Wikiquote:Proposals for very good pages

Very good pages are the highest status of pages at Simple English Wikiquote. In order to become a very good page, there are certain criteria that the page must meet. These criteria can be found at Wikiquote:Requirements for very good pages.

This page is to discuss pages to decide whether they meet the VGP criteria. When an page is posted here for discussion, it should have the {{pvgood}} tag placed on it. This will place the page in Category:Proposed very good pages.

Pages which are accepted by the community as very good pages have their {{pvgood}} tag replaced with {{vgood}}. They are also listed on Wikiquote:Very good pages and are placed in Category:Very good pages.

  Fixed Pmlineditor^Talk 07:40, 21 September 2009 (UTC)

  That's better, but the citations still need to be correctly formatted –Juliancolton | ^Talk 21:14, 29 September 2009 (UTC)

  Think that's done too, unless you've other issues? Pmlineditor^Talk 15:25, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

  I'm concerned that QuotesDaddy isn't a reliable source either. Ideally, articles should be sourced only to books/newspapers/other reliable sources rather than self-published quote websites. –Juliancolton | ^Talk 15:46, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

  I got a book source. Pmlineditor^Talk 08:07, 1 October 2009 (UTC)
