Revision as of 16:12, 10 June 2011

Welcome!

Hello, Borock, and welcome to Misplaced Pages! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

• The five pillars of Misplaced Pages
• Tutorial
• How to edit a page
• How to write a great article
• Manual of Style

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on discussion pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Misplaced Pages:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question and then place {{helpme}} before the question on your talk page. Again, welcome! -- lucasbfr 17:15, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

Henry Makow

Did you change the entry on Henry Makow? You were saying that most of the sources are from his own work. This is correct, so you have removed them. The one source you also removed was the cited source from the Southern Poverty Law Center indicating that he wrote and article describing Jews as a cancer... Also there was the entry from the Toronto Daily Newspaper.. about Henry Makow... also echoing his conspiracy view theory of the world. I am wondering why you removed these quotes from established sources....? I mean you wouldn't remove a source such as Amnesty International? So why pull the quote from the Southern Poverty Law Centre? Canadaman1 (talk) 02:16, 25 November 2010 (UTC)

Re: Clinton

Hi, I am guessing you are talking about this, as you can see it is reverted already. Thanks for notifying us! (If I missed an other "joke", please accept my apologies!) If you need further help, please don't hesitate to post on my talk page or to put {{helpme}} followed by your question on this page. -- lucasbfr 17:14, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

Thanks. Borock (talk) 00:18, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

Hi Borock!!!

You appear to be new here, welcome! I like your edits.

At Insight magazine, I went ahead and reverted a recent minor edit of yours, please note that I am not necessarily in disagreement with your edit, but there is a precarious balance among editors in a heated debate over precise words. The propagation of the story is an important aspect. Happy to have you join the discussion (the page needs you, trust me), but allow me to suggest that you visit the talk pages of articles that might be contentious, and look for this tag.

The subject of this article is controversial and content may be in dispute. When updating the article, be bold, but not reckless. Feel free to try to improve the article, but don't take it personally if your changes are reversed; instead, come here to the talk page to discuss them. Content must be written from a neutral point of view. Include citations when adding content and consider tagging or removing unsourced information.

If you see it, it's probably good to review the discussion and discuss changes before making them, especially if you are new to the page. Again, I think you made a good edit there, but in the current state...let's discuss. See you at the Insight talk page!!!! WNDL42 (talk) 13:50, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Thanks. My changes to the page were very minor. Borock (talk) 13:57, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Redirects

Hi Borock! I have redirected Obamacon to Obama Republican. If in the future, you need to redirect a page to an article just use the format #REDIRECT Your article here Cheers, —dima/talk/ 18:16, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

AfD

I've nominated Obama Republican and McCain Democrat for deletion. Northwestgnome (talk) 18:17, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

Article nominated for deletion

I've just nominated List of United States journalism scandals for deletion. I don't see the point of two articles giving the same information. Redddogg (talk) 19:37, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Devils 22.gif)

Thanks for uploading Image:Devils 22.gif. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Misplaced Pages under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Misplaced Pages. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Misplaced Pages (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Misplaced Pages page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:17, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

Notability template

I've reverted your addition of {{Notability}} to John McCain lobbyist controversy, February 2008. The article currently has 29 different sources, so seems to have met the requirements requested by the template. If you have questions about the lasting notability of the article, it is probably best covered in an AFD than the application of a template. --Bobblehead 06:50, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

Okay. Borock (talk) 09:15, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

AfD

Hi Borock. You might be interested in this AfD: Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Young Jin Moon. Redddogg (talk) 17:33, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

AfD nomination

Hi Borock. Please see: Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/List of Unificationists. Thanks. Steve Dufour (talk) 19:33, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Nadya Suleman

Since you commented the article in it's first AfD, it has since come under a second AfD. I was wondering if you'd like to comment on this one as well: Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Nadya Suleman (2nd nomination). Thanks! — raeky  03:14, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

Possible deletion?

Hi Borock. I'm considering nominating Hak Ja Han for deletion. Would you like to discuss the issue on the article's talk page? Redddogg (talk) 15:23, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

Hak Ja Han

I do not disagree with your changes - but just be careful please when making changes to the lede - it appears you accidentally merged pieces of sentences together which created factual and chronological inaccuracies. No worries, I fixed it but leaved out the stuff from the lede you had objected to. Cheers, Cirt (talk) 17:29, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

Let's please not have one-sentence-long paragraphs. Cirt (talk) 18:27, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

In this case there was a change of subject. Borock (talk) 04:35, 28 March 2009 (UTC)

Help with an article related to Unification Church ?

