Headquotes in Articles
The Mass Effect Wiki does permit the use of headquotes in articles in specific locations and each is subject to different rules. All quotes must be spoken by the character and applies to Major Characters. Major Characters are defined as squadmates, major storyline NPCs (David Anderson, Donnel Udina, Armando-Owen Bailey, Illusive Man), major enemies (Saren Arterius, Harbinger, Sovereign), and NPCs who fill those roles in downloadable content packs.
 * Top of article: This headquote must be from the game in which the character was introduced, and must represent the character as a whole. Meaning if we are talking about Tali'Zorah nar Rayya, the quote must be from Mass Effect.
 * There is a exception for Miranda Lawson and Jacob Taylor due to the larger role of the game, and more dialogue is present.
 * If the character is present in multiple games, for example, Garrus Vakarian, a headquote can be at the top, and at the top of the section dealing with the other game(s). With Garrus as an example, the article can have headquotes a the top of the article, one at the top of the Mass Effect 2 Section, one in the Romance section, and one in the Mass Effect 3 section.
 * At the top of the romance section. This quote must not be a funny line, but a more serious one describing the relationship.
 * If a character has multiple romance sections, then a headquote is permitted in each one, but the quote in each must be from the game they are about.

Headquotes may be inserted and changed, but if a change is reverted, then a discussion about changing it must take place on the relevant talk page. However, it is recommended that the initial quote be discussed so there isn't multiple discussions to change it.
