This page has been Transwikied to Wiktionary. The transwiki process is complete.

[edit] If it was transwikied, then why is it still here?

I am not being snarky, I just am asking because I don't understand. Both WT and WP have entries named "fashion police", and WP's is lengthier and more detailed (as one would expect in general with WT-WP sister entries). Did subsequent edits to WP:Fashion_police defeat the purpose of the transwiki effort? Or is it OK to grow a new entry where an earlier incarnation had been transwikied?

I have no idea how this process actually works, but it seems to me that it would make sense that just because a word or phrase gets defined at WT does not make a WP article about the concept superfluous... for example, listing, say, gypsum at WT doesn't mean WP shouldn't still have an article about its mining and manufacturing. -- Akb4 23:25, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] cites needed

There used to be a bunch of folks who came to the Disclave SF convention in Maryland in the early 90s and did a fashion police schtick, issuing citations that looked like traffic tickets with a bunch of check boxes listing such offenses as "having it and flaunting it" and "flaunting it without having it". I can't document this, so I won't add it to the article. It's possible that someone with old convention newsletters or zines or meeting minutes could provide documentation. -- Akb4 23:25, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
