Editors cannot agree which picture is to be used to use describe "Dick". The images in dispute are as follows: [[:image:Peacekeeper missile.jpg]] [[:image:Richard Cheney 2005 official portrait.jpg]] [[:image:Nixon 30-0316a.jpg]]. The missile is considered as a sexual reference, Cheney picture has a [[WP:BLP]] concern as being personal attack. 22:33, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

I support this dick circumcision proposal. -- Cat chi? 23:56, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

errr

  • Deleting images without removing the resulting redlinks, and then claiming you're too busy deleting more images to go back to remove said red links.
You know, there are bot scripts that do that pretty well... (yes it's sure, I own one)

I am removing the pictures

While it is funny to put those there. I am afraid those pictures amount to personal attack against the two US president and VP. While I agree that they are BAD world leader, the context used here is a personal attack. SYSS Mouse (talk) 16:07, 31 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That's why I removed the Dick Cheney picture that was put up recently. I don't know why the missile keeps getting removed. I think it's funny. What's too much about it? WLU (talk) 01:05, 18 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I like the missile too. Perhaps we can take this matter to mediation? Jehochman Talk 05:03, 18 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Hardly neccesary; it's been two removals/restorations. I oppose inclusion of the image. It is neither funny, nor good taste. The other images were funny in my opinion, but it was right to remove them. seresin ( ¡? ) 05:13, 18 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I think it's funny, I'm confused over why it may be in poor taste? Mediation is kinda extreme given it's a humour page. Seresin, did you have another image suggestion? There's always a picture of an actual giant dick (or John Holmes (actor) if we could find him) 'cause wikipedia's not censored :) There used to be a picture of Dick Nixon ([1]) which I found intensely amusing, but it was removed by SYSS Mouse (though Dick Nixon is dead, so there's no BLP issue). It is an obvious humour page, and I think parody is allowed in Florida. No picture makes for a much blander page :( WLU (talk) 15:30, 18 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
After rereading the article and disussion. Please put it back. SYSS Mouse (talk) 17:54, 18 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Great! Done. Tricky Dick has been resurrected. Though it's too bad there's no commons of John Holmes. Think of the caption - a truly giant dick, dicks don't get bigger than this, go hard or go home, ha! WLU (talk) 18:07, 18 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
However, since I am not an American, would you care to inform me of why Dixon is called "Triky Dick"? I also changed the caption to emphasis the Dick term is a political reference. SYSS Mouse (talk) 03:34, 19 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
See Watergate. Did you know that his campaigns used the slogan "They can't lick our Dick!" [2]image (Lick means beat in American English). Jehochman Talk 04:22, 19 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

{undent)FWIW Tricky Dick was an old nickname RMN had because he was slippery, manipulative and generally got what he want by whatever means necessary. It's not really relevant to the page, I just think it's a funny nickname. Anyway, there's ridiculous edit warring over the page, and there's no real need. It's a funny page, it's meant to give a bit of warning to dickish editors. Let's settle on a page that's not going to get anyone in trouble. Richard Nixon is dead. Dick is a short form for Richard Nixon. Richard Nixon was powerful, hence the 'biggest dick in America' comment. It's funny, we can all appreciate the pun, but using Dick Cheney is going to be a magnet for BLP violations, and WAAAAY more attention than a humour page should be attracting.

Agreed: Added to WP:LAME. SYSS Mouse (talk) 16:13, 22 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Passive aggressive essays on wikipedia?

Is there any wiki essays on being passive aggressive? This is the defacto way which editors survive edit wars on Wikipedia. Inclusionist (talk) 03:22, 22 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks REALLY!

This artical is talking about some of the crap people do, and I have to aplade this person for creating this artical. THANKS!!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.78.220.208 (talk) 21:23, 30 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Image Wars

Speaking as the original writer of this page, I don't care whether we have a image of Richard Nixon, a Nuclear Missile, or no image at all. Just so long as Dick Chaney isn't brought up. Thanks, Luc "Somethingorother" French 16:06, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

RFC

Template:RFCpolicy Editors cannot agree which picture is to be used to use describe "Dick". The images in dispute are as follows: image:Peacekeeper missile.jpg image:Richard Cheney 2005 official portrait.jpg image:Nixon 30-0316a.jpg. The missile is considered as a sexual reference, Cheney picture has a WP:BLP concern as being personal attack. 22:33, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

Update WP:LAME

Once the RFC is done, someone must update this entry on WP:LAME. I mean, I know that the picture on a humour page is super important and y'know, stuff. But perhaps an edit war and RFC is slightly excessive. How about a penis-shaped building? I like this:

Now that is a giant dick!

But others might find it excessive. WLU (talk) 20:47, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Frankly, I think if a humor-only page is controversial enough to result in a freaking RfC, the page should just be deleted. I think this page is funny and all, and it may even be a little useful in that it focuses us to think about how more subtle dick-ism can so profoundly harm the project, and that we should take that stuff seriously... but if it's going to cause all this bother, then seriously, screw it... --Jaysweet (talk) 20:50, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
It is only the image which to describe "dick" that is in dispute. The text is not in question.SYSS Mouse (talk) 22:35, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
