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?  |

Our Man in Rotterdam put it quite well:
QUOTE(Guido den Broeder @ Thu 6th August 2009, 12:37pm) Yes, but that won't help Wikipedia, which features the difference of all human knowledge rather than the sum. I figure this means on its best days a WP article will only reflect the portion [of human knowledge] which nobody powerful enough has an interest in vetoing. I figure by the end of the song, Leeroy "Free Encyclopedia" Brown will look like a jigsaw puzzle with most of the pieces defaced, inverted, redacted, cut in half, or painted out by request of EMI. That's what the broken globe logo is all about, right? This post has been edited by CharlotteWebb: Tue 26th January 2010, 11:07pm |
