[edit] Schizophrenia article mediation

There is now a mediation case regarding the schizophrenia article that you may want to look at. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Mediation_Cabal/Cases/schizophrenia#Discussion DPeterson^talk 01:34, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for the heads-up, I've already left a note outlining some history regarding the dispute on the mediation page[1]. At this stage I'm happy to let the current discussion run its course; an admin may have to step in if Mihai continues blanking the section. --Muchness 02:12, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WP:AIV

Thanks for reporting that vandal, they were on quite a spree - the admin rollback tool is very handy! Viridae^Talk 03:23, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

No problem :) --Muchness 03:29, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Come versus Come (sexual)

Hello. Regarding this edit: when disambiguating a term, it's preferable to include all potentially ambiguous entries on the one page, to help people find the desired article quickly and easily. The only exception to this is that long lists of human names should be split to a separate term (name) term (surname) and/or term (given name) page. More info is available at Wikipedia:Disambiguation and Wikipedia:Manual of Style (disambiguation pages). Thanks and welcome. --Muchness 11:09, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

The sexual connotations of "come" are (a) slang, and (b) potential obsenities. If anything they should be transwikied to wiktionary. Don't you think? FEastman 00:32, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

The fact that they're potentially obscene isn't a reason to remove them – Wikipedia is not censored. The target articles are legitimate encyclopedic articles, and the terms are synonyms; per MoS:D, linking to synonyms from a disambiguation page is appropriate. --Muchness 01:40, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

That's good and fine, the fact remains that they are slang. Slang should be transwikied to wiktionary. FEastman 14:22, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

The sexual terms are included on the dab page to clarify different meanings of the ambiguous word by providing links to relevant target articles, in accordance with MoS:D guidelines and item 2 of Wikipedia is not a dictionary ("There are, however, disambiguation pages consisting of pointers to other pages; these are used to clarify differing meanings of a word"). If you feel that disambiguation pages should not list slang synonyms, the best places to propose this amendment are on the talk pages of the aforementioned guideline and policy pages. If you feel that any article should be transwikied, you can tag it with the {{copy to Wiktionary}} template. --Muchness 15:40, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hen Fap

I wish to enquire about the origins of this term. I've heard it attributed to many people, mainly the rapper Kanye West. Could you help me out? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 86.31.52.60 (talk • contribs) 01:09, 12 December 2006.

"Hen fap" was a joke originating from an article in The Onion: [2]; [3]. One or more posters on a message board hosted by the ilx servers attempted to turn "hen fap" into a meme on the ilx boards. Since then, one or more posters (yourself included) have tried to spread the would-be meme to various other places on the web, including Wikipedia via serial vandalism. --Muchness 04:59, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
