Hello, I hope you are well. My name is Pi and i am an adoptee of Dev920, i asked her a query about bots and she advised me to ask you about it. I've been looking into making a bot as i have a few ideas of automated functions i'd like done. I have (i think) good enough programming experience to make the thing but despite reading the articles on bots i am still a little confused about the rules, however i would love the experience and it's something i've wanted to do for a while. Before i request bot approval am i allowed to either use the software to make edits simply to test the code or idealy let it loose to think for itself, provided it was confined to my own userspace? I haven't been able to find this out from the wikipedia pages and wondered if you could help. :)
Good luck with your RFA too :D
Thanks in advance xxx Pi 17:27, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

And I actually got blocked for reverting on that article. :-( Jeffpw 15:40, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
Hi - I just wanted to answer your request for clarification. Although, with a week's hindsight, it all seems like a waste of vital energy now. :) I objected to "openly" because I don't believe that Jonsi refers to himself with this word. My evidence for this is the Sigur Ros FAQ (which I believe was written by Jonsi and his bandmates), in which he simply calls himself "gay". Yes, there are plenty of sources (some even linked on the band's website) that refer to him otherwise, (e.g. "openly gay") but I believe that the Manual of Style overrules these other sources, since they aren't his own words. Obviously, Jonsi is gay, obviously he's open about it, and obviously (I hope!) you realize that I want people to know that he's gay. I've spent a great deal of time adding "gay" back into the article after anonymous editors removed this word, or replaced it with the essentialist and (IMHO problematic) term "a homosexual".
Those are the grounds, from a Wiki-rules standpoint, on which I objected to "openly gay" vs. gay. Now, on a personal standpoint, I object to the term "openly" because, like some other editors have noted, it suggests that being gay is shameful and something to hide. As a gay man, I object to the use of the term "openly" because I believe it is heteronormative. This is clearly a matter of debate, and I was very surprised that there are gay people who didn't agree with me! I'm guilty of assuming that this logic was self-evident, and I apologize if I didn't make this clearer earlier.
Now, I may be incorrect that "openly gay" is heteronormative, but I still think that the MOS compels us to use Jonsi's own description. If the FAQ isn't Jonsi's own words, then I have no case at all. I also want to concede that my block was justified on the grounds of 3RR. However, I really, really hope that you no longer think that my edits were vandalism, because I've spent so much time on Wikipedia fixing vandalism, that this accusation does sting a bit. I also want to say that I *desperately* wanted someone to engage with me on the MOS#Identity claim, because while I fully acknowledge that I may be interpreting this rule incorrectly, no one (to date) has ever discussed this with me. I'm still unfamiliar with the many rules of Wikipedia and please understand that, from my perspective it seems that, for every rule, there's another rule that can be used to argue the opposite perspective. And it may be that I just don't understand the rules! But, for the life of me, I find it so hard to get people to explain these rules...they just throw out a link to them in an argument and don't explain how they apply. It comes off as if they're just trying to stifle debate, and consequently I've left Wikipedia feeling very awful on more than one occasion.
Sorry for carrying on so long. Ultimately, this does seem very petty, but I felt (and still do) that I was working, in good faith, to a) discuss the changes to everyone's satisfaction and b) to improve the article in accordance with best practices.

What kinds of medications may help OCD?
The majority of the drugs that help OCD are classified as antidepressants. It is important to note that depression results from the disability produced by OCD. Doctors can treat both the OCD and depression with the same medication.
There are also a number of disorders that are possibly related to OCD, such as compulsive gambling and sexual behaviors, trichotillomania, body dysmorphic disorder, compulsive eating, nail biting and compulsive spending. There is evidence that the medications and behavior therapies discussed in this pamphlet will help some of these patients. But more research is needed in this area to give firm recommendations.
I wasn't even aware there was a new admin school. It seems a little, well, outdated. A typical protection time is more like 5 days to a week, increasing to 2 if if gets worse. Office actions refer to WP:OFFICE, and it use to be User:Danny's job, but I have no idea who does it now or if there's been any Office Actions in the past couple months. An Office Action is just someone from the office (probably someone from the WMF now) protecting a page because someone called in about an article and the article violated a policy (usually BLP or COI), so they usually usually stub and protect it. The protection summary will always say "office action" or something similar or link to WP:OFFICE. We just don't touch those ones. Indefinite move protection is common, and by indefinite I just mean without an expiry date set.
The page about excessively long semiprotected articles is here. It lists them by date protected from oldest to newest. Usually what you do when looking to unprotect a page is first look through the page history to see if it's worth it to unprotect (if it's semiprotected and still getting lots of vandalism, then it's usually not worth it). Check the protection reason, because another thing you've got to watch out for is OTRS (Open Ticket Request System). It's like a level under office kind of, and it has restricted access on meta. I don't have access to OTRS, so usually when I come across something like that I just ask the protecting admin if the issues been cleared up, and if it has they usually unprotect it themselves. If you're seeing protection summaries like "random annon vandalism" or "mass vandalism", don't worry about it. Protection summaries are sometimes exaggerated.
The best way to learn is to just jump right in. WP:RFPP sometimes has a couple pages that need looking at. You might want to add User:Steel359/protection.js to your monobook.js too. It's got some quick pre-loaded responses for RFPP, and a couple pre-set values for actual protection pages, and can help remove protection tags when unprotecting (unless they're the really old ones).

