In some of our larger articles, what should be the section providing a brief overview is instead inundated with quotes from many sources across Rayman's 20 year history. The end result is an overview which is buried and bloated. I believe quotes do help provide context, but at the same time, they shouldn't dumped as they seem to be.
Personally, I think we should attempt to spread out quotes and place them within headings which closely tie to the era or subject the quote relates to. Alternatively, we could try to have a sub-page to gather quotes, as we've done for quotes from the games, like the Rayman 3 quotes articles.
Regardless though, I do feel this is another area which could do with some tidying up, what do you folks think?

Re: Excessive Quotes
To demonstrate what I mean, I decided to move the quotes around in the Cage article, compared to when they were all at the top. Do you folks feel that it is better or worse?
Re: Excessive Quotes
I think it looks much cleaner now, good job.

Re: Excessive Quotes
Looks like it's approved. I'll see about doing the same for other articles.

Re: Excessive Quotes
There's a quote page now isn't there?

Re: Excessive Quotes
The quote pages on the French wiki are great. The English one I'm not too sure about.

Re: Excessive Quotes
I guess they're the most needed ones, since that game isn't subtitled at all!
