The page quote for WesternAnimation.Gravity Falls was changed without discussion. While the new quote is nice, it's also the last line of the series and (in my view) since there's a finality to the wording it doesn't work as a quote to open the page with. The original instead opens up more questions and fits in with the mystery-focused nature of the show

Current:

"If you've ever taken a road trip through the Pacific Northwest, you've probably seen a bumper sticker for a place called Gravity Falls. It's not on any maps, and most people have never heard of it. Some people think it's a myth. But if you're curious, don't wait. Take a trip. Find it. It's out there somewhere in the woods, waiting..."
Dipper

Original:

"Unfortunately, my suspicions have been confirmed. I'm being watched. I must hide this book before He finds it.

Remember, in Gravity Falls, there is no one you can trust."

This is the page quote for Almost Kiss.

Leela: A black hole!
Fry: Talk about a mood killer.

Nothing in the quote indicates that the two almost kiss. The closest is the "mood killer" line, which sounds more like a Moment Killer.

[up] Agree. What about this one from the Quotes page:

"Looks like they're determined to interrupt. Guess that kiss is gonna have to wait."

The quote of Can't Hold His Liquor seems really weak because it's not obvious Sheldon is actually drunk after taking that sip, and it just seems like he's having some Liquid Courage. How about this for change?

Luna Loud: (referring to Lynn Loud Sr.) "Two drinks and he's out."
Luan Loud: "Two drinks? You're giving him way too much credit. I once saw him get wasted off a slice of rum cake."

[up] That's very good, I think. Even just the second line of dialogue works, but both work too.

A quote was recently added to Negated Moment of Awesome with no source given, a lot of potholes, and it doesn't even to suggest what the moment that would have been awesome was. Pull?

Is Everything Is an Instrument an example? The trope is about non-instruments being used to produce music, but the scene is an aversion, as no mayonnaise (or horseradish) music-making occurs; it's just Patrick being The Ditz.

Agreed, it seems like it's taking the trope name at face value just to reference a meme.

FusionFall has a fairly long quote, with potholes to shows. Should it be trimmed, replaced, or cut?

All in all, you have to admit, this world is a pretty amazing place. I mean what's not to love?
Mutant toddlers, imaginary friends, giant robots, child geniuses, E.V.Os, cryptids... that guy. Not to mention your occasional alien hero.
Sure we have our fair share of danger, the occasional evil mastermind or tyrannical monkey set on ruling the world...
Still, none of us were prepared when Planet Fuse arrived, ready to consume our world.
His creatures rained down taking familiar forms and transforming the earth itself.
But we learned that we could harness their essence to create our greatest weapon against the invaders... NANOS!
There's no question. Saving the Earth is gonna take all of us... together.

I think just the last line would suffice if we really want to keep it short.

For Sandbox.Monster Alex Rider, which will be Monster.Alex Rider when it's ready I brought up some potential quotes and these 2 got some positive feedback, personally I prefer the second one but they both work

Darius Sayle: Revenge can be good, because in a few hours, at the science museum, my old friend the Prime Minister, he's gonna press a button and you know what's gonna happen? That button's gonna connect all the Stormbreakers on my wireless network. And at the same moment, it's gonna release a virus straight into the classes packed with British schoolchildren.
Alex Rider: You're going to kill thousands of innocent people.
Darius Sayle: Oh, no. Of course not. I'm gonna kill millions.

"I have made it my life's work to study pain in all its different forms, and the pain that I intend to inflict on you will be perhaps even worse. There are two instruments that I am going to use. Earlier today, I promised you hell. And now, my dear child, it is here."
