There is no such thing as a Civil War

I feel obligated to say that this was inspired by the book "Who Ordered the Jumbo Shrimp?" by Jon Agee. The book stated that the term CIVIL WAR was actually an oxymoron. The book doesn't have a Wikipedia article, though, so I couldn't arrow-link it. Artichoke-Boy (talk) 16:26, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

One editor can make a big difference to Wikipedia in one day. And since hundreds of users read the Motto of the Day, hundreds of users might leave Wikipedia for a day if this was to appear on Motto of the Day. That can be a big loss to Wikipedia. Do we really want that to happen? No, I don't think so, and I wouldn't want anything like this to happen at all. -- RyRy (talk) 03:51, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

• Strong Support - Well, I don't know the original words, but I love the quote and the links are perfect. Nutiketaiel (talk) 13:49, 4 September 2008 (UTC)
• Weak support Good idea, but not the original words... strdst_grl (call me Stardust) 17:17, 4 September 2008 (UTC)
• Weak support As per stardust, the correct lyrics are "Never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down". Aside from that a little wiki-rickrolling never hurt anyone I suppose! •xytram•tkcsgy 23:16, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

• Weak oppose An obscure quote that nobody except for Canadians would know of, though it's catchy. –Juliancolton ^{Tropical Cyclone} 02:00, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
• Weak Support - I don't understand the reference at all (probably because I'm not Canadian), but it is pretty catchy. Nutiketaiel (talk) 13:51, 4 September 2008 (UTC)
• Oppose Doesn't do anything for me I'm afriad •xytram•tkcsgy 23:13, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

No consensus, therefore Rejected. Hersfold ^(t/a/c) 16:39, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

A picture is worth a thousand words; a citation is worth a thousand more.

• Neutral leaning to oppose- Been done before, but the citation part's a nice touch. --EinsteiNewton 00:41, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

• Oppose I'm not sure about the citation part... –Juliancolton ^{Tropical Cyclone} 01:58, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
• Strong Support - I like this one. It is relatively clever, and puts a great emphasis on citation of sources, which alot of newer users overlook. Replace the comma with a semicolon, and I'll be 110% behind it. Nutiketaiel (talk) 13:54, 4 September 2008 (UTC)
• Support - Reference are needed. Pushing references is also needed.WVhybrid (talk) 00:12, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
• Strong Support: Gives an excellent message. Chamal ^Talk 12:15, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

Approved for Wikipedia:Motto of the day/September 21, 2008. It's not the strongest consensus, no, but I don't feel like relisting this and I like it too. Hersfold ^(t/a/c) 16:37, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

With a click or another, you will soon discover!

There are probably more links that are better that the ones I have put here. [[ axg ⁞⁞ talk ]] 12:17, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

• Comment. Shouldn't the links be switched around? I think it would make more sense that way.Artichoke-Boy (talk) 13:49, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

• Edit Swapped links and added WP:BOLD •xytram•tkcsgy 10:43, 4 September 2008 (UTC)
• Conditional Support - I like that the links are switched, but lose the Bold link; it seems out of place. I support if the bold link is removed, or at least replaced with something more appropriate. Nutiketaiel (talk) 14:07, 4 September 2008 (UTC)
• Support I think that's kind of clever, actually. --Lizzysama (talk) 01:30, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
• Support I like this one!. La Alquimista 07:27, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
• Support good one, I really like it. « Hiram111^{ΔTalK Δ} 16:52, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
