Edit 1 - The last link is my way of saying something along the lines of "Gah! I can't come up with a link that actually works well! Er... I'll just throw a not-so-great one in, and hope nobody notices." Any better ideas for it would be lovely. :) ~~ Hi878 ^{(Come shout at me!)} 02:45, 5 May 2011 (UTC)

• Withdrawn I just noticed that this is a slogan for a drink, and as a result, I really don't want to have anything to do with the motto. I withdraw my nomination. ~~ Hi878 ^{(Come shout at me!)} 02:49, 5 May 2011 (UTC)

 Reopened - no consensus. This is a place to come up with mottos and slogans. Or a play on one already established. Simply south...... unintentionally misspelling fr 5 years 16:59, 24 May 2011 (UTC)

• Question - how does 'light after darkness' link with WP:WANTED? Do you mean that having an article is bringing light and replacing the darkness of ignorance or something? WVRMad•Talk•Guestbook 18:31, 4 May 2011 (UTC)
  • Re: if there is a list (and it exists) of most wanted articles (into the darkness), then it is possible that, sooner or later, some of them will go to the mainspace (into the light). –pjoef (talk • contribs) 07:00, 10 May 2011 (UTC)
