Bedroom genocide (T-H-L-K-D), written by a sockpuppeting troll, MCVerstappen and sourced to the racist gadfly Martin H. Millard. The non-working links to Wikisource and Commons are a nice touch.

That's one type of article you get when you let anyone write an "encyclopedia"!

Don't forget this oldie but goodie.
The present article is remarkably different. How odd. angry.gif

Comment you really think there is no reason to oppose when, outside wiki, he has used terms
like "porch monkey" and demonstrated a blatant homophobia? Conservative political beliefs are
one thing, but outright bigotry is not a desirable trait in a position that requires neutrality and
tolerance. VanTucky (talk) 15:41, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Well, it's outside the wiki right?--Hirohisat Talk 06:41, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

Behold, Wikipedia at its Most Glorious.

Hmmm, racist articles and uploading a picture of model Supavadee Phangkaew with bogus information? Sounds like someone that trolls here...

I assumed the description as a personal photo was bogus, but on second thought there's no reason that it couldn't be true.

And on a third, or fourth, thought, how comes a personal photo is not Original Research?

That's actually an RfA I wish I hadn't supported. Yes, I supported it then, but had it occured today, I would oppose. I don't even remember why I even supported it in the first place.

Out of curiosity, why is it no surprise to you that I supported it?
