Judge Judy Parodies

• To be an inclusive article, I have repeatedly added reference to a Judge Judge parody from Comedy Centrals' series The Man Show. Yet, each and everytime I post it User by the name of Meshach keeps deleting it. As a parody of the show, this should be included along with all other parodies, Meshach's reverts constitute vandalism as I am able to cite my sources and provide references (via the form of video links). I would like the opinion's of other editors before I move forward in a dispute resolution with an administrator. Many thanks!--XLR8TION 16:44, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

YouTube really isn't a reliable source, and considering the lengths some YT users go in order to attract pageviews added:a link to one might be considered spam. But otherwise you make a good argument: If those other parodies are listed, then this one should be too. Since I absolutely hate these pointless "In popular culture" sections, I therefore cut the whole thing. She's often parodied. Yes, we get it. There's no need to list as many as anyone can think of. It's of no interest to anyone but the people who add them. TCC (talk) (contribs) 19:05, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

If you said that all parodies should be included then why are you deleting the entire list. That doesn't make a lot of sense?--XLR8TION 02:06, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

Sorry to have shifted your post, but this is going to be impossible to follow if we don't put each new post below the one we're replying to, which is what's normally done on talk pages. We also usually indent one level for each reply until it gets indented so far there's not enough room for text.

I didn't say that all parodies should be included. I said that if several are included, then there's no good reason to exclude the one you wanted to add. A much better alternative is to avoid the whole question by including none at all. As I said, these "In popular culture" sections are totally useless.

I have been removing the YouTube video references. YouTube is not a reliable source (see WP:YOUTUBE. I would rather see all parodies removed, they really do not add anything to the article. meshach 19:31, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

The site allows YouTube links. What are you talking about that they are not reliable? YouTube is one of the most visited websites in the world and many of its' video show visual proof.--XLR8TION 19:38, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

See WP:EL#Restrictions on linking. The link target here is a copyright violation. And a list of parodies adds nothing to the article regardless. TCC (talk) (contribs) 22:23, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

Nothing but actual content. Let's keep that down! 208.111.233.208 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.111.233.208 (talk) 07:44, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

Revert

My edit comment linked to the wrong policy. It should have been WP:BLP. Not all of it was actually unsourced, but there was an awful lot of it, and it seemed to dwell disproportionately on certain incidents. TCC (talk) (contribs) 05:33, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

Csernica, don't revert all that information because a couple things weren't sourced. The majority of it was. It was obviously an outrageous revert and your edit summary was uncivil. I hope you re-examine your borderline disrespectful behavior and I'm sure I'm not the only one that feels this way. I see up above where someone else, who had a similar problem with you, wrotes this: If you said that all parodies should be included then why are you deleting the entire list. That doesn't make a lot of sense? Tratare 06:29, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

He didn't have a similar "problem". He didn't write most of the text I deleted at that time. There's a large problem in general at Misplaced Pages with bloated sections like that, and you'll find I'm not the only one getting rid of them. They're usually nothing more than insertions of mentions of a particular show or band by a fan, into articles where they would otherwise be irrelevant.

You really do need to fix the tone, and much of this material doesn't add more in the way of information than was already there. We don't put people's ages in article bodies since those change and we can't expect it will be kept accurate. (This can be done automatically in infoboxes.) Her height is immaterial to an article about her show -- in fact, most of this stuff really belongs at Judith Sheindlin to the extent it belongs here at all. We need to keep articles properly focused or they become unreadable, disorganized rambles. TCC (talk) (contribs) 07:02, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

I have responded to Csernica on his talk page where I think the rest of this discussion should be anyway Tratare 08:32, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

ebay scammer

remember the eBay scammer from 2/6/07? that should be added to the moments list. 64.91.201.195 22:17, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Good idea. That case got so popular. I don't see that you've added it, so I will. Tratare 00:27, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

Sorry! That was a portion of the article (I know the article was better than it ever was before since I have started to edit it) that was bitched about below and by some fuck named Rainbow. It goes :) Tratare 08:13, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

Massive grammatical problems

The proliferation of commas in this article is out of hand. It reads like it's written by an illiterate. Please, stop putting, so many comma,s, all, over. Learn to write. 153.104.14.64 16:58, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

I had this article looking sweet. Oh well, can't handle complainers like you. Massive grammatical problems? lmao! I aced every English class I ever took. You probably say it reads like an illiterate because you're used to reading and writing like one and its become so normal to you, that you don't understand when you come past professional writing. Anyway, the way you complain is obnoxious. Your humor is anal. Humor is supposed to be funny. Not anal. Article reverted anyway, now shut up about it. :) Tratare 08:02, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

general tone of the article

The tone of this article isn't very... Wikipediaish.

"Both the plaintiff and the defendant receive $100 for their appearance, as well as $35 a day, paid to them by the show as well. In addition to that, it's a free all expense paid vacation for litigants and any of their witnesses that tag along, as the show pays for their flight out to Los Angeles, California. The show also pays for their stay at a hotel. It's a no-lose situation for both litigants, with the exception of possible public humiliation administered by Judge Judy. "

Is it really Misplaced Pages's job to decide what is win-win and no-lose? 64.191.189.254 04:05, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

It's gone now! Shut up about it! Wikipediash--These are the types of words used by the people who are trying to correct an English A+ student like my self. Bunch of idiots! Tratare 07:52, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
