I posted some quotes to be corrected and deleted. It's the second time I've done it for these particular quotes, but they've been ignored. It was submissions 190728-235213-276000 and 190725-134726-726000.

Please help me.

Screenshots of the Contributions would be nice. See this post for an example as to what a good informative posting looks like.

I just made a contribution for a quote and it was accepted in 7 minutes!

Probably not related to the issue here, but I have to wonder: is that a memorable quote or is it half the script? And looking at the rest of the quotes page I feel like I've read the whole script for the movie!

Maybe I'm wrong, but I thought quotes were supposed to be kept very short, ideally a single line or a couple of lines at most. Has the policy changed since I last checked it?

In all my time here, it's never been restricted. Only place I've seen anything resembling that is on TV.com.

When I made that ST Voyager contribution, there was a Quote exchange that was about four times longer than this example here!!!

Yes, I realise that many other long quotes have also been accepted and this is far from the 'worst' example - I didn't intend to pick on this one specifically, just that this thread reminded me of the issue.

It turns out that the guide is far more vague on the subject than I remember - I thought it explicitly said "keep it short" but actually it just implies that with short examples. But still I wonder how these very long sections of dialogue qualify as memorable quotes. Does anyone other than superfans actually repeat these quotes in conversation?

Hi Phil G -

As mentioned in our guide, our preference is that Quotes be brief exchanges between characters, though we are flexible and currently don't have a limitation.
