Even though I personally feel that the term is a silly one but it was one of those "scandals" and brought about by one of Momus' blog entries/discussions. Perhaps someone more neutral in POV should cover it as it did gain him some notoriety in certain circles.
The caption may be from Momus' own page, but on Wikipedia there's a difference between use and mention. It would be appropriate to place the text in the article, in quotation marks, with an explanation of the source; that is, it's OK to mention it. By making it the caption of the photo, however, it looks as though Wikipedia is describing Momus in that way — that we're using that language. If you want, you could insert it in the article in that way, or I could do it (I had thought of doing it, but it seemed kinder to him to leave it out).

"Other Momus activities include writing for Wired.com [1]" Actually, Momus was sacked from Wired earlier this year. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.120.96.47 ( talk) 13:12, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
Momus was sued for his song about Wendy Carlos and had to settle out of court. This is referenced on Wendy's wiki page but not here, seems like an oversight.
Just to note that the musical biography reads as if he stopped producing albums in 1999 but, as the discography shows, he kept a prolific output up til the present day. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.224.132.177 ( talk) 11:51, 19 July 2011 (UTC)
