[edit] Removing uncited stuff.

I removed a bit today. I am wondering though if I ought to remove the DU-glossary stuff. It does add character to the article, but unless reference to DU itself is the source, how can we cite this? I have looked several times and found no real press or book mention of these things anywhere. PLEASE somebody step up to the plate on this? Thanks! (And if you can find RS cites for anything I removed, please feel free to put it back - but DO NOT put it back uncited. I will not edit-war here.) --BenBurch (talk) 18:54, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

Citing DU itself is acceptable in this instance, because we can cite it in the DU article. It's on that basis that we can cite to DU rules. The glossary does add to the article. I think it should stay. JamesMLane t c 01:43, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
