What's a lexilink? -- Smerdis of Tlön 03:18, 29 Sep 2003 (UTC)

I imagine it is a link to a lexicon, so it is to an encyclopedia. --Martin S 07:56, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Donaldson was not Raddick

I know the real identity of Henry Raddick and while I can't reveal the info, I can tell you that it wasn't Donaldson.

I won't edit the page because I have no legit source other than my word, and it will just end in a nediting war in which I have no desire to be involved, but what I say is fact.

[edit] Requested move

Hoax letter writers → List of spoof letter writers — "List" should be added as this is primarily a list of names, rather than an article about the writers. Secondly, "spoof" is a more accurate and more frequently used term to describe this topic. "Hoax letter writers" implies malicious intent. "Spoof" is less ambiguous as it's clearly humourous. Googling "Hoax letter" confirms this: virtually all the results refer to criminal or terrorist hoax letters. Saikokira 01:59, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

  1. Weak oppose. I don't like the word "spoof" here. To me that term would imply that the list consists of imitations, rather than pranks. I know that's not the only definition of "spoof", but I believe it to be the most common. I agree with changing the title to reflect that this is a list. Dekimasuよ! 12:54, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
