The quote parameter in a cite template is not for coatracking other information into the cite. Everything that makes up the cite should support the article text it is appended to.
InaMaka introduced this unusual tactic on October 24 and was reverted by Arbor832466. InaMaka restored on the 25th and was reverted by ArglebargleIV. On the same day, InaMaka restored again and was reverted by Arbor832466, which was soon reverted by InaMaka to make three reversions in 24 hours. I deleted the unneeded and out-of-context quote parameter text two days later and was reverted by InaMaka. I am removing that text once again and starting this talk page dialog, something that should have been started on the 25th by InaMaka after the first reversion.
It appears the consensus is that the quote parameter should not be used for source text unrelated to the article text, that the cite should only be a cite for that text. Binksternet ( talk) 13:22, 27 October 2010 (UTC)
Please join the conversation at Template_talk:Citation#Quote_parameter_used_for_irrelevant_text. Thank you. Binksternet ( talk) 13:07, 29 October 2010 (UTC)
I am removing the text again, for all the reasons listed here. The text is not relevant to the cite, but all cite quotes must be relevant. Binksternet ( talk) 02:25, 31 October 2010 (UTC)
