[edit] Comment

I think the page should be expanded to indicate that it might be particularly objectionable to have WP:DICK cited at you if you happen to be a female. I'm not female myself, but just saying. John Carter 18:41, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

Nice thought... if the article survives MfD I'll certainly include it. --Dweller 22:47, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

Well seeing as how you did not include it, I took the liberty of doing it myself. You can expand upon it as you wish; it's your essay.--WaltCip 03:15, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Name?

A like the shortcut, but this should be moved to a better Name then Wikipedia:MOBY, it is not a descriptive title. — xaosflux ^Talk 14:04, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

The page itself was originally at WP:MOBY (yes, the whole page). The current location is the page creator (Dweller)'s requested not-in-article-space title. Having said that, as the person who originally moved it out of article space, I'm not personally attached to the title; I'd support any title that's uncontroversial, reflects the intent of the essay, and obviously relates to the shortcut. — Gavia immer (talk) 14:29, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

Just decapitalise it - Wikipedia:Moby seems fine. Walton^One 09:10, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

This is Poisoning the whale, isn't it? We don't seem to have a WP:WELL (or indeed WP:WHALE). -- !! ?? 17:49, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

No thanks - it was (is) deliberately capitalised, to counterpoint the shouty (let's add that to its list of sins) WP:DICK. And as the counterpoint redirected shortcut is WP:MOBY this should be too. --Dweller 20:19, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
