Policy on Changing Quote Tags

I'd delete it

Sorry! I was editing my last post when you replied. I'm guessing that you're advocating deleting web addresses as tags. Is that right?

[Paula]

Yep - smells of free advertising

Agreed. Sometimes indicates a quote is spam (although not always).

Just wanted to weigh in on some issues. I think "Fiction" can be a valid tag if you are looking for quotes from fiction books versus non-fiction. I also think p-59 etc should be kept, because people may really want to see the page # that it comes from. I realize that different versions would have different numbers, but it would at least give people a starting off point. I agree about the website tags being deleted though.

I'm beginning to understand why one might want a tag like fiction. I don't support it, yet, but I'll certainly continue to leave them in place as many others disagree with my thinking on this. What I may do though is establish a new tag "on-fiction" like the "on-writing" tag that can guide those looking for quotes about the subject of fiction to a useful page of quotes.

In a potentially similar vein... can someone explain the mechanics of why this quote comes up when one follows the link behind "resolution" Of course the quote is about a resolution but there's no tag to support that. Why does it appear on the page?

I have a question that doesn't involve tags, but maybe I fix it the same way. I forgot to add my book title after my name when I added quotes from my book. Now it looks like the quotes are from me instead of my book. How do I add my book title after my name?

Laura Burks, Altered. (This is how I need it to be. As of now, it's just my name.)

Thanks!
