  That's understandable - it's one of those ones that only makes sense if you know it. Listening to the sketch may help. — Mr. Stradivarius ^♫ 16:08, 4 May 2011 (UTC)

  Yes but a quote must be able to stand by itself without any "context" clues. Therefore, I'm switching to strong oppose--Tyw7  (☎ Contact me! • Contributions)   → Take up our quarrel with the foe: / To you from failing hands we throw / The torch; be yours to hold it high. 16:50, 4 May 2011 (UTC)

• Oppose - Unfortunately, many people won't get it, because not everyone knows about Monty Python. For that reason alone, we shouldn't use it; I would support it otherwise. ~~ Hi878 ^{(Come shout at me!)} 22:36, 4 May 2011 (UTC)

  • Comment ~ This do not apply to all the people involved in edit wars, but only to those who do not follow Wikipedia's editing policy, and that essay summarises the arguments to avoid in edit wars. –pjoef (talk • contribs) 13:30, 24 April 2011 (UTC)
