  • Oppose as kind of a 'cult reference.' (But I get it!). —ScouterSig 16:13, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Oppose Star Trek is not a cult. :-P I'm actually opposing this for a different reason, that being you can change policies and so forth if consensus about them changes. And Jimbo, as part of the Wikimedia Office, does have the authority to override consensus if need be. See WP:CON. I do like the motto (see my user page) but I just don't think it fits.

  • Comment, why not create four edits of one motto? Answer: because when the people that close mottoes come to a decision, it's impossible to decide because users support one version, and when new versions are made, nobody pays attention to them.

In the film, it talks about the discrimination/conflicts between black and white players, and the plot reveals us that for working together despite those differences, they succeed in most of the matches.

    • Comment. Hi. Um, is it really appropriate to have a billion strong supports? I mean, if it were typed out that many times, it would take about 15 Gigabytes. So, does this make much difference from a strong support? I heard you're only supposed to vote once, so isn't this cheating? I mean, what if someone put "Extreme infinite support x 1x10"? Wouldn't that be cheating, if say, there were many opposes, then if it were infinite, that one vote would cause all other votes to be obsolete? So, would it be more appropriate if you put "very strong support"? Thanks. -- AstroHurricane001(T+C+U) 17:44, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
