A Day without Laughter is like a Day without Sunshine
- Charlie Chaplin — this seems to be a general saying, without clear source to Chaplin and also part of a joke by Steve Martin

Removed nine (9) images, and bolding, from page

Latest comment: 11 years ago2 comments1 person in discussion

I've gone ahead and removed nine (9) images, and bolding, from page, Comedy.

From prior discussions here at WQ:VP it's been established that community consensus does not support image usage in this manner and does not support this type of bolding.

Hopefully these changes will stay in the page as stable.

Cheers,

Excessive obscure quotes

Latest comment: 4 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

These quotes by Nissim Mannathukkaren (who is of doubtful notability, he has no wikipedia page) were recently added , the quotes are obscure and only published once in a news blog.

The quote is also in about 10 other wikiquote articles.

This is a high level article. This article should have more quotes from books, rather than websites or newspapers, that have timeless quotability. --დამოკიდებულება (talk) 10:25, 3 October 2020 (UTC)Reply

-Dear Professor Appel,
-I am writing to find out whether you would be willing to confirm having made the following quote and whether we can use it, "Always warm up the audience with a joke....If you are not a particularly funny person, make sure that you inform them that it's a joke...." from your lecture at Brown University in 2003 in Wikiquote?
-Thank you so much.
-Alice Crayne
+The quote is also in about 10 other wikiquote articles.
-The speech was really on April 2, 20003, but the BDH covered it on Friday April 3, 'Appel offers riddles in Sphinx' p. 2.  I can't find copies going back that far online, but I do have a paper copy.  I can probably scan it in if you need me to for a source, but i don't know how to do that on Wikiquote.