You seem to have a significant interest in articles relating to the topic Unification Church. A longer term project of mine is to eventually improve the quality of the article about the multiple award-winning film Ticket to Heaven. Care to collaborate with me on this project, perhaps specifically research and expansion of the Reception subsection? On a side note, do you know of other examples of notable instances of media/film/fiction etc. that have focused on this topic in popular culture? If articles do not yet exist yet on these subjects I may think about doing some extra research and then writing them myself. Cheers, Cirt (talk) 20:21, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

You might check out Mao II. As far as I know it's the most famous use of the UC in fiction. Borock (talk) 23:58, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

Thanks, I will check it out. Cirt (talk) 00:30, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

There's also a documentary from a couple years ago, "My Big Fat Moonie Wedding". That could be worth checking out. Borock (talk) 05:08, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

Hrm, you think it is notable enough for an article? If so I will do some research on that. Cirt (talk) 06:52, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

I was able to find quite a few reviews.Borock (talk) 11:08, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

I started the article: My Big Fat Moonie Wedding Borock (talk) 11:55, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

It looks like it was redirected very quickly after you started it :( . That is why it is generally a good idea to do a large amount of research and compile as many sources as you can first, before starting a new article in a controversial subject. I will do some research, but not sure if I will find enough discussion in sources to satisfy WP:NOTE - will keep you posted. Cirt (talk) 16:52, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

Well, live and learn I guess. The person who redirected it didn't even notify me.Borock (talk) 17:54, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, that certainly would have been a nice courtesy to have extended to you... Cirt (talk) 15:21, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Unification Church political views

An article that you have been involved in editing, Unification Church political views, has been listed for deletion. If you are interested in the deletion discussion, please participate by adding your comments at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Unification Church political views. Thank you.

Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. Steve Dufour (talk) 12:10, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

Citation templates

When you add new citations to Hak Ja Han, can you please format them using the templates at WP:CIT? Thank you, Cirt (talk) 06:27, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

No problem. Borock (talk) 17:21, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

Thanks very much. :) Cirt (talk) 17:41, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

Michelle Leslie

Rather than just say an article is "trash", why not offer specific reasons for your assessment and suggestions for improvement. Indeed, you could actually help improve the article. As they stand, your comments are not very helpful. Suggest you respond at Talk:Michelle Leslie.--Merbabu (talk) 05:29, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

I presume you are aware of the WP:3RR rule. --Merbabu (talk) 06:01, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

It actually doesn't apply in living persons cases. I put a notice on the BLP board. Borock (talk) 06:03, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

Hi. I appreciate you feel strongly about this article, but implying that other editors are perverts from whom you need armed protection, are personal attacks. Please comment only on contributions rather than contributors, and avoid attributing motives like these to others. Changes to the article would require consensus, which is unlikely to be achieved if discussion descends to personal abuse. Euryalus (talk) 07:29, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

April 2009

Welcome to Misplaced Pages. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed content from Michelle Leslie. When removing text, please specify a reason in the edit summary and discuss edits that are likely to be controversial on the article's talk page. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the text has been restored, as you can see from the page history. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Eugene Krabs (talk) 05:52, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

Please see the discussion on talk page. Borock (talk) 05:54, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Michelle Leslie. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. Eugene Krabs (talk) 06:07, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

I've nominated the article for deletion. Borock (talk) 06:16, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

Hope you two get this resolved. Good luck. - Eugene Krabs (talk) 06:17, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

I'm not planning on doing anything more with this article since I see that some good cops are on the case. :-) Borock (talk) 17:20, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

WP:NOT

If it weren't for WP:BEANS, I'd want to add to WP:NOT your bit about "WP is not a conspiracy starting service" :-) Nyttend (talk) 02:34, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

May 2009

Hello. It appears that you have been canvassing—leaving messages on others' talk pages to notify them of an ongoing community decision, debate, or vote—in order to influence Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Frederick Sontag. While friendly notices are allowed, they should be limited and nonpartisan in distribution and should reflect a neutral point of view. Please do not post notices which are indiscriminately cross-posted, which espouse a certain point of view or side of a debate, or which are selectively sent only to those who are believed to hold the same opinion as you. Remember to respect Misplaced Pages's principle of consensus-building by allowing decisions to reflect the prevailing opinion among the community at large. --Avant-garde a clue-hexaChord 20:58, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

