JW: Added guidelines, struck out quotes copied to main page.

Added guidelines, struck out quotes copied to main page.

← Older revision		Revision as of 13:36, 14 March 2008
Line 1:		Line 1:
			==General page guidelines==
			* No more than three quotes per euph.
			* For a given euph, no more than two quotes from the same character.
			* Quotes from a variety of different sources are better. (E.g., one each from the G1 cartoon, one from Beast Wars, and one from IDW, is better than three from G1.)
			* List quotes in real-world chronological order.
			* When a quote appearing on this talk page has been copied to the article itself, mark it by striking it out.
			* Be consistent in formatting.
			* If breaking one of the above rules significantly improves the article, go ahead. (E.g., we have four Diode quotes because they're all too amusing to leave out.)
			* Debate on these guidelines is welcome.
