Quotes

Jimbo

These come up frequently.

Ignore all rules
"The encyclopedia is the result of discussion, dialogue, consensus, common sense... and rules can be helpful to that, but rules should never get in the way of that. To me it means that newbies are not required to spend 2 months reading policy documents before they roll up their sleeves and get to work."
Notability
retracting "We should have an article on every episode of The Simpson's, why not?"
Original research
"Zero information is preferred to misleading or false information"
Sources
"better to have no information, than to have information like this, with no sources." (briefly removed from WP:V)
Trivia
"The important thing is, Wikipedia is NOT a trivia collection."

Other

AFD
"To determine if the article is a hoax, copy vio, or libelous." (found here)
Anti-deletionism
"The great thing about the Deletionist Boogieman is that he can't just be blocked or banned, but can only be combatted by overthrowing a key part of our content guidelines on fiction."
"Wikipedia's goal has never, ever been to collect all the world's information—this particular lie is fostered by people who don't have the vaguest concept of what an encyclopedia sets out to do."
WP:FICT
"If a fiction-related subject is notable, it will always be possible to include more in an article than plot summaries, in-universe information, and references from popular culture"
WP:WL
""Wikilawyering" is "using the rules to produce an utterly perverse result". It is not "applying the rules precisely as they are written, for the purpose they were intended""

Outside

Family Guy

"This is followed by a lengthy section about the time that Thomas Jefferson was referenced on "Family Guy.""
"This needs to be added to the article. Or at least explain the joke to me. please"
I have long suspected some editors added trivia like this in hope someone would explain the joke.