==Reviews-News coverage Naresh Sonee & Brhmaand Pujan== .
In India, though there are countless lengthy articles , reviews & news in newspapers on Naresh Sonee or his Sacred Scripture Brhmaand Pujan , Among those one of the largest circulating National Hindi Newspaper '''Punjab Kesari''' reviews on Wednesday 29, December, 1999, On it’s page 6 writes- Below review is translated from Hindi to English -
BRHMAAND PUJAN BOOK REVIEW -The Creator ‘Brhmaand’ which means the Universe, It’s tiny child earth and all microscopic people on it, including each and every living or non beings on it , To know them, should not only be the intention or aim of human or mankind. However, If you need to reach ‘Some Thing’ or you need /seek some thing from ‘Some One’. The seeker has to truly think and be familiar with the write way ‘Exact Knowledge’ and experience to find /reach/approach that ‘Some One’ . To know ‘Some One’ and to reach or be familiar with ‘Some One’ are two different things. In such issues, Human are still innocent and ignorant . They are not shown the right way due to their ego clashes of religions. They can’t concentrate or find the right way to reach/approach the ‘One God’. Who is ‘Some One’. Proper, true way and means including ‘transparently true prayers and outspoken encounters’ are required to reach that ‘One Almighty’ and that what Naresh Sonee Sohum Sutra has succeeded to show the ‘unwise human’ through his Brhmaand Pujan –{Universal Prayer}. And so the desperate seekers who need to get wise or want to reach God or want some thing from Him should certainly read Brhmaand Pujan. On reading the same, one get totally mesmerizing ly involved and engrossed in Godly thoughts, thereafter becoming tensionless, fearless and happy indeed. The author has taken an oath to use and distribute the income from this book for helping needy poor.

I am not here to spread hatred in world. Regarding the lines you object 'contraversial poet' - 'aroused reaction' on my page etc . Some editor must have changed my original script. Genuinely I have nothing to do with all that. If you check my first day page,of Dec 2007. My original lines says-
Naresh Sonee Sohum Sutra is an Indian poet-author born on 11th February 1958 in Phagwara- Punjab . He is a commerce college drop out. At the age of four he and his three sisters along with his parents shifted their base to Mumbai . His father was a small time ‘wrist watch parts’ business man. Naresh Sonee enjoyed an in built quality of scribbling rhymes since the age of eleven. He writes in his country language Hindi as well as English . -'
Some editors must had done changes of words, sentences for the sake of improvement. such change and added contraversial line 'aroused reaction etc... were not put by me.If you can check with your tools , check it out.I am innocent. Those are not my line. Any way I will re put to original line. But 'You all Dear' please also guide how can one keep constant tract on it done pages reading, verfying them time & again. You too will agree , It is not possible for me to guard my page every hour. if some new editor add such line innocently or ignorantly to improve the compostion. What can I do? Pls help me all of you. In due course I also fear that rigid religious or LGBT group/individual can also jump / interfere with my page to play mischief in editing in the name of improving or cleaning up. So guide me the right way as you all are all expert. Save rescue me please. Sincere Request-Alan Sun--- 203.192.228.98 ( talk) 09:48, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
Seriously unimpressed. Adding gay and lesbian is utterly redundant, grr.
On another note, can you create a design for me please? I'm helping organise a carnival for the Amnesty "Love is a Human Right" Campaign, and they want a logo of a heart with raindow feathered wings, sort of like this, but not so grainy. Would it be possible for you to put together three versions - one plain heart with rainbow wings, one with a candle on it somehere, and one with the heart surrounded by Amnesty barbed wire? I figured after the carnival were done we could use them as a WP:LGBT specific icon, like the purple hearts and things we're using now when our members get bashed around. What do you reckon? I'll do anything for you... :) Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 12:36, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