Yes. But I was contacting people who might know or be interested in the subject of the article. I have no way of knowing how they will vote. Borock (talk) 22:07, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

From the message you left on my talk page, I'd tend to agree with your comment. I took a look at the AfD and I shall watch it with interest but I'm not getting involved just yet! I made a few edits to the college's page because I happened to stumble across it and it had references and links all over the place and seemed very POV in places so I tidied it up. I don't know anything about the subject, though the heads up is appreciated- lurking at controversial AfDs is something of a hobby! Regards, HJMitchell You rang? 22:43, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

I probably did go a little overboard in letting people know. :-) Borock (talk) 23:42, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

Yes... You are going overboard on these things... You left a message on my page in April 2009 regarding a AfD process that finished, FINISHED in 2006!!! The verdict was KEEP... Please leave well enough alone. Thanks Emyth (talk) 00:10, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

RE: AfD

Hi Borock, i'm not a main contributer to that article. I've only reverted vandalism to the article using Huggle. Thanks anyway! Have a nice day John Sloan @ 11:32, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

Dorothy King

Notability tags do not "deface the article"... You did not have a valid reason to remove the tag, and your claim that the tag is not needed otherwise it should be up for AFD is nonsense, as otherwise there'd be no reason to ever use the notability tag. If you want to remove it, edit the article to demonstrate notability by Misplaced Pages standards, just like it says. DreamGuy (talk) 16:36, 20 June 2009 (UTC)

There are a number of secondary sources cited in the article, including major newspapers in the UK. Why don't you want to nominate it for deletion if you think she is so un-notable? Borock (talk) 16:40, 20 June 2009 (UTC)

I've mentioned the dispute at Misplaced Pages:Biographies of living persons/Noticeboard Borock (talk) 17:50, 20 June 2009 (UTC)

Merge

I've just proposed merging Unification Church and antisemitism (which you worked on) into Divine Principle. Please join in the discussion, if you like. Steve Dufour (talk) 15:31, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

Editing survey

Hi Borock. My name is Mike Lyons and I am a doctoral student at Indiana University. I am conducting research on the writing and editing of high traffic “current events” articles on Misplaced Pages. I have noticed in the talk page archives at Barack Obama that you have contributed to the editing or maintenance of the article. I was hoping you would agree to fill out a brief survey about your experience. This study aims to help expand our thinking about collaborative knowledge production. Believe me I share your likely disdain for surveys but your participation would be immensely helpful in making the study a success. A link to the survey is included below.

Link to the survey: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=P6r2MmP9rbFMuDigYielAQ_3d_3d

Thanks and best regards, Mike Lyons lyonspen | (talk) 21:29, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

Re: Barack Obama - Der schwarze Kennedy

Hi. I notice you assessed Barack Obama - Der schwarze Kennedy as a B-Class article in May. This article does not meet the bare minimum requirements for B-class, and is barely above a Stub-class. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions. Viriditas (talk) 11:50, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

Rename

I suggested renaming Unification Church antisemitism controversy to "Divine Principle antisemitism controversy." Please give you opinion on the talk page if you like.Steve Dufour (talk) 18:59, 6 September 2009 (UTC)

True Family

Hi there. I wanted to wait until the afd was closed before mentioning this. The Unification Church's structure is similar to the structure of the Catholic Church. As you probably know, the Catholic Church has many "in-house" terms: words which express concepts which are unique to it, or which have a special meaning in their theology and practices.

The Unification Church, even though it is extremely tiny in comparison, seems to have attracted a lot of attention; it's a significant topic, and that's why the article has lasted for at least 7 years at Misplaced Pages. Much of the special terminology of the Unification Church is poorly understood outside the church, and it is likely that there are many readers of Misplaced Pages who would like to understand these terms better.

