A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Wiki

From A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum. bibliomaniac 1 5 00:27, 16 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Support. I wonder what it was... --Tewy 02:50, 16 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

A flaw in the human character is that everybody wants to build and nobody wants to do maintenance.

Source: Kurt Vonnegut —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Hires an editor (talk • contribs) 21:32, 15 February 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Oppose. Too long and highlights a negative aspect of Wikipedia. --Tewy 22:42, 15 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose If I'm not very mistaken, this snowclone has been used before. -Fsotrain⁰⁹ 18:05, 14 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed, it was in the January 15 motto ("Wikipedia: If you were an encyclopedia, it'd edit you."). I retract the nom. Watch out, though, snowclone risks deletion someday.Circeus 18:27, 14 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Copy bad. Cite good.

Taken from experience in the classroom of students copy-pasting Wiki entries as their own essays. Lemuela 07:10, 14 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

When on Wikipedia, do as the Wikipedians do.

I prefer the wording and links in this edit. Wodup 05:24, 13 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Support edit 1. There's no reason to link to the Wikipedia article in a motto, so this is fine. And I agree with your above statement about logging in. --Tewy 23:46, 13 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If It Is To Be, It Is Up To Me

I heard this several years ago, anonymously at this point. It sounds like something people at WIKI would like because if we don't do it, who will?. mlmars0312Mlmars0312 21:31, 12 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Support. However the capitalization isn't needed. --Tewy 04:21, 13 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Support properly capitalized version with a period at the end. Link to WP:BOLD or not. Wodup 05:26, 13 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- Reply. I wasn't trying to mention anything in particular. I was just emphasizng, as a motto, that "a little wiki can spice up your day" or something like that.

Comment. There was a similar motto nominated a while ago, but it linked to another place. I'm not sure whether they're too similar. --Tewy 06:43, 4 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for leaving it unexplained. I meant that it was unfair (to Wikipedia) to have fair use images on one's user page (kind of a pun). S .D. ¿п? § 12:35, 2 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
