Partial protection?[edit]

Is it time to protect this article against editing by anons? For some reason (can anyone enlighten me?) someone keeps inserting the word "horny". This has been going on for months, and it's getting tedious. SNALWIBMA ( talk - contribs ) 18:02, 21 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it's bizarre isn't it. Semi-protection seems like the sensible solution. SP-KP (talk) 18:08, 21 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
It has been going on for almost three years. The earliest instance of this specific vandalism occurred in May 2007! SNALWIBMA ( talk - contribs ) 18:33, 21 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
OK, request now added. SP-KP (talk) 10:22, 22 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Am I missing the joke? Would the anonymous person who keeps doing it please take me aside and explain to me why it's funny to insert the word "horny" into this article? It has just been done again. SNALWIBMA ( talk - contribs ) 06:44, 29 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The joke is that is isn't a joke! Have you ever seen these little buggers? They are! It is an inside joke and is in some other pages and some other sites. Bets are made on how long some will go undetected. One inserted word, not 'horny' in this case, but just as bizarre, has been undetected on wiki for over three years, and that is really funny! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.130.118.95 (talk) 02:53, 17 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Well, now it won't show even if you try it again. GedUK  11:46, 17 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
