Yeah, I realize it was referring to a quote in that movie - I probably should have been more clear to the original editor that the reason I reverted it was per ] - "Words and images that would be considered offensive, profane, or obscene by typical Misplaced Pages readers should be used '''if and only if''' their omission would cause the article to be less informative, relevant, or accurate, and '''no equally suitable alternatives are available'''." There were plenty of non-profane "band camp" quotes from that film that could have been used as opposed to the vulgar one that was chosen (though I admit that final one was the most memorable). - ] 13:45, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
I play Bully with the subtitles on (not sure why, but I do), and throughout all the game's subtitles, Derby's name is spelled with an e. So, if it's a typo, it's a ''very'' persistent one. --] 01:58, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

Thank you, Vercalos, for letting me know what you had done and why you had done it. I normally would not have done so --- but there is that huge section, right above, about all the commotion about those who CLAIM that a game will Bully will actually CAUSE more cases like Columbine. It is highly relevant to find out that the kind of people who play violent video games are not the kind who outwardly express violence. It shows that the game possibly provides sublimation for pent up emotions, but doesn't incite a desire to act out.

Hello, Vercalos,
:That's a tricky one. There's been a great deal of controversy over such subpages, in the past, but some people don't think they're a big deal. If you do create one, probably best to avoid linking or mentioning it too often. Or you can find an off-wiki way to accomplish the same thing; personally, I have a folder of bookmarks I call "checkers," and periodically I just use Firefox's "load all bookmarks in folder in tabs" feature to check them all (user contribs, page histories, whatever I think will come in handy). I guess the easy answer here is something to the effect of "keep a low profile about it."

Re: Bully (video game)

Yeah, I realize it was referring to a quote in that movie - I probably should have been more clear to the original editor that the reason I reverted it was per WP:Profanity - "Words and images that would be considered offensive, profane, or obscene by typical Misplaced Pages readers should be used if and only if their omission would cause the article to be less informative, relevant, or accurate, and no equally suitable alternatives are available." There were plenty of non-profane "band camp" quotes from that film that could have been used as opposed to the vulgar one that was chosen (though I admit that final one was the most memorable). - RJASE1 13:45, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
