 * I'm new to Wikiquote. I'm not sure exactly how the policies and guidelines differ from Wikipedia, but I thought I'd include a page about this controversial figure given his unorthodox views on race. A couple of questions - are there any guidelines on which quotes should be included? Does Wikiquote have a similar concept to notability with Wikipedia? Do quotes have to be listed in order that the person said them in? Thanks... -Lightsin 02:29, 17 May 2010 (UTC)
 * In answer to your questions: yes, there is a notability concept at Wikiquote (I believe this person meets the threshold) and yes the quotes should be listed in chronological order. As for what quotes to include, it's a bit subjective, but the quotes should be of a nature that they stand on their own as something memorable and are not just used to fill a page. For example, even if the person is undoubtedly notable, everything they say is not necessarily worthy of inclusion - as an example, it would be pretty pointless to quote Abraham Lincoln were he to describe his favorite recipe. Thanks for the contribution, and enjoy the site. ~ UDScott 13:16, 17 May 2010 (UTC)
