Talk:Urla (slang)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Problems with article

I guess this page needs to be deleted or drastically changed, for it's pretty much equivalent to having an article with the title "Kike" that would go like this: Kike is a typical word that White englishmen use to address jews. The typical characterists of a kike include: a bent nose, etc. (then you add a picture with several jews and write there: kikes waiting to have their butts kicked in). The article is offensive without doubt.

But without this article You will not know who where those persons who took Your wallet, cellphone and beat Your nose ;)

This article should be moved to Uncyclopedia. :) CannibalSmith 22:36, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

I tried to change it, but it still lacks sources, as my only expertise on the subject is the fact that I am Latvian. Probably some resaerch has been done by anthropologists, sociologists and linguists, but I'm not aware of it and can't cite it. I justs changed the wording to make the article sound more realistic and point out that the subject of it is the stereotipical term rather than some real phenomenon known as "urlas".

85.234.172.209 changed the article to it's old offensive version. I changed it back, but I guess someone will attack it again very soon.

Oh just COME ON! How is this anything scientific? --159.148.192.241 19:47, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cleaned up

I changed the name to reflect the article better; mproved the language and organization; removed some point of view; and added citation requests. I agree that there are many problems with this article - and that it needs references - but if it is a genuine subculture that exists, then it is worth documenting on Wikipedia.
