 And the admins broke Piggy's glasses...  Group: Regulars Posts: 613 Joined: Wed 25th Nov 2009, 2:23am From: Hell, Your Majesty... Member No.: 15,578 WP user page - talk check - contribs  |
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 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. Would you like to be 1/3 or the troika along with either Milton or Jonny (depending on who responds first) and myself that will choose the nominees for the poll?  |
