The motto is supposed to use the false statement, the unlinked one, and put a fact tag beside it, to make it so that it looks like citations are so often required, even this statement requires a citation.

 * Comment: I think "Behold" was intended to link to something other than furniture polish, but I must say I am still a bit confused. Pending an explanation, I'm leaning towards oppose. This probably is the first time someone has tried to use furniture polish in a motto, however. Hersfold (talk/work) 17:35, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Reply. Hi. L.m.a.o. The thing is, I usually don't check the links to see what they point to. I didn't know what you meant by furniture polish, until I clicked the link...<font size=" ∞∞ ">LOL! . What I meant by "behold" was not furniture polish! I just meant the word behold. The reason for this is, according to The Roman Mysteries, "En" was latin for behold. So, the motto would then mean, "Behold! Wikipedia!", a pun off en.wikipedia. If this isn't clear enough, please replace the arrow with a better link. Thanks. ~ A H  1 (TCU) 17:50, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Reply to reply - Ha ha, I was wondering what kind of reaction that was going to get. I took the liberty, then, of redirecting your link to Wiktionary and the entry on "Behold" there.
