Profanity (spelling out JMFJ in infobox)

Profanity should be avoided. While it is worth recognizing that Jack Johnson does have a commonly accepted nickname, I've abbreviated it here in line with Wikipedia guidelines. Please do not replace this, or revert said change without discussion and consensus. See also: MF for justification of my reasoning.

Other more "acceptable" nicknames that may be acquired during his career the NHL level can easily be added later. Bsharkey 10:39, 26 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia is not censored. The fact that you are uncomfortable with what you deem to be "swearing" does not mean that everyone is uncomfortable with it OR that it should be excluded. -- —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.236.136.206 (talk) 01:13, September 29, 2011

No, but it does have guidelines, which you either weren't aware of, or you ignored them. I'm guessing it's the former. -- Gmatsuda (talk) 19:48, 1 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
