There is no such thing as a Civil War

I feel obligated to say that this was inspired by the book "Who Ordered the Jumbo Shrimp?" by Jon Agee. The book stated that the term CIVIL WAR was actually an oxymoron. The book doesn't have a Wikipedia article, though, so I couldn't arrow-link it. Artichoke-Boy (talk) 16:26, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

It sounds like you want someone to take a wikibreak and stop editing Wikipedia. Don't we want editors to edit Wikipedia? Thanks, RyRy (talk) 08:46, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
Do you really want people to get addicted to Wikipedia? Also, it just says for "today". -- K. Annoyomous24 GO LAKERS! Please reply on my talk page. Thanks. 18:01, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
One editor can make a big difference to Wikipedia in one day. And since hundreds of users read the Motto of the Day, hundreds of users might leave Wikipedia for a day if this was to appear on Motto of the Day. That can be a big loss to Wikipedia. Do we really want that to happen? No, I don't think so, and I wouldn't want anything like this to happen at all. -- RyRy (talk) 03:51, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

  • Weak Oppose It's funny, but it does send the wrong message. Maybe it you reworded it so that Wikipedia WAS the break- from that individual's dreary work or whatever. Or maybe even a break from fast food? Nutiketaiel (talk) 11:58, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

Never pet a burning dog.

A good friend said it once, and I've been saying it ever since! Lazywolf (talk) 02:33, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

Rejected per WP:SNOW - sorry, mottos need to relate to Wikipedia in some way and this is highly inappropriate to begin with. I realize you are new here, but all the same, please consider what other people's reactions could be before you post something. Wikipedia is a high-traffic site and we get many visitors daily who may not know what we're about. Hersfold (t/a/c) 15:57, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

I got this line from the name of a well-known sports movie, "Remember the Titans". This motto states that you should remember wikipedians for their contributions even if they have left us. It also derects you to the Deceased Wikipedians Memorial page. Artichoke-Boy (talk) 20:52, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

How does this relate to Wikipedia? -- K. Annoyomous24 04:07, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

The motto simply says "what goes around, comes around," in other words with the links, "If you vandalize too much, you will be blocked" It may convince users to stop vandalizing, or they will face the consequences of being blocked. RyRy5 (talk) 23:45, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

Approved for Wikipedia:Motto of the day/September 25, 2008 with suggested change which is now reflected above. Attribution of the quote is required, so I've added that as well. Hersfold (t/a/c) 18:33, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

Sadly Rejected, although I'd suggest Juliancolton watch some good sci-fi TV. Although yes, Scotty would not be manning tactical, he'd be getting the engines to "give all she's got, capt'n!" Hersfold (t/a/c) 18:23, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

Wikipedia, The gateway to knowledge.

Something I came up with. --Condalence] 08:13, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

  • Weak support. Good idea overall, but the links are a bit redundant and a link from "gateway" would be good, and I fixed the spacing. ~AH1(TCU) 15:30, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

Approved for Wikipedia:Motto of the day/September 21, 2008. It's not the strongest consensus, no, but I don't feel like relisting this and I like it too. Hersfold (t/a/c) 16:37, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
