Revert[edit]

@Aabull2016 Why exactly did you revert my edit to the page? It is standard now to use quotation templates whenever they exist. Nervelita (talk) 05:20, 12 December 2022 (UTC)Reply

I see you have a habit of doing this. To explain my reasons for using templates: it simplifies the editing space and adds more useful information. It balances these things greatly. Nervelita (talk) 05:33, 12 December 2022 (UTC)Reply

These templates greatly complicate the presentation of the citations with information that is not relevant or necessary in the context of the entry. I don't believe their use has ever been mandated by any adopted policy. As there can never be a template for every possible source, they actually make the presentation of citations less standardized. I'd like to suggest that it would be much more useful to add illustrative, carefully selected citations where none already exist than to spend time editing perfectly well-presented existing ones.

I see. Well, while I disagree with some of what you said, I suppose it is more worthwhile to add quotations regardless and not edit them. Thank you for answering me. Nervelita (talk) 09:12, 12 December 2022 (UTC)Reply
Thank you for your considered response, it's truly appreciated. Ultimately we contributors all care about the quality of what the project provides to users, even though we don't always see eye to eye on some details. (Aabull2016 (talk) 17:42, 12 December 2022 (UTC))Reply
