Do or die, you'll never make me...

I was listening to The Black Parade the other day, and suddenly this popped into my head. Originally, 'make me' was supposed to link to something about leaving WP permanently, but I could not find one aside from 'Right to leave', which really didn't get across the idea the way I wanted it to. If anybody has a better idea for a link besides WP:VAND, it's done so much. MixItUp 01:19, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

Always assume good faith, and make it easy for others to do the same.

Too often do discussions decay into shouting matches because an editor wants to believe that he's under attack. --Cryptic C62 · Talk 23:56, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

When I write songs, The music comes first. Lyrics are second.

So I've heard many songwriters say this (eg. Julian Casablancas, Kurt Cobain), so I thought it would be good to say the "music" is citing sources and "lyrics" is the contents of the articles. So tell me what you think. Thanks! (SUDUSER)85 13:26, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
