It would be really handy to have an admin page to do mass operations on quotes. For example, to show a long list of quotes and to allow checking of quotes to delete. Or to have a similar option to do edits of large numbers of quotes.

Similarly, try doing a search on your site to find a specific quote and then to edit it -- it's extremely cumbersome. (Maybe others are perfect and it's just me that makes typos in their quotes? :-)

The present method of doing edits/deletes one-at-a-time is fine if you only have a dozen quotes; but it's tedious to the extreme if you have hundreds of quotes.

I agree that trying to find a single quote without the search feature is difficult. How would you envision finding it? I find the "Recent quotes" block and author links helpful.

For deleting several quotes at a time, I use the Administer » Content management » Content page. I'm trying to envision why I should duplicate that function.

How would you see using a mass edit? This concept escapes me.
