No merge! Bad idea! Bad idea!

Unlike many articles on the WP, Calvin and Hobbes is long and detailed. After it became a Featured Article, it attracted a considerable amount of "cruft": because everybody loves C&H, everyone who saw the article added a sentence on their favorite strip. The article survived Featured Article Removal and remains an FA today in large part because several editors agreed to trim the cruft down to size. We moved the more "encyclopedic" material—the information which was good but peripheral—to sub-articles like this. In particular, this page allows us to collect evidence which establishes C&H's cultural impact, without cluttering the main article.

I should also note that items added here are likely to be original research or at least subject to interpretation and debate. Therefore, it is appropriate that we keep them separate from the main article, which (being an FA) we should hold to very high standards indeed.

[edit] What about window stickers?

Perhaps the most pervasive and most annoying reference to Calvin in America today is the window decals showing Calvin peeing on a car logo... should this be discussed? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Dharris (talk • contribs) .

Yes, that's true. I said that. Dharris 21:45, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Rule #34

I forget, which webcomic did the infamous "Rule #34" of the Internet(There is porn of it, no exceptions) picture? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by SAMAS (talk • contribs) .

You mean this picture: <removed link to attack site>? Wikipedia used to have an article that mentioned the source; it's still available at Answers.com here: [1]. The AfD for the Wikipedia article is here: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Rules of the Internet. Powers 13:36, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
