Send in the militia, infantry, cavalry, and siege weapons!

Is this similar to an existing motto, or did I finally produce a new war-related motto? --Gray Porpoise_{Your wish is my command!} 02:27, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

Comment. It's similar to Wikipedia:Motto of the day/Nominations#Paratroopers, Marines, Infantry, shoot the enemies!, where there was a little question as to the ranks of each. I really don't know if this one is "correctly ranked", however. --Tewy 03:50, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
Suggestion per Tewy: why not make it without any ranking systems? For example, "Send in the militia: commanders, soldiers, scouts, and siege weapons!" How's that? Yuser31415 07:50, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

Just a question. --Goodface87 06:24, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

Any and all suggestions are appreciated, and by no way the inclusion of links is necessary, it's just that some mottos, like this one need them for clarification reasons. Plus, you can always ask the others about certain links, and someone will surely inform you. I myself don't know all the Wikipedia related pages, so don't worry. --May the Edit be with you, always.

Oppose for several reasons: (1) Yin is not evil; it's a dark, passive, feminine force, and identifying it with vandalism is both offensive (to me, anyway) and somewhat incongruous (vandalism being definitely an active kind of thing); (2) Yin and Yang are both disambigs; the page is Yin and Yang, which kind of contradicts the explicit meaning; (3) I oppose on principle the approval of any more mottos linking to Wikipedia:Vandalism unless they are really, really funny.

Good idea to expand on. How about "Wikipedia is...A Wiki, In progress, ~~Kompletely~~ Becoming error-free, Indifferent, Public, Editor-friendly, Dynamic, Interesting, and Addicting." My other ideas were "Evolving" and "All of the above". "Public" could also link to Wikipedia:Copyrights. Any other suggestions? --Tewy 02:22, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

- That's another option. But then you'd have to change the other letters to keep it consistent. Right now they describe what Wikipedia is, not what makes it up. So if you or anyone else can think of some more things that are part of Wikipedia, that could work (Wikipedians, Articles, etc.) --Tewy 18:54, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

Then Jimbo said, "Let there be Wikipedia."

This actually comes from the following reimagining of Genesis 1:1-13 (please bear with me on this one):

In the beginning, Jimbo created MediaWiki and Wikimedia. MediaWiki was empty and had no form. Darkness covered the ocean, and Jimbo's Spirit was moving over the ocean.
Then Jimbo said, "Let there be Wikipedia," and there was Wikipedia. Jimbo saw that Wikipedia was good, so he divided Wikipedia from the darkness. Jimbo named Wikipedia "day", and the darkness "night". Evening passed, and morning came. This was the first day.
Then Jimbo said, "Let there be something to divide the MediaWiki in two." So Jimbo made the air and placed some of the MediaWiki above the air, and some below. Jimbo named the air, "Wikimedia". Evening passed, and morning came. This was the second day.
Then Jimbo said, "Let the MediaWiki under Wikimedia be gathered together so the dry land will appear." And it happened. Jimbo named the dry land "categories" and the MediaWiki that was gathered together "portals". Jimbo saw that this was good.
Then Jimbo said, "Let the categories produce articles—some with information, and others to disambiguate information." And it happened. Wikipedia produced articles with information, and disambiguation pages. Jimbo saw that all this was good. Evening passed, and morning came. This was the third day.

(This quote can immediately be moved to BJAODN if necessary.) While this is factually incorrect in areas, I think it pretty much sums up the very beginnings of Wikipedia. What does every one else think? --JB Adder | Talk 12:56, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

Comment And "Where there are sertain mottos, there should be sertain links", me thinks. ;-) --May the Edit be with you, always. T-borg (drop me a line) 21:24, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
- Those "sertain links" (sic) could be a set of two polar opposites on Wikipedia:
  - light and darkness
  - light and darkness
  - light and darkness
  - light and darkness
  - light and darkness
  - light and darkness
  - light and darkness --Gray Porpoise_{Your wish is my command!} 21:21, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

Support as "You killed my father! No, I am your father!", though that's technically not in the movie (List of misquotations, about halfway down). I just think it's hard to tell where the original quote is from without the first line. As far as links go, I think the Jimmy one fits best, but we don't have a lot for Nupedia as of now. I can't decide the best word to link Special:Mypage to. And by the way, "father" starts to sound very strange after you say it enough times... --Tewy 23:23, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