Examples include True Children, True Family, and "indemnity". Perhaps you can help flesh out these articles. --Uncle Ed (talk) 12:39, 20 September 2009 (UTC)

Thanks. I have been trying to improve/add some more information to articles on the UC. I think it's important that people have an honest understanding of each other, not just that we believe what the newspapers say.Borock (talk) 15:24, 20 September 2009 (UTC)

Moonie AfD

The article has undergone a significant rewrite and expansion since you commented in the AfD. Perhaps you could take another look at the article and revisit Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Moonies? Thank you for your time, Cirt (talk) 06:47, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

I'm impressed by the amount of work you have done to improve the article. However I still think it fails Misplaced Pages:Misplaced Pages is not a dictionary. "Moonie" is a fairly minor neologism which will probably have not a whole lot of lasting importance. Borock (talk) 15:57, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

The article describes its history and usage, including commentary from scholarly sources. It is not purely a "dicdef" article. Thus, it is encyclopedic and wholly appropriate. Cirt (talk) 16:57, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

The same kind of article could be written about any word, if someone were to put the work into it that you have. Borock (talk) 17:26, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

I don't think that could be said about any word, but I thank you for your kind comments about the work that I have put into the article. :) Cheers, Cirt (talk) 17:35, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

Here is the Google search for "any word" . See, 17,000 hits. More than enough for a WP article. :-) Borock (talk) 17:39, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

Like I said, feel free to improve the articles at Category:Terminology. Cirt (talk) 17:46, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

Your recent comments

Please, exercise some WP:AGF and try to be more polite - some of your recent comments seem inappropriate. For example with this , then followed by this - it seems as if you are attempting to make fun of the tremendous amount of work that I have put into this article. Cirt (talk) 17:51, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

No. My objection to the article is based on WP policy, especially WP:Notable, and has nothing to do with your work. It's the subject of the article that is not notable. Borock (talk) 04:01, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

I am not commenting about the fact that you object to the article's existence despite the massive amount of work that I have put into it, that is your right and that is fine. I am objecting to the nature and tone of your comments here and here . Cirt (talk) 04:03, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

What I said is true, but I had no intention of offending you or anyone else. You are a hard worker, but work alone will not make an unencyclopedic topic encyclopedic. Borock (talk) 04:07, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

You nominated the article for AfD. The AfD discussion will run its course and determine whether or not the article is deleted. Let's keep the notability discussion there, and not keep posting about it on the article's talk page. Thanks. Cirt (talk) 04:08, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

Not a dictionary

In Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Moonies. Do people really not understand WP:Not a dictionary? Or were they being a bit dishonest/don't want to deal with it? Northwestgnome (talk) 05:27, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

I think people's brains don't all work the same. Something like that might honestly mean nothing to some people. If I were to read an essay explaining why Michael Jackson was a good dancer it would be meaningless to me -- although I agree he was, just can't relate verbally on the topic. Borock (talk) 05:48, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

Garth Paltridge

First, carefully read the last paragraph in the Content section on the book on the GP page. Then, go to Global warming conspiracy theory and read all the content there. You'll soon see that the See also link is appropo. ► RATEL ◄ 07:00, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

Sorry I missed the mention in the article. Borock (talk) 07:02, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

Moonie (Unification Church)

While it is true that there are other uses for the word, Moonie is a dab page: the only way to get to Moonie (Unification Church) is to follow a link that explicitly refers to it. See WP:NAMB for details. I'll be removing the hatnote again, unless you have any other objections. Chris Cunningham (not at work) - talk 05:08, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

• Moonies redirects to Moonie (Unification Church). Otherwise I guess I don't understand the issues involved. Borock (talk) 05:14, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

  Thanks for pointing that out. I've changed that redirect to point to the dab page just like Moonie does. Chris Cunningham (not at work) - talk 07:40, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

Format cites using WP:CIT

When you add new cites to Moonie (Unification Church), can you please format them correctly using WP:CIT? Thank you, Cirt (talk) 20:33, 1 November 2009 (UTC)

Sorry. I was in a hurry. I hope that didn't cause a problem. Borock (talk) 23:59, 1 November 2009 (UTC)

Sister Vincenza

I have stated the reasons why we should keep this article. Would you mind reviewing the snippets of the notability policy I used and see if you disagree. Although it would not effect my regard for your good intentions, which I believe you are acting on, I would ask if you would withdraw the nom, if you agree with my rationale. If not it's all good, I nominate articles frequently no hard feelings. Hell In A Bucket (talk) 03:51, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

I don't object to WP giving the info on her. I just think this is better done in the article on the conspiracies. Borock (talk) 05:38, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

Well I do thank you for considering it. I think they should both be covered as her invovlement is documented in several newspapers. Either way it can benefit the pedia....Hell In A Bucket (talk) 05:44, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

We include a lot of weird stuff.

