[edit] Mr. X Quotes

Useless collection of unidentified and nonsensical quotes. Anon editors have continually deleted tags added to the article calling for significant improvements, but really have no case on which to claim this page is needed. Harro5 10:26, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

• Delete : The page claims "This page helps understand how the mind behaves in stressful situations", the very personification of the nonsensical. Manik Raina 10:32, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete as unverifiable. — JIP | Talk 10:39, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, speedily if possible, for having no context (though it's not "very short"), being borderline patent nonsense, and serving only to disparage its subject. --Angr/_{tɔk tə mi} 11:19, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
• Press your BJAODN button with confidence. Non-notable, but I laughed. --Last Malthusian 11:45, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

"THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE QUOTES

The quotes allow a general viewer to receive a better insight into the mind of not just one man, but humans in general. The quotes give a clear indication of how the mind works in certain stressful situations, and the thought processes that appear in many people's mind that link thoughts and ideas into a single sentence. The quotes also, therefore introduce the power of the spoken word, showing how a single message can be used to convey a thought or idea much better than a single action. The quotes also allow people to view the expressions that build in a human's vocabulary as (s)he increases in age, and the frequency (s)he uses said sayings to those that have never heard them before, and in turn passes these sayings to those people which they have relayed the comment to. These people, in turn, may adopt one or more of these sayings and use them in another situation in which the comment makes sense, and so the circle continues.

This article is clearly one that gives an insight into the human mind, and I think it is of clear importance to the community. It contains mannerisms of a personality, and can be used how the user wishes to. If a user has no imagination, then the quotes seem little more than a watse of time where no information is contained. Others, however, will feel that this does have some significance to their lves and the information that they receive in them. They need to be able to understand that while the quotes give no information in a sense, in another sense the quotes are very useful, and informative, because they give us all a look at the mind of a human and their speech patterns. As well as this, the quotes give an indication of wisdom, and enlightenment, and in this sense they give information. They are significant, as without them many would not be able to view key human speech pattern information and it's relevance in today's stressful society."

This is what is said in the article. I put it there just in case people do not bother to read the pages they vote to delete, as I know is often the case. I have used Wikipedia for years. I am a memeber, as you can see, but not for any length of time. These quotes are what they say they are, however, if you feel that the information that they provide is not apparant to the average Wikipedia surfer, then obviously that is fine. I would say that I would vote to keep the quotes, as I do believe they are worthy of Wikipedia. May I point out that the quotes have been on Wikipedia three weeks. Has anyone been hurt in that time, by those quotes? Maybe they have.
