Motto of the day Hello I notice you re using one of the templates run by Wikipedia Motto of the day You may have noticed that some of the mottos recently have been followed by a date from 2006 or on occasion simply Wikipedia the free encyclopedia The reason for this is that Motto of the day is in some very serious need of help Participation in the project which has never been especially high has dropped considerably over this past summer to the point we have had several days where no motto was scheduled to appear at all Over the past several weeks I ve been the only editor scheduling mottos at all but there aren t enough comments on some of these mottos to justify their use If we do not get some help and soon your daily mottos will stop In order for us to continue updating these templates for you we need your help When you get a chance between your normal editing could you stop by our nominations page and leave a few comments on some of the mottos there especially those that do not have any comments yet This works very simply you read a motto decide whether or not you like it and post your opinion just below the motto That s it no experience required just an idea of what you personally like and what you feel reflects Wikipedia and its community If you do have past experience with the project then please close some of the older nominations once they ve got a decent consensus going There are directions on the nominations page on how to do this If you have any questions please let me know or post on the project s talk page I m looking forward to reading your comments on the suggested mottos and any additional suggestions you d like to make Until then happy editing c
