[edit] Inclusion of quotes
Quotes without any sense of context are not appropriate for encyclopedia articles. Context is needed. Is there a reason why this quote is used instead of other passages in the book? What is this quote illustrating in the book? Has this quote been notorious amongst reviewers and/or critics. "Random" (i.e. unexplained non-contextualised) quotes are arbritary and toe a fine line of WP:NPOV. Especially on a page this size, where the quote actually exceeds the size of the article. It is undue weight.--ZayZayEM 11:36, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
- I did not pick it. Picking a representative quote out of books seems to be in style. I assure you that it represents the book well. Why don't you read it yourself and see what you think? Arrow740 18:09, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

- "I assure you that it represents the book well.". Your assuration is Original research. This needs to be backed up by a credible third party source. Please give an example where a small stub-class article gives so much weight to a large quote.--ZayZayEM 03:12, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
