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.

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. -- A stroHurricane00 1 (T+C+U) 17:44, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
