[edit] Wikipedia: as big as you think
About #20 ("Wikipedia: as big as you think") I have one teeny quibble. My original suggestion used a comma, not a colon, since the Kansas slogan officially uses a comma. Do with that information what you will; it's just punctuation, right? - AdelaMae (t - c - wpn) 00:56, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
- It was suggested in the original discussion that a colon would make more sense, as the comma doesn't really feel right, to be honest. And exactly how many people are going to notice, eh? —Vanderdecken∴ ∫ξφ 11:16, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
- Probably just me, and honestly, I didn't even know it was a comma until I went to look it up for the motto. I think it's bad grammar, but I'm not a sloganeer. *shrug* - AdelaMae (t - c - wpn) 20:14, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
- If you use a comma, the phrase is an incomplete sentence, whereas if you use a colon, it's acceptable as simply a phrase. Maybe Kansas just wanted to be rebellious. --Tewy 21:02, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Understaffed?
I just got done moving forty mottoes onto the schedule page. Can someone or a few people start removing the mottoes from the approved page to the schedule regularly? I just don't want anyone to go through what I had to experience... ;) --Cremepuff222 (talk, review me!) 02:08, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
- Hmm, just found the page. Maybe it should be better advertised? Or maybe I'm incompetent. Either way, I'm here to help now! Chrishyman 02:48, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

- Or perhaps someone should nom this page for deletion, since no one uses it. ~ Magnus animum ∵ ∫ φ γ 02:34, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
- It does get used, but the mottos are usually removed quickly to be scheduled. This is a nice page to store the mottos in their plain form (without the discussions), especially if more than one is being closed at once. --Tewy 17:28, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
- This page, along with all the other important pages, can be seen on the template that appears at the top of all the important pages. --Tewy 17:30, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
