Since the old motto has become a tired and embarrassing joke, there was a recent discussion the teh Jimmy's talkpage about adopting a new one that better reflects the true nature of WP. The discussion was closed before it even really got off the ground. Which is a pity because Wikiland really does need a new motto.
My suggestion, which I found on a colleague's userpage, would be: Written by the unwell, read by the unwise. Any other suggestions?  |

Wikipedia: almost but not entirely unlike an encyclopedia
Wikipedia: all the same letters and numbers, but without the cumbersome scholarship Wikipedia: Jimbo's big bag o' slander, typos, lies, and trivia! |

WIKIPEDIA MUST DIE A SLOW PAINFUL DEATH AND ANYONE WHO EDITS THERE IS A COMPLETE JACKASS AND SHOULD GO TO JAIL Is good, but I like his "I can't believe it's an encyclopedia!" better.

Personally, I thought "the discussion was closed before it even really got off the ground" would make a good motto, given the current state of things over there. |