Could you enlighten me a bit, please? You removed the copyvio tag on Krishna Raghavendra with the comment that it's not a significant copyvio. It seems to me that the last paragraph of the source was lifted word for word, with about three or four additional phrases added. I'm certainly not an expert on copyvio, but the text as it stands today is the same as the text from when it was speedied as a copyvio in 2006. Are you thinking that the additional phrases make it okay, even without a rewrite? (I'm not trying to argue for a reversal here, I'm trying to learn.)

How is The Patch Bay not eligible for speedying? When I speedied it, it had one link that didn't work (which still doesn't work), and the two others point towards itself.

We are a non-for-profit living history museum...and I was merely trying to flesh out the links on the "Fort Worth" wikipedia entry (you'll see Log Cabin Village linked under "Parks District") I did use info from our web site...but only because it's the easiest and most readable comprehensive history of the site we have (we've been around over 40 years).

Many thanks for indescriminantly removing Migvan from the Wikipedia encyclopedia, without first putting up notice that more information might be required. Migvan is one of four Urban Kibbutzim in Israel - it is significant because Migvan, along with Tamuz (which is still on the Wikipedia site), Bet Israel and Reshit, are special examples of how the communal landscape of Israel is changing. An Urban kibbutz is a unique element of Israeli society, and a new reaction to the economic forces which caused the privatization of several kibbutzim. Please do not claim again, the right to remove valid contributions to Wikipedia made by others - there is a process - utilize it. Many thanks for your cooperation. StevenBirnam [User_Talk:StevenBirnam|StevenBirnam]] 13:15, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for the feedback, SatyrTN. Would like to know why you considered that the article had no redeeming value. I know User:SZAgassi, and talked with him - he thought, as I did, that since there is a list of kibbutzim, any and all kibbutzim should be enteed on the list, and once entered, a story should be told - neither of us are sure what redeeming value must be associated with the fact that an organization was established, and exists (or existed). In light of your comments, I have actually reentered the articla and created a Talk page, hopefully providing enough information for redemption of Migvan and the three other urban kibbutzim. BTW: no offence taken - it's just that there are so many individuals accessing pages, and making changes or erasing pages, with little or no consideration of the contribution being made by the author - in this case, User:SZAgassi did not put spam on the page, nor did he violate any copyright rule - he started to add information regarding an organization which, in the historical and social context, is extremely relevent to Israeli society and communal organizations.

Hi. I note that you deleted the above article as patent nonsense and wonder if you perhaps overlooked the history of the article? It dates back to July of 2006, with nearly a hundred edits, and before today seems to have been a relatively competent (if not particularly exciting) article about a multiplatform videogame. I'm not sure if this was a mistake, but I thought I'd check and see. :) -- Moonriddengirl (talk) 01:59, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
Hello Satyr TN!
I noticed that some time ago you removed the semiprotection for Maine South High School. I do realize that it had been up for a long time. The page is starting to get hit with some pretty bad vandalism again. Is it possible to restore the semi-protection? Any help/suggestions on this matter would be welcome. Peace!

Please read the literary criticism and significance section. The subplot is about opera queendom. I've added a reference from Wayne Koestenbaum, there will be more to come from Eve Sedgwick and Eric Haralson I think. I tried to make the summary sound neutral but really it is a key gay pre-text used in Queer Theory...I also didn't tag A Gold Slipper, but Wayne suggests there is also a gay subplot there, as Mr Kann keeps the slipper.

