I have to say something about this, I've noticed people have been adding quotes to the tops of the weapon articles (and possibly others, if so I haven't noticed). This is a great idea, but I'd like to ask we use this element in moderation and only add a quote to an article when it has an obvious relevance to it. The quote in the RPG (HL2) article, for example:

"This steerable Rocket Launcher is our best bet for taking down a Gunship" - Odessa Cubbage

...or the one in Grenade (HL2):

"Gordon, lob a couple grenades, that'll clear'm out!" - Barney Calhoun

They're both clearly relevant, but these quotes, in the SMG (HL2) and Crossbow (HL2) articles, respectively, really aren't relevant at all:

"Ha! Like that?" - Resistance Soldier

"Aaarrggggghhhh!" - Combine Soldier, upon death

Obviously, those quotes have nothing to do with the weapons, they're just generic taunts and sound effects. Anyway I'm going into far too much detail, I've made my point, go easy on the quotes, eh? :)

P.S. What does everyone thing of making a 'memorable quotes' page for each game, something akin to Wikiquote? It's certainly relevant, and I love quotes. --MattyDienhoff 04:39, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
