[edit] Armed Robber Nickname

A man claiming to be a wanted armed robber seems to decided to go by the nickname "preved," possibly in reference to the phenomenon discussed in the article. See Mercury News article (via Center Daily). My inclination is that it is not sufficiently notable for inclusion into the article, but I thought I would bring it here to see what other people thought. --TeaDrinker 20:59, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

Although hilarious, I don't think that is a major enough news story to make it into here. Maybe if he strikes again. eae 00:57, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 'Aftar'

In Padonki's slang it's correctly written as 'afftar' (with two 'f'). Correct, please. And... Where's the picture itself?

UPD: And, by the way, the modified drawing first appeared on a russian collective blog dirty.ru. Could you, please, mention this one too?

UPD2: Ah, yes. 'Afftar' can be written with one 'f' too. Looks like there's no 'canonic' spelling for this word among Padonki.

I strongly doubt the picture itself is public domain, although it's displayed on the russian version of this article. As for dirty.ru, I'm not sure it's important to the article or to the phenomenon that the picture first appeared on one blog vs. somewhere else, but the concern is, how do you prove it? And by the way, it's a good idea to sign your comments with ~~~~. eae 00:57, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WRBW, WRBS

What is WRBW and WRBS? I don't think that the article refers to radio stations of those names. --Amir E. Aharoni 18:17, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

I rewrote the explanation of the conventions, in large part because WRBW and WRBS are not standard terms. eae 00:57, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
