Support as it is, or with "invention" linked to Wikipedia:Starting an article. I prefer the latter because it is not linked as often in mottos as WP:ARTICLE and WP:FA, and it may be better to employ little-used links when relevant for variety.

If you love what you do, you will never work a day in your life.

Sorry, but aren't we allowed to reuse mottos? --Cameron * 12:11, 9 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's not a hard and fast rule, but usually old ones are not used again unless there is a special reason. Chamal ^Talk ± 12:29, 9 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

De facto director's note: Historically, mottos have not been reused. There have been five recent exceptions: the mottos for August 26-30 2008 were "re-runs" from several days in June 2006, because there wasn't enough participation here then to justify using any of these mottos. Now that activity is back up (thank you all!!) I would encourage the use of new, original mottos whenever possible. However, if editors are willing to invoke WP:IAR in the event they particularly like a given motto, that is perfectly acceptable and it will be scheduled if there is a sufficient consensus after 14 days. Hersfold ^(t/a/c) 04:45, 10 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

OK, thanks director. ;) I'll be more inventive next time. --Cameron * 19:32, 10 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If there is a fire in your house, us firefighters will come extinguish it as soon as possible.

Edit 1 of "Which si de will you choose?"

Edit 1. Changed the "si" link from WP:Vandal to Criticism of Wikipedia.

Oppose I'm not sure about the citation part... –Juliancolton ^Tropical ^Cyclone 01:58, 3 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
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)[reply]
Support - Reference are needed. Pushing references is also needed.WVhybrid (talk) 00:12, 5 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

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

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)[reply]

Weak oppose The links to indeed feel backwards, and it's kinda dull. –Juliancolton ^Tropical ^Cyclone 01:57, 3 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

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)[reply]
Support I think that's kind of clever, actually. --Lizzysama (talk) 01:30, 5 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