This isn't a arguement you can make on a AFD but consider these articles for weird...Boba Phat and Graceland Too Hell In A Bucket (talk) 19:28, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

Those are weird alright. :-) Borock (talk) 19:34, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

Brenda Jean Patrick

Thanks for your vote of confidence. As I mentioned in a reply to Orange Mike, I have seen the results of her work firsthand and heard about it from principals at schools where she has worked.

I certainly can edit the length of the article. I am a former journalist and I added some comments about her opinions to give some "flavor" to the article.

At the time I started this (my first contribution), I didn't quite understand how to make articles fit the Misplaced Pages model.

Captaincorgi (talk) 06:08, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

I have edited the article to remove her views. Information is now based on third party newspaper articles.

You are being notified because you participated in a previous Afd regarding this article, either at Misplaced Pages:Articles_for_deletion/Argentina–Singapore_relations or at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Philippines–Romania relations, and you deserve a chance to weigh in on this article once again. --Cdogsimmons (talk) 23:58, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

Might you care to revisit the AFD discussion about Little Red Riding Hood (Disney)? I believe you'll find that the article and film have been shown to meet WP:NF. Schmidt, 14:24, 6 April 2010 (UTC)

Yes. Thanks. Much better now. Borock (talk) 09:59, 12 April 2010 (UTC)

Lists

Given you comments at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/List of universities with soil science curriculum do you think there is a need to refine policy relating to lists? Cheers. -- Alan Liefting (talk) - 22:05, 28 July 2010 (UTC)

• In general, yes. On the other hand lots of people ignore policy, or even deny that it exists, when it interfers with something they want to see on WP. Maybe what needs tweeking is WP policy on policies. :-) Borock (talk) 09:10, 29 July 2010 (UTC)

You were involved in the old AfD for this article and I request that you leave a comment and your opinion on the question I have raised on the talk page. Thank you for your time. Silverseren 22:26, 22 November 2010 (UTC)

Green Goblin Afd

Hi, Borock. Your humorous post was ironically registered by that page's automatic statistics-keeper as a vote for "Keep," which presumably was not your intent. If not, you may wish to place your authentic view (Keep, Delete, Merge, Redirect) as the boldface first word before beginning the satiric part. You can click on the stat-keeper at the top of the page, just below the beige box with the bird in it, to see how your view registered. With regards, --Tenebrae (talk) 00:17, 24 November 2010 (UTC)

If AfD's are decided by automatic counting of "votes" that would be another reason to follow my suggestions. :-) -Borock (talk) 17:26, 24 November 2010 (UTC)

Actually, as the box says at the top of the page says, AfDs are in fact not decided by votes. The stat-keeper is only one of the many factors used, and is simply a convenience. I'm sorry for any misunderstanding. I simply thought you'd want to be represented accurately. I would say, though, that in terms of encyclopedia policy we're involved in a a serious discussion with long-term implications, so a sarcastic entry is not necessarily constructive or helpful. --Tenebrae (talk) 21:12, 26 November 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for your efforts. However I'm not sure if a "serious discussion" with fans of the Green Goblin is even possible. :-) Borock (talk) 13:51, 4 December 2010 (UTC)

Who's Nailin' Paylin?

"This article unfairly makes it look like we are out to get Ms Palin." No it doesn't. The article makes no claims either way about Palin; it presents the topic neutrally and uses plenty of reliable, third-party sources that do the same. You really should read WP:IDONTLIKEIT before you make another such AFD. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • 12:13, 7 January 2011 (UTC)

There are lots of things I don't like. Borock (talk) 15:30, 7 January 2011 (UTC)

But that doesn't mean they should be deleted just because you don't like them. If we deleted things based on what people didn't like, then I'd have deleted the article on Green Day ages ago. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • 15:34, 7 January 2011 (UTC)

Okay. I'll be more careful. I still think that an article about a porno film making fun of a Democrat wouldn't have survived. Borock (talk) 15:39, 7 January 2011 (UTC)

What matters most is if there are reliable, third party sources. And in this case, there are tons of them; the article's pretty close to good article in fact. We have articles on far more offensive topics that are allowed to stay because they meet the notability guidelines. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • 15:53, 7 January 2011 (UTC)
