[edit] To the anonymous user who reverted the tags back

All three tags are, according to Wikipedia guidelines, supposed to include explanations on the talk page. That did not happen here. I haven't been here long, but in the time I have, I have seen many instances where someone comes along and throws some tags up on a page then vanishes without explanation. Often those tags stay up for weeks or even months as the real editors of the page are hesitant to do what's obviously right and just take them out. This detracts from the overall quality of wikipedia as a whole by effectively vandalizing articles in a way that no-one recognizes as vandalism.

If you believe any of those tags are justified I encourage you to state your reasons and engage in a discussion about it. Otherwise I suggest you stop vandalizing this page by reverting tags which were baseless to begin with. Mystylplx 21:03, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

Additional note: Personally I'm not sure this is an encyclopedia length article. There's probably not enough to the topic of acidhead to justify an encyclopedia entry. Probably this is something that should go in wiktionary rather than wikipedia. Even so, none of the three tags that had been placed on it without explanation were accurate. The "cleanup" tag was accurate at one point, but had been fixed even before I cleaned it up some more. The point remains--placing tags on articles without first discussing on the talk page is, IMO, an insidious form of vandalism. This is not the way these tags were intended to be used....

I don't know what country you're from, but in the one I live in a consensus consists of more than one person. 65.95.124.5 23:05, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
In my country a consensus consists of everyone participating in the discussion. So now that you're participating in the discussion can you justify those tags?
BTW, where is the rule that says you need consensus to remove tags? I couldn't find that. But I did find where it says these things should be discussed on the talk page before adding the tags... Mystylplx 02:47, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Crime stub != NPOV

Though illegal in most countries, its biased to call acidheads criminals. Manufacture, distribution and possession of LSD may be illegal in most places nowadays, but it has not always been, and I seriously doubt personal consumption is a criminal offence worldwide. Labeling 'acidheads' criminals just because you have a bias against drugs or they're illegal in your country is sheer ignorance and not NPOV Bitplane 19:34, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

Done; removed that crime tag. MichaelSHoffman 05:26, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
