Question on MOTD
Can anyone close a nomination, even if he or she voted on the motto? I moved three nominations into the awaiting list, and I'd like to close a couple, just to get a feel of how to do it. Thanks in advance. --Cremepuff222 (talk, review me!) 22:37, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
- Oh I see now, users involved in the discussion can't close it. Could you still show me how? --Cremepuff222 (talk, review me!) 22:38, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
- I have a question as well, can I make a decision on whether or not a motto is approved, and if I can, how do I reopen it (I know how to list it on the approved list), and how do I decide a scheduled date if it is approved and if I can even approve/disapprove mottos. ~Steptrip 00:09, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
- To reopen a nomination, do you just cut the motto and post it at the top of the "in review" section? ~Steptrip 00:48, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
- How many votes does a nomination need to be approved? ~Steptrip 00:52, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Thank you very much, Tewy. That makes things a whole lot easier. I've also looked at your comments on Mr. Steptrips's page, so I think I have a pretty firm understanding of the process. Thanks again! --Cremepuff222 (talk, review me!) 00:58, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
- I already have another question... :). The last motto on the awaiting list has three support votes (one from me). Is this enough to go ahead and say that it can be used? Or should it be re-opened? --Cremepuff222 (talk, review me!) 01:07, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
- That's the one. Thanks for your tip. --Cremepuff222 (talk, review me!) 01:45, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
- Hi. I'm kind of confused about the edits procedure, proposed by you. If a motto has several edits, is the one with the most supports approved, and the other ones rejected? Also, are mottos with too few votes always reopened, even if it's one of several edits? Were there any mottos that were rejected and forgotten even with too few votes? Also, is there an archive for past mottos? I really think the mottos should be archived, or at least removed from the in review section, if it's already on the nominations page. This is because if the in review section is too long, it can cause browser problems, but the nominations page can be edited over several sections. This problem hasn't occured before, did some rule about it change? Also, great job with everything else on MOTD. PS. I created the motd star. Thanks. AstroHurricane001(Talk+Contribs+Ubx) 22:55, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
- Wow! You're really getting bombarded by questions! I have one simple question: what happens after a motto is add to the "Decisions to be acted on" section? --Cremepuff222 (talk, review me!) 23:08, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
- Sorry for not signing that previous message. Would you like for me to help you better clarify the guidelines and post it on the mottoes pages? --Cremepuff222 (talk, review me!) 00:40, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
- Reply. Hi. Thanks for answering my questions so thouroughly, and yes, you did answer practically all my questions. I could still not find a direct reason why the in review page is being so large, I thinkit is because of your mass reopenings and closings, and the huge number of mottos. I am beginning to resee mottos already forgotten for weeks. I don't really mind the page being so large, I think my browser can handle it. I guess the problem is,some mottos are so boring or unpopular, people are not paying attention to them, not even enough to oppose on its boringness. Anyway, thanks again. Bye for now. AstroHurricane001(Talk+Contribs+Ubx) 00:57, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
- Would it be time to decide on mottos (the ones posted before 03/15)? ~Steptrip 00:59, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
mottos
You do a lot of work on WP:MOTTO. - PatricknoddyTALK (reply here)|HISTORY 11:51, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
- Yep: He has a barnstar to show for it. - Mtmelendez (TALK|UB|HOME) 22:21, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
Ich bin ein Wikipedian
Hey, man. When I looked at the previous nomination, I noticed it was different. It was Benutzer, not Wikipedian. I even noticed that you would support this change. So, I thought that this nomination should be treated as a new one, since technically, is hasn't been nominated yet, and more so if the original version wasn't even used. I know I realized this after I withdrew the nomination, but I still would like to hear your opinion. Regards... - Mtmelendez (TALK|UB|HOME) 22:21, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
Hey man, no problem. I'll remove my withdrawal. Thanks for understanding. - Mtmelendez (TALK|UB|HOME) 22:36, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
please decide on it soon!
Hi. I realize you are one of the most active users on motd, and I could ask some other users but I don't want to spam or canvass. If I posted on the project talkpage, it might not be answered in time. We really need to fill in the today's motto page. I mean, all over wikipedia, it is appearing as a redlink. Please quickly gain consensus over today's motto so we can fix it. Usually we have months, but today we only have a few hours, if not a few minutes. Please either you or someone else try to fix this and gain consensus. Sorry if I'm bothering you if I should be asking someone else, and I hope you don't mind. Thanks. AstroHurricane001(Talk+Contribs+Ubx) 00:11, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
- Hi. It wasn't meant to be a joke on my part. I only remebered that there was a motto like that after you showed it to me. I was wondering where the April fools' nominations had gone, I couldn't find it in the history. Also, I see you turned your page into AAAAAAAAAA! Why not add the diagonal banner at the top? Thanks.

Beaten to the punch!!!
