““Only enter quotes from notable people. Generally, a person is notable if they have been the subject of published secondary source material which is reliable, intellectually independent, and independent of the subject. Quotes can be from any source (books, spoken words, news articles, etc) as long as they pass the above criteria. Only enter the author's name in the author field (not their birthdate or which book the quote is from). When entering author names with initials (H.G. Wells, J.K. Rowling), don't put spaces between the initials.””
