In wikipedia I suggest we generally list literary quotations at the page of the specific author, rather than having long lists with quotations on wisdom, women, computers, etc. See the discussion at Literary quotations/Talk.

At the moment we have cases like the proverb pages and Ich bin ein Berliner that are contrary to this rule.


Nice suggestion. One small problem mitigates against this from my point of view, (and Larry will probably see this as an overwhelming argument against the use of sub-pages :-) ), and that is where the subject is already a sub-page e.g. if we wanted to add the Winston Churchill quote about 'Never have so many' etc, to the Battle of Britain page as a /Quotation? page we would be seriously stuffed since the Battle of Britain is already a sub-page of World War II. In seriousness, though, it really does reinforce Larry's argument against the widespread use of sub-pages, or certainly does until the point comes with wiki where we can nest sub-pages more or less ad infinitum, at which point we will probably want to fully review the whole taxonomy of wikipedia in any case. sjc
