Just the facts, ma'am

takeoff on Joe Friday's famous line. Spikebrennan 18:06, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

  • Weak support. It's nice (better if linked to Wikipedia:FAQ), but doesn't really say much about Wikipedia. --Tewy 03:25, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

*Oppose, as I would rather have actual facts—ScouterSig 16:20, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

    • What about “Just the facts, ma'am” ? —ScouterSig 16:20, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
      • I weak support that, because then the motto becomes the original quote with a random link that serves as the sole connection between the quote and Wikipedia. --Tewy 00:55, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

'Approved with the edit. --`/aksha 03:15, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

Knowledge is infinite, Wikipedia is not.

I just thought of it AstroHurricane001(Talk+Contribs+Ubx) 00:42, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

  • Comment: Proving that Wikipedia doesn't have to be infinite to contain nearly the sum of human knowledge. Similar to my other mottos. Also, can I make more mottos? AstroHurricane001(Talk+Contribs+Ubx) 22:35, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Of course! We would love to approve more mottos. Add as many as you feel are worthy. --Tewy 22:44, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment. How about "Knowledge is infinite, Wikipedia is not."? That way it doesn't sound like Wikipedia is lacking information unintentionally. --Tewy 22:47, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
  • That was the best link I could find that said Wikipedia is not a collection of all the knowledge (including the small things) in the world. --Tewy 00:58, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

Rejected - lack of support. --`/aksha 03:15, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

The starting source of Wikipedia shall never run out of ideas.

Just thought of it. AstroHurricane001(Talk+Contribs+Ubx) 00:42, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

  • Oppose. Your other motto is a hit; this one isn't. Wodup 03:58, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Support What's wrong with it? I like it. Wow, AstroHurricane is on a roll here...in my opinion :). --Tohru Honda13Talk•Sign here 04:29, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
    • Comment. Does it mean something that I just don't get? I guess I don't get the starting source thing. Wodup 05:06, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
      • I'm also confused about that. Could you clarify? It may involve modifying the motto. --Tewy 01:08, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
        • comment What I literally meant was, Knowledge is infinite, so Wikipedia keeps growing, which means it doesn't run out of topics. AstroHurricane001(Talk+Contribs+Ubx) 22:55, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

Rejected - lack of support, and hard to understand motto. --`/aksha 03:15, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

Knowing is half the battle

This quote, linked to WP:NPOV, is taken from Apple Computer. —sd31415 (sign here) 20:47, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

Rejected - lack of support. --`/aksha 03:15, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedia wasn't built in a edit

Again, this might have been done before. This comes from "Rome wasn't built in a day." Wikipedia isn't built, technically, so edit 1 is "changing built to created." --The preceding comment was signed by User:Sp3000 (talk•contribs) 07:52, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

Another motto in development

"Vandalize us once Shame on you, Vandalize us twice ______" with the blank being along the lines of block/ban. Any suggestions/changes? 1 day to go...! User:Sp3000 06:54, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

  • Comment. The original saying is Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. (from Wikiquote). Since I can't see how it would be "shame on us" :-), my suggestion (stolen from October 25) is "Vandalize us once, shame on you. Vandalize us twice, shame on...wait, you can't vandalize when you're blocked."

However in this case, nothing is not used as to mean an absence of things, but rather as a title of an article on the concept of nothingness. The motto is meant to read like an announcement, such as the header for an article in a magazine. However on reflection, I suppose, 'Nothing isn't too obscure for wikipedia,' might be better even if it loses a little punch. --Gigacannon 23:58, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

A wonder to behold, every page solid gold

I was having a day where I was reading every single bit of a dvd case. It was Spiderman. And two reviews were on it. "A wonder to behold" "Pure spun gold". Thought it was funny.--The preceding unsigned comment was added by Okellies (talk * contribs).

Send in the droids!

This or maybe split it into two mottos: "Send in the droids!" and "Deploy turret emplacements!" --May the Edit be with you, always. T-borg (drop me a line) 20:55, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

Comment If it is split, I'd prefer the first one. What's a "turret emplacement?" -Fsotrain09 23:17, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment: the tools are the emplacements (i.e. the "gun platforms"), and we are the actual turrets, get it? ;) --May the Edit be with you, always. T-borg (drop me a line) 09:15, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment: Platforms? Oh. -Fsotrain09 19:50, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Support "Send in the droids". I didn't know what a turret emplacement was either. --Tewy 03:31, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment: then, how about siply "Deploy the turrets!", tough that one doesn't really have much flare. ;) --May the Edit be with you, always. T-borg (drop me a line) 09:37, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
    • Yeah, that is a little weird...I didn't know turrets could be "deployed"... --Tewy 20:56, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Ok ,seen as the second part throws people off a bit, I'm shortening the motto to just "Send in the droids!" --May the Edit be with you, always. T-borg (drop me a line) 10:25, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

  • Great idea, but I'm thinking it needs some links to make the reader think. We already have one LOTR motto lined up, which is very witty: My precious. Everyone feel free to suggest links. --Vanderdecken∴ ∫ξφ 09:57, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Oppose. What does this say about Wikipedia? Links might help. --Tewy 03:29, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak oppose, even if links are added. I just... eh. It's not bad, but it's not the greatest. (I know this is poor rationale...) It's a bit long, and it's not particularly catchy, and as Tewy said, it has nothing to do with WP. -- Kicking222 04:07, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

Every page is sacred, Every edit's great. If a page is wasted, PROD gets quite irate.

...but with a <br> tag between each line, there being four. Like:
Every page is sacred,
Every edit's great.
If a page is wasted,
PROD gets quite irate.

This is derived from the lyrics of Monty Python's 'Every Sperm is Sacred' song, from The Meaning of Life. --Vanderdecken∴ ∫ξφ 19:37, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

Just for reference, the real lyrics are here. If anyone wants to watch it, the original sketch is here on YouTube, and and identical clip on Google Video.