Hello there. After my little prank on WP:AFD, I was dismayed to discover that shortly before it had been targeted by you! So much for my originality... :-P I hope that my prank will last longer than yours though. ;-) Here's some recognition for you beating me to the punch. Festive regards, Húsönd 02:53, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Do you think the way it is linked is okay on the 24hr motto? Simply south 12:12, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
An April Fools' Day Record of Mischief
At 00:00, 1 April 2007 (UTC), I left a fun little note at Wikipedia:Sandbox with the caption, Properties of a choza (diff). Shortly after, at 00:06, 1 April 2007 (UTC), User:Bobo The Ninja responded on my talk page (here) with the caption, Thank you for your recent vandalism of, I mean, contribution to, the Sandbox. Your turn to be the fool! Cheers, Ninja! (diff). Here is a copy of his code he left:
<div class="usermessage plainlinks">You have '''<font color=002BB8>[[April Fools' Day|new messages]]</font> (<font color=002BB8>[[April Fools' Day|last change]]</font>).'''</div>
I will be deleting the message soon, as (sadly) April Fools' Day has passed, and I want to archive it somehow. Below is a record of the other choza diffs I made that "tricky" day.
[1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9], and [10].
--Tewy 03:00, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
- Heh, talking to myself. I deleted it. --Tewy 03:07, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
WP:JOTD
You seem to know a lot of about "_______ of the day" so I'm going to ask you: Has there ever been a Wikiproject Joke of the day? I wouldn't be surprised if it suffered the same death as Espersnza. ~Steptrip 02:58, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
- Was MOTD ever deleted? ~Steptrip 14:08, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
- This may be a bit personal, but did most of these WP edits come from MOTD? ~Steptrip 03:03, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
- No specific reasons. ~Steptrip 14:40, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
Proposed Archival Solution
Since practically no one has been at MOTD in the past few days besides you and I, I figured that I should make the proposal on your talk page. Should I set up MiszaBot II to automatically archive all MOTD talk pages? Also, should images (e.g. 
) be used in votes on nominations? If either one should be done, please inform me, and I will gladly do it. ~Steptrip 14:36, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
- I was talking about the archival of discussions at WT:MOTD and talk subpages at MOTD, not the archival of nominations, and as for the images in votes, they would make it easier when closing a nomination (kind of like what Vanderdecken, Fir0002, and I do at WP:FPC). ~Steptrip 18:32, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
- True, I now know that the images are peripheral to the boldfaced words. Thanks, ~Steptrip 20:03, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
Signature size
Is this better?
<span style="font-family: Monotype Corsiva; font-size: 12pt">[[User:Cremepuff222|Cremepuff]][[User:Cremepuff222#Notable Wikipedians|222]] ([[User talk:Cremepuff222|talk]], [[Wikipedia:Editor review/Cremepuff222|review me!]])</span>
Cremepuff222 (talk, review me!) 17:45, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
- Wow, you seem to be displeased with both of our signatures, even though they comply with policy, however, I have removed some unnecessary parameters and a hyperlink. ~Steptrip 23:04, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
- Are you just subst'ing a template? Also, I've created a template that puts links in a box at the bottom of a person's talk page, on a random note. ~Steptrip 23:07, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
- I was talking about the messages you gave me and Cremepuff when I said, "Are you just subst'ing some template?" Also, when I was talking about templates, I was referring to {{Usertalk footer}} (I do use the 4 tilde way, as well). ~Steptrip 23:05, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
- Just to clear everything up, the template didn't have anything to do with the signature messages, I said it on the spur of the moment. Thanks, ~Steptrip 00:56, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
Thanks!
That makes sense... What I've figured out is that I didn't have my search preferences set up to look for user pages in the first place, and I hadn't thought of the case-sensitivity issue. The mystery is solved! Diabloman 00:21, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
Archiving
Sorry about that. I seems to be reading oddly lately, and thought it went to the bottom. ---Without Wax Chrishyman 19:34, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
Signature
I've managed to reduce my signature size quite a bit and still keep it looking cool. What do you think (about both size and appearance)?
'''''[[User:Cremepuff222|<font color="008000">
*Cremepuff</font>]][[User talk:Cremepuff222|<font color="006400">222*</font>]]'''''
I haven't counted, but I think it is <=100 characters. *Cremepuff222* 22:38, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
New MoTD template!
Hello, Tewy! I've been working on a new template for MoTD that automatically generates a random motto for the past hour, and I want to know what you think of it. Check out User:Cremepuff222/RandomMotto. *Cremepuff222* 00:24, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks very much for editing it! Is it alright if I add it to the table on the MoTD page? *Cremepuff222* 17:10, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
I just made the month part random too..., is that bad? *Cremepuff222* 17:41, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
- Well, considering that this whole year is done for motto planning, we could just keep it like that (for now, at least...). *Cremepuff222* 17:55, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
Good point, I'll make some changes... *Cremepuff222* 18:06, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
Motto
Hey Tewy, you may not know me but I was wondering what you thought of my motto? Mine is the You Can Do It! one. Thanks Harrison-HB4026 06:41, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
Hi, I just wanted to let you know that there is a discussion on that page about whether or not WikiProject MOTD should act as a "WikiProject sponsor" in Bibliomaniac's RfA. The whole story about why MOTD should do this is on the MOTD talk page. ~ Magnus animum (aka Steptrip) 23:26, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
You Can Do It?
Come on, mine sounds better than that. Does that mean I cant do it? Harrison-HB4026 00:30, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
Lets Do It
Ok, how about Lets do it? Harrison-HB4026 08:56, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