Hi - I noticed this redaction from the Talk:Anal sex page of Anal sex. I really don't like the idea of censoring talk pages, even if the comments are WP:OR (which the redacted content obviously is), and even though the subject matter may be controversial, unless it's a serious personal attack or copyvio. And especially since no reason was given. I was going to do an AGF rollback, but decided to check first, as it really isn't time critical since it isn't part of an ongoing discussion. Thoughts? — Becksguy ( talk) 20:50, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

Hello, I hope you are well. My name is Pi and i am an adoptee of Dev920, i asked her a query about bots and she advised me to ask you about it. I've been looking into making a bot as i have a few ideas of automated functions i'd like done. I have (i think) good enough programming experience to make the thing but despite reading the articles on bots i am still a little confused about the rules, however i would love the experience and it's something i've wanted to do for a while. Before i request bot approval am i allowed to either use the software to make edits simply to test the code or idealy let it loose to think for itself, provided it was confined to my own userspace? I haven't been able to find this out from the wikipedia pages and wondered if you could help. :)
Good luck with your RFA too :D

Hi - I just wanted to answer your request for clarification. Although, with a week's hindsight, it all seems like a waste of vital energy now. :) I objected to "openly" because I don't believe that Jonsi refers to himself with this word. My evidence for this is the Sigur Ros FAQ (which I believe was written by Jonsi and his bandmates), in which he simply calls himself "gay". Yes, there are plenty of sources (some even linked on the band's website) that refer to him otherwise, (e.g. "openly gay") but I believe that the Manual of Style overrules these other sources, since they aren't his own words. Obviously, Jonsi is gay, obviously he's open about it, and obviously (I hope!) you realize that I want people to know that he's gay. I've spent a great deal of time adding "gay" back into the article after anonymous editors removed this word, or replaced it with the essentialist and (IMHO problematic) term "a homosexual".
Those are the grounds, from a Wiki-rules standpoint, on which I objected to "openly gay" vs. gay. Now, on a personal standpoint, I object to the term "openly" because, like some other editors have noted, it suggests that being gay is shameful and something to hide. As a gay man, I object to the use of the term "openly" because I believe it is heteronormative. This is clearly a matter of debate, and I was very surprised that there are gay people who didn't agree with me! I'm guilty of assuming that this logic was self-evident, and I apologize if I didn't make this clearer earlier.
Now, I may be incorrect that "openly gay" is heteronormative, but I still think that the MOS compels us to use Jonsi's own description. If the FAQ isn't Jonsi's own words, then I have no case at all. I also want to concede that my block was justified on the grounds of 3RR. However, I really, really hope that you no longer think that my edits were vandalism, because I've spent so much time on Wikipedia fixing vandalism, that this accusation does sting a bit. I also want to say that I *desperately* wanted someone to engage with me on the MOS#Identity claim, because while I fully acknowledge that I may be interpreting this rule incorrectly, no one (to date) has ever discussed this with me. I'm still unfamiliar with the many rules of Wikipedia and please understand that, from my perspective it seems that, for every rule, there's another rule that can be used to argue the opposite perspective. And it may be that I just don't understand the rules! But, for the life of me, I find it so hard to get people to explain these rules...they just throw out a link to them in an argument and don't explain how they apply. It comes off as if they're just trying to stifle debate, and consequently I've left Wikipedia feeling very awful on more than one occasion.
Sorry for carrying on so long. Ultimately, this does seem very petty, but I felt (and still do) that I was working, in good faith, to a) discuss the changes to everyone's satisfaction and b) to improve the article in accordance with best practices.

What kinds of medications may help OCD?
The majority of the drugs that help OCD are classified as antidepressants. It is important to note that depression results from the disability produced by OCD. Doctors can treat both the OCD and depression with the same medication.
There are also a number of disorders that are possibly related to OCD, such as compulsive gambling and sexual behaviors, trichotillomania, body dysmorphic disorder, compulsive eating, nail biting and compulsive spending. There is evidence that the medications and behavior therapies discussed in this pamphlet will help some of these patients. But more research is needed in this area to give firm recommendations.
I wasn't even aware there was a new admin school. It seems a little, well, outdated. A typical protection time is more like 5 days to a week, increasing to 2 if if gets worse. Office actions refer to WP:OFFICE, and it use to be User:Danny's job, but I have no idea who does it now or if there's been any Office Actions in the past couple months. An Office Action is just someone from the office (probably someone from the WMF now) protecting a page because someone called in about an article and the article violated a policy (usually BLP or COI), so they usually usually stub and protect it. The protection summary will always say "office action" or something similar or link to WP:OFFICE. We just don't touch those ones. Indefinite move protection is common, and by indefinite I just mean without an expiry date set.
The page about excessively long semiprotected articles is here. It lists them by date protected from oldest to newest. Usually what you do when looking to unprotect a page is first look through the page history to see if it's worth it to unprotect (if it's semiprotected and still getting lots of vandalism, then it's usually not worth it). Check the protection reason, because another thing you've got to watch out for is OTRS (Open Ticket Request System). It's like a level under office kind of, and it has restricted access on meta. I don't have access to OTRS, so usually when I come across something like that I just ask the protecting admin if the issues been cleared up, and if it has they usually unprotect it themselves. If you're seeing protection summaries like "random annon vandalism" or "mass vandalism", don't worry about it. Protection summaries are sometimes exaggerated.
The best way to learn is to just jump right in. WP:RFPP sometimes has a couple pages that need looking at. You might want to add User:Steel359/protection.js to your monobook.js too. It's got some quick pre-loaded responses for RFPP, and a couple pre-set values for actual protection pages, and can help remove protection tags when unprotecting (unless they're the really old ones).

