[edit] Weasal Words
The comparison to degrassi section has some weasal words that need to be cleaned up such as some would say and something that has been complained about time and time again. These don't cite any sources for the complaint and need to be fixed SirGrant 00:44, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
I agree. This section is vague and poorly written as well. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.211.138.223 (talk • contribs) .
[edit] section 3, character bios, Sean Miller
The term "reverse racist" in the description of Sean Miller is problematic. It suggests that it is somehow normal/ expected/ appropriate to have racist feelings against some people--typically people of color and/or recent immigrants--and that to have racist feelings against white people is somehow "reversed." It is not right for anyone to be racist against any group, is it?
If anyone judges anyone else on the basis of race or ethnicity, he or she is a racist. In other words, anyone can be racist, and the term "reverse" should not be used.
Therefore, the sentence should read, "He sometimes wonders if Sean is racist" or "He sometimes wonders if Sean is racist about white people" if more specificity is necessary. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.211.138.223 (talk • contribs) .
[edit] section 3, character bios, Spencer and Clay Carlin
I can't access the source link for the spoilers regarding the fates of these two characters after the finale of season 2. I Googled the article but couldn't find the actual text of it anywhere. So, as far as I can tell, those spoilers are totally unsourced...

[edit] External Links
The external links section was getting way out of hand so I deleted most of the links yesterday. Before adding anything back in, please take a look at the policy for external links. We should have one, notable fan site at most, but we should strive to only include a couple official sites. All the links I deleted were fan-sites and none of them were particularly notable. To get into specifics:
- Anything in any language other than English was deleted (there were SIX of them! [1][2][3][4][5][6]) because we are on the English wiki article. Take them to the wiki sites dealing with their specific language if they must be included.
- AfterEllen doesn't contain much substance with regard to the show (just some random interviews and pictures) and the site's priority is not South of Nowhere.
- South of Nowhere online.com is almost 100% for fan fic which is 100% not acceptable for Wikipedia.
- Spashley.net is a forum based around only two characters in the show where one must actually join to see any messages. Also, very not notable according to Alexa.
After this, I'm going to add the linkspam warning for the external links section. If you really want a site to be included, bring it up here first and gain consensus from other editors or it's going to get automatically deleted. Thank you. --pIrish 14:17, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
