leapolt Sydney Frederick John". —Airhogs777 (complaints • evidence • alibi) @WikiShrek 06:50, 21 December 2011 (UTC)

I was just thinking of how to illustrate some of these and i saw this... I was all for this when i realized that the illustration may be...questionable any ideas...


 * Umm, isn't being a virgin sort of the opposite of pornography? There are two pictures on the article Virginity which should do quite well. Antony–22 (talk⁄contribs) 22:33, 8 January 2011 (UTC)


 * Yeah, in Sunday school you learn about Virgin Mary before you learn what "virgin" actually means. It does, I admit, have to do with "...questionable" things, but this one will be easy enough to do with out "questions." —Preceding signed comment added by Nicky Nouse (talk • contribs • wikia) 04:22, 13 January 2011 (UTC)

 * Oh, right. Quote. Sorry, should have proposed this later.-- Canvas  Hat  16:25, 15 December 2011 (UTC)


 * Ignoring the fact that this step is for finding quotes, I tink you're an amazing artist but crayons/markers might make it seem like we put more than 10 seconds of work into the card while still maintaining the randomness we're trying to get across. Something about MS paint drawings just irks me for some reason. —Airhogs777 (complaints • evidence • alibi) @WikiShrek 06:55, 21 December 2011 (UTC)


 * Oh, we need a quote too, don't we. Well, since we have no real guideline for a quote besides, ya know, being WP-related, I found a randomish WP-related quote (on WikiQuote) that made me smirk: "Individuals who have tried to edit the pages about Barack Obama — to reflect the incontrovertible fact that he is not God, Abraham Lincoln, Franklin Roosevelt, or Ronald Reagan — report that their contributions have vanished within minutes of posting them." - L. Neil Smith, "Announcifications From Your Publicatorialist: Wikipedia, Missouri, and Ceres", 15 March 2009   —Airhogs777 (complaints • evidence • alibi) @WikiShrek 07:03, 21 December 2011 (UTC)


 * I hope you aren't seriously thinking we could use that quote... As for the picture, it bugs me as well. I think we can come up with something better.  Hi 8 7 8   (Come shout at me!) 19:55, 21 December 2011 (UTC)


 * What, you don't appreciate the weeks of tireless nights it took me to find a Wikipedia-related quote? —Airhogs777 (complaints • evidence • alibi) @WikiShrek 08:57, 22 December 2011 (UTC)


 * Nope. Not at all.  Hi 8 7 8   (Come shout at me!) 19:00, 22 December 2011 (UTC)


 * Would it be better with more red? Or, alternatively, I could draw a picture of some unicorns with gummy bears on their back, or something to that effect. Or we could use the following image. Psilocybe semilanceata 6514.jpg--[[User:Canvashat| Canvas ]] Hat  04:52, 30 December 2011 (UTC)
 * A good picture of unicorns, or probably a composite of images from Commons.-- Canvas  Hat  04:56, 30 December 2011 (UTC)


 * As for a quote, what about | The cheeses has eaten my friend from WP:DAFT -- Canvas  Hat  05:05, 30 December 2011 (UTC)


 * Probably not the best picture idea. :) As for the quote, it doesn't really say much of anything...  Hi 8 7 8   (Come shout at me!) 18:23, 31 December 2011 (UTC)

Well the quote not saying anything is exactly what we're going for, is it not? As for the pic, I still think it would be perfect if we redid your original scribble in crayon. —Airhogs777 (complaints • evidence • alibi) @WikiShrek 06:55, 3 January 2012 (UTC)


 * I think we should want the card to make a bit more sense; the quote seems too moronic, and the picture seems too unprofessional.  Hi 8 7 8   (Come shout at me!) 04:52, 4 January 2012 (UTC)


 * If you really want a quote related to the card, how about "Content that, while apparently intended to mean something, is so confused that no reasonable person can be expected to make any sense of it. See schizophasia. If the meaning cannot be identified, it would be impossible to accurately copy-edit the text." by 86.142.67.57 (revision 388566230 of WP:Patent nonsense)? —Airhogs777 (complaints • evidence • alibi) @WikiShrek 00:08, 8 January 2012 (UTC)


 * I like that, but it seems a bit long...  Hi 8 7 8   (Come shout at me!) 00:05, 10 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Personally, I think just the first sentence is good enough if we need to shorten it. —Airhogs777 (complaints • evidence • alibi) @WikiShrek 22:53, 10 January 2012 (UTC)


 * I agree. Unless we can find something funny, this quote works well.  Hi 8 7 8   (Come shout at me!) 03:09, 11 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Just stopping by...hi everyone! Y'all live! I agree...some nicer illustration is in order here for sure. I bet...there's something in the Commons that is patented nonsense...how about this? Of course, we'd need to crop the litter out of it. Bob the WikipediaN  (talk • contribs) 02:59, 12 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Barely alive... All that has happened for quite a while are comments in this section. :) I like that picture, and agree that cropping would be necessary.  Hi 8 7 8   (Come shout at me!) 03:24, 12 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Cropped. Bob the WikipediaN (talk • contribs) 22:37, 12 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Perfect!  Hi 8 7 8   (Come shout at me!) 23:25, 12 January 2012 (UTC)

Quote Suggestions

"Unless they are particularly relevant to the topic of the article, avoid linking plain English words." from WP:OVERLINK can be partially attributed to Ckatz. I suppose it gets the point across. —Preceding signed comment added by Airhogs777 (talk • contribs • wikia) 05:01, 28 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Mind linking to that revision? The page history is somewhat ugly, and I'm having a hard time telling which part of that quote Ckatz actually provided. Bob the WikipediaN (talk • contribs) 00:24, 29 May 2011 (UTC)


 * Here ya go. Like I said, partial attribution (the first half), although the edit summary implies that it might have been copied from another part of the article... WAAAAH!!!!! *floods internet in tears* —Preceding signed comment added by Airhogs777 (talk • contribs • wikia) 05:44, 29 May 2011 (UTC)


 * Well, I guess it's [his] fault the sentence was ever created... —Preceding signed comment added by Airhogs777 (talk • contribs • wikia) 05:45, 29 May 2011 (UTC)


 * Works for me. Hopefully their tempers I'm seeing expressed in the edit history won't flame up if they see who got credited. Bob the WikipediaN (talk • contribs) 20:33, 29 May 2011 (UTC)


 * The quote looks fine to me. By the way, the CJ issue isn't actually an issue; you don't get them for removing vandalism. However, I don't like that we are calling this an article at all; the page linked to is a WP-space page. Last time I checked, those aren't articles, good or bad.
