[edit] Quote of the Week policy
Quotes are added to the main page on the first day of each given week, defined as the Monday of each week, the quote will be changed any time on the Monday (defined by GMT - Greenwich Mean Time). The week ends on the Sunday of said week.
- Nominate and vote for quotes here: Tardis:Quote of the Week nominations
Please note any users who alter the quote of the week who do not follow the nominate and vote policy will have their additions removed from the main page. (Actions following that to be determined)
A user may only vote for one quote each week. (No multiple votes for quotes)
There should be no more than 10 quotes nominated in a week (as this would probably result in a hung nomination).
A user may nominate more than one quote in a single week, however they may still only vote for one quote.
In the event of a tie in the voting, the quote submitted last in the tie becomes quote of the week for that given week.
[edit] Posting the quote
When posting the quote to the main page, the user's ID (which may be used during the nomination process) does not need to be posted alongside the quote to the main page.
