The Wikipedian Notebook

The Wikipedian Notebook aims to provide a collection of quotes and quotations that fellow Wikipedians enjoy . Consider yourself the commentator for the day, and construct the ultimate notebook, or just tell us what your favourite quotes are.

This page has been blatantly plagiarised from Phaedriel's beautiful Soundtrack of Wikipedians page, many thanks for the great idea. Please add your favourite lines here and share your emotions by them. —$ΡЯΙNGεrαgђ (-¢|ε|Ŀ|T|-)

Just a few suggested guidelines:

  • Please limit your list to no more than 25-30 entries! You may of course post as many as you want, but other people will be unlikely to go through a list of a hundred lines.
  • List your favorite lines from movies, books, etc., and just that, please! There's no use in commenting others' selections or your own here. It's great if you wish to do so, but please, do it at the talk page instead.
  • You may or not want to post an image, either your pic or whatever you want to present yourself - that's entirely up to you—no fair use images please!
  • Please add yourself following alphabetical order. (No, the joke will not be on top!) ;) The easiest way to add your entry is to copy and paste an existing one, and then replacing the proper information with your own. Don't be afraid to mess up! This is just for fun - if you malformed your entry, somebody else will fix it later for you, don't worry.
  • If you have any doubts and/or suggestions, please contact me at my talk page. Have fun! :)
