	I have notice several quotes that are too long like 3/15 or yesterday's. I feel that quotes should be short, pithy, without necessary explanations (like 3/8), and no more that 4 or 5 lines.

			:I don't really mind, as long as it's a good quote. There is some good stuff that's longer. 3/15 though can easily be shortened to just Baltar's little speech, since that's what it's about. -- [[User:Serenity\|Serenity]] 20:02, 8 March 2008 (CST)

	The system doesn't distinguish between 2006 and 2007, so 2007 uses the same quotes as last year. That means there are hardly any free places for new additions. Should people just overwrite old quotes to add ones from brand new episodes?		The system doesn't distinguish between 2006 and 2007, so 2007 uses the same quotes as last year.
