Credit where it's due

This Project is clearly a blatant rip-off of WikiProject New Jersey, which in itself is a blatant rip-off of WikiProject Massachusetts, which, in turn, is a blatant rip-off of WikiProject Vermont, for which the creator of WP:WPDE (as I'm sure the other usurpers, as well) is eternally grateful, yet remoseful all at once.

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. --DThomsen8 (talk) 11:18, 25 September 2009 (UTC)
