Talk:Keystone Kops

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The article explains that the "Keystone Kops" spelling is unauthentic and that "Keystone Cops" was originally correct.

So why is the name of the article, and references to the films in the article, not changed to "Keystone Cops", if this is correct? The "Keystone Kops" spelling should be mentioned as a common misspelling, but the films should not be otherwise referred to as such. -- 89.212.17.91 01:51, 20 November 2006

I agree with the above post. Why is everything referred to with the K-spelling if this is nominally incorrect? Is the term "Keystone Kops" in a dictionary with the K-spelling or something? I will try to remember to revisit this article in a few weeks and change it if no-one presents any kind of counter-argument. 216.154.4.30 23:26, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

And the two anecdotes of people referring to anti-terror policies as "Keystone Cop"-like suggest to me that someone had an ax to grind when including them. I agree that modern citations are useful, but the suspiciousness of these reeks of political agenda. -- 71.115.197.6 12:45, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