==Reviews-News coverage Naresh Sonee & Brhmaand Pujan== .
In India, though there are countless lengthy articles , reviews & news in newspapers on Naresh Sonee or his Sacred Scripture Brhmaand Pujan , Among those one of the largest circulating National Hindi Newspaper '''Punjab Kesari''' reviews on Wednesday 29, December, 1999, On it’s page 6 writes- Below review is translated from Hindi to English -
BRHMAAND PUJAN BOOK REVIEW -The Creator ‘Brhmaand’ which means the Universe, It’s tiny child earth and all microscopic people on it, including each and every living or non beings on it , To know them, should not only be the intention or aim of human or mankind. However, If you need to reach ‘Some Thing’ or you need /seek some thing from ‘Some One’. The seeker has to truly think and be familiar with the write way ‘Exact Knowledge’ and experience to find /reach/approach that ‘Some One’ . To know ‘Some One’ and to reach or be familiar with ‘Some One’ are two different things. In such issues, Human are still innocent and ignorant . They are not shown the right way due to their ego clashes of religions. They can’t concentrate or find the right way to reach/approach the ‘One God’. Who is ‘Some One’. Proper, true way and means including ‘transparently true prayers and outspoken encounters’ are required to reach that ‘One Almighty’ and that what Naresh Sonee Sohum Sutra has succeeded to show the ‘unwise human’ through his Brhmaand Pujan –{Universal Prayer}. And so the desperate seekers who need to get wise or want to reach God or want some thing from Him should certainly read Brhmaand Pujan. On reading the same, one get totally mesmerizing ly involved and engrossed in Godly thoughts, thereafter becoming tensionless, fearless and happy indeed. The author has taken an oath to use and distribute the income from this book for helping needy poor.

Genuinely I have nothing to do with all that. If you check my first day page,of Dec 2007. My original lines says-
Naresh Sonee Sohum Sutra is an Indian poet-author born on 11th February 1958 in Phagwara- Punjab . He is a commerce college drop out. At the age of four he and his three sisters along with his parents shifted their base to Mumbai . His father was a small time ‘wrist watch parts’ business man. Naresh Sonee enjoyed an in built quality of scribbling rhymes since the age of eleven. He writes in his country language Hindi as well as English . -'
Some editors must had done changes of words, sentences for the sake of improvement. such change and added contraversial line 'aroused reaction etc... were not put by me.If you can check with your tools , check it out.I am innocent. Those are not my line. Any way I will re put to original line. But 'You all Dear' please also guide how can one keep constant tract on it done pages reading, verfying them time & again. You too will agree , It is not possible for me to guard my page every hour. if some new editor add such line innocently or ignorantly to improve the compostion. What can I do? Pls help me all of you. In due course I also fear that rigid religious or LGBT group/individual can also jump / interfere with my page to play mischief in editing in the name of improving or cleaning up. So guide me the right way as you all are all expert. Save rescue me please. Sincere Request-Alan Sun--- 203.192.228.98 ( talk) 09:48, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
Seriously unimpressed. Adding gay and lesbian is utterly redundant, grr.
On another note, can you create a design for me please? I'm helping organise a carnival for the Amnesty "Love is a Human Right" Campaign, and they want a logo of a heart with raindow feathered wings, sort of like this, but not so grainy. Would it be possible for you to put together three versions - one plain heart with rainbow wings, one with a candle on it somehere, and one with the heart surrounded by Amnesty barbed wire? I figured after the carnival were done we could use them as a WP:LGBT specific icon, like the purple hearts and things we're using now when our members get bashed around. What do you reckon? I'll do anything for you... :) Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 12:36, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

How is The Patch Bay not eligible for speedying? When I speedied it, it had one link that didn't work (which still doesn't work), and the two others point towards itself.

