What, you mean Ben shouldn't just know all content from all media off by heart? *NM*

It's really starting to frustrate me. A few days ago I saw something attributed to "Mazrim Tam" (sic) and now today someone called Blaine submitted "Elementary, my dear Watson" and attributed it to "Sherlock Holmes by Arthur Conan Doyle".
As anyone who has read the various Sherlock Holmes books should know, he never said that. Ever.
I went to trouble of looking it up on the Internet and Snopes.com has a great debunking of the popular myth, explaining that it comes from a derivative film from the 1920s.
There are a few other quotes of the moment that sounded wrong but I didn't have the time to check them. We really should have a way to flag quotes that are in some way wrong or incorrectly formatted.

Is there a way to flag incorrect "Quotes of the Moment"?

I think Snoop immediately commented on that line never having been said in SH

I guess I should have mentioned that I saw it today, not that it was submitted today.

I doubt one Quote Admin, no matter how versed, could check all the quotes.

Yeah but they could do a quick google search to weed out the worst miss quotes

You could just NB Ben and/or an Admin with access to the database.
