Instructions for submitting

Any user, registered or anonymous, is welcome to submit a new motto. Requirements to the candidates:

• Make sure to read through the list of approved mottos to avoid submiting identical mottos
• Short; it's a motto, not an essay
• Funny or serious; but nevertheless, interesting
• Powerful; should provoke a reaction, draw attention, not just another blah blah
• Not offensive or inflamatory, such nominations can be removed on sight.
• Tip: avoid obscure and complicated words that not everyone will understand. Remember, a lot of non-English speakers read Wikipedia.

You are not required to sign your suggestions.

Instructions for approving

Please express your opinion about the mottos. Based on your input the overseer will put the motto into the approved or rejected list. If you have suggestions how to make the system better, please bring it up to the talk page. Thank you!