Many thanks for indescriminantly removing Migvan from the Wikipedia encyclopedia, without first putting up notice that more information might be required. Migvan is one of four Urban Kibbutzim in Israel - it is significant because Migvan, along with Tamuz (which is still on the Wikipedia site), Bet Israel and Reshit, are special examples of how the communal landscape of Israel is changing. An Urban kibbutz is a unique element of Israeli society, and a new reaction to the economic forces which caused the privatization of several kibbutzim. Please do not claim again, the right to remove valid contributions to Wikipedia made by others - there is a process - utilize it. Many thanks for your cooperation.

Thanks for the feedback, SatyrTN. Would like to know why you considered that the article had no redeeming value. I know User:SZAgassi, and talked with him - he thought, as I did, that since there is a list of kibbutzim, any and all kibbutzim should be enteed on the list, and once entered, a story should be told - neither of us are sure what redeeming value must be associated with the fact that an organization was established, and exists (or existed). In light of your comments, I have actually reentered the articla and created a Talk page, hopefully providing enough information for redemption of Migvan and the three other urban kibbutzim. BTW: no offence taken - it's just that there are so many individuals accessing pages, and making changes or erasing pages, with little or no consideration of the contribution being made by the author - in this case, User:SZAgassi did not put spam on the page, nor did he violate any copyright rule - he started to add information regarding an organization which, in the historical and social context, is extremely relevent to Israeli society and communal organizations. Thanks, again for your response, and have a great 2008[User_Talk:StevenBirnam|StevenBirnam]] 16:01, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
Hiya, a quick heads up: I restored Wing chun magazine to User:Cripken08/Wing chun magazine after the user came to me asking why I deleted it the second time (since he recreated it with '.') Anyway, he said he could work on it to bring it up to WP:WEB so I figured, "why not?" :P Anyway, I figured I'd toss something your way in case you were interested. Cheers =) -- slakr\ talk / 07:02, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
Hi. I got your message, and I'll be happy to start putting in more sources for the articles. I also have no idea what the poster above you on my talk page meant. Maybe s/he was referring to the userbox that mentions that my Chinese Zodiac sign is a dog. Who knows?

I appeal to you to review your deletion of Advanced Energy Research Organization. I do not believe your action is justified. __ meco ( talk) 23:33, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

Hi. I note that you deleted the above article as patent nonsense and wonder if you perhaps overlooked the history of the article? It dates back to July of 2006, with nearly a hundred edits, and before today seems to have been a relatively competent (if not particularly exciting) article about a multiplatform videogame. I'm not sure if this was a mistake, but I thought I'd check and see. :) -- Moonriddengirl (talk) 01:59, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
Hello Satyr TN!
I noticed that some time ago you removed the semiprotection for Maine South High School. I do realize that it had been up for a long time. The page is starting to get hit with some pretty bad vandalism again. Is it possible to restore the semi-protection? Any help/suggestions on this matter would be welcome. Peace!

Please read the literary criticism and significance section. The subplot is about opera queendom. I've added a reference from Wayne Koestenbaum, there will be more to come from Eve Sedgwick and Eric Haralson I think. I tried to make the summary sound neutral but really it is a key gay pre-text used in Queer Theory...I also didn't tag A Gold Slipper, but Wayne suggests there is also a gay subplot there, as Mr Kann keeps the slipper.

Hi - I noticed this redaction from the Talk:Anal sex page of Anal sex. I really don't like the idea of censoring talk pages, even if the comments are WP:OR (which the redacted content obviously is), and even though the subject matter may be controversial, unless it's a serious personal attack or copyvio. And especially since no reason was given. I was going to do an AGF rollback, but decided to check first, as it really isn't time critical since it isn't part of an ongoing discussion. Thoughts? — Becksguy ( talk) 20:50, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
I'm not sure that the content was redacted due to OR issues, I think someone didn't like the particular subject matter. I don't either, but if it's germane, so be it. Thanks. — Becksguy ( talk) 04:44, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

It has serious POV issues. It only has a lead and it looks like an ad. I realize it doesn't qualify exactly for CSD but whether or not it's expanded (and that means a substantial rewrite, no?) right now it isn't very encyclopedic. What should be done? -- Menti fisto 15:03, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
