Not really. It has been 'liked' and has also been on Goodreads for two and a half years. Does it need editing?

Done.

I think this is from a movie. https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/1270...

[Guatón]

362 done. I fixed and attributed the quote to the screenwriter of House of Wax.

"Thomas White not an author":

Quotes can come from non-authors. However, they must be from notable sources, and that one wasn't. (That is, there are many notable Thomas Whites, but there is no evidence one of them said that.)

1. This is not a Terry Pratchett quote. It was written by editor, reviewer and blogger James Nicoll.

2. The quote is incorrect as well. The full quote:

"The problem with defending the purity of the English language is that English is about as pure as a cribhouse whore. We don't just borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat them unconscious and riffle their pockets for new vocabulary."

The Wikipedia link is here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Ni...

and it leads to sources to back up the quote, if you need them.

Thanks so much!

Combined with the proper quote which is already on Goodreads and is regularly combined with the inevitable duff versions.

The original posting had "riffle" which would make perfect sense to any UK citizen but Mr Nicoll has confirmed that it should be "rifle".

Is it possible to delete this quote? It's a book spoiler. https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/6635...

The first one(with less likes), is the correct phrasing with "Madness". See here: http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Beyond_G...

This is one of those that needs editing by someone with more access than a librarian. It's almost perfect, but "tellar" should be "teller".

[Banjomike]

Done the "teller".

Is it an actual quote? If yes, why should it be deleted if it's accurate?

Could this quote please be deleted, it's attributed to the wrong author.
