Googling - Take the time, dude.[edit]

Please do not add nonsense to Wikipedia, as you did to National penis day. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you. NawlinWiki 20:59, 21 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Why did you delete The National Penis Day article? It is an actual New Zealand holiday! Do some research before you go around deleting articles and accusing people of vandalism. seriously. (this unsigned comment was posted by User: Nick_Scratch )

If you have reliable sources showing the existence of this holiday (see Wikipedia:Verifiability), have at it. Otherwise, please don't waste everyone's time. NawlinWiki 21:14, 21 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not accuse new people who are trying to help of adding nonsense to Wikipedia, as you did to National penis day. It is considered a violation of WP:AGF. If you would like to verify suspect articles, use the Google to confirm if your suspicion is correct, and then if it turns out you were wrong, improve the article. Thank you. --John Kenneth Fisher 21:24, 21 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

WP:AGF does not mean Wikipedia:Check your brain at the door. If someone creates an article with a title as stupid as National penis day, I'd say it's up to them to provide at least one source. See Wikipedia:Verifiability. NawlinWiki 21:25, 21 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Honestly? I don't disagree - he should have. But "nonsense" is a pretty loaded term to use and stick someone with when a two second Google search will show that, good article or no, it was clearly NOT a nonsensical one by any definition. You owe Nick_Scratch an apology. --John Kenneth Fisher 21:31, 21 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hate to say, but I looked National Penis Day up on Google and it's definitely real. WmCliff 19:53, 1 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes it is. And as far as I know, Nick_Scratch is still waiting for his well-deserved apology. --John Kenneth Fisher 14:48, 3 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Did Nick_Scratch ever get his apology? Seems its the adult thing to do to admit when one is wrong when they jump to conclusions and declare someone guilty of "vandalism," "adding nonsense," "wasting everyone's time," instead of, you know, 4 seconds of due diligence. The right thing to do is to apologize to Nick_Sctatch on the same user page you insulted him on. It isn't always this easy to do the right thing, so why not try it? You might even like it. --John Kenneth Fisher 06:34, 12 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fine. I apologize for calling it vandalism. I stand by the article deletion -- the sources indicate it isn't a real holiday, but a promotional stunt by a public health group. NawlinWiki 23:29, 2 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
