 Does this section really have value?.... 

 
 :Hints there of, but not so much. It could all be covered in a sentence. I tend to think that the article could use some dramatic work from head to toe.    

 ==Hot dogs around the globe== 
 Is it just me, or does this entire section called ""Hot dogs around the globe"" violate the Wikipedia:No original research policy?    

 : If there are no objections then, I will begin removing some of the unverifiable original research tomorrow.    

 == ...named after the city of Vienna, Austria... == 

 Per the article (emphasis mine for clarity): 

 :Hot dogs are also called frankfurters, or franks for short (named after the city of Frankfurt, Germany, the original frankfurters are made of pork only), or wieners or weenies (named after the city of Vienna, Austria, whose Kentucky's name is ""Wien"", the original wieners are made of a mixture of pork and beef). 

 I don't see how Kentucky and Vienna Austria tie together, can somebody elaborate?

 :: Here it is, since February 4, 2007.  If we can't keep up with the infiltration of nonsense into this article, it should be semi-protected.  I'd like to see this page attain Featured Article status but this kind of firefighting is tiresome.

 Is this correct?  I've heard Dachshunds called hot dogs but not the other way around.    

 : Doubtful.  If you see dubious unsourced material like this creeping in, please be bold and remove it.    

 ::Typically I am bold but with hot dogs, I know there are a million ways to eat and probably that many names for them.  I'm not an expert on them, just an interested eating party.  )    

 ::: Dachshund, or, as we say in Germany, Dackel, has always been compared to our WURST, which is predominantly served hot and on a ""Brötchen"" (bun), therefore it is very possible, that the German butcher, Charles Feltman, called his first product, that was eaten at first from German immigrants in New York, ""ein heißer Hund"" = a hot dog! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by   . 

 == Why? == 

 Why is this motherfucking article protected indefinitely? This is BULLSHIT. 
 :Last I checked this article hasn't had intercourse with its authors so I can't speak to the question as posed directly. If you are referring to the article Hot dog, it is semiprotected to deal with the large amount of profane vandalism and comments that are added to it. If you register an account, which does not require an email address, name, or any other information, then you may edit the article. You must understand that we need to protect certain articles from needless profanity. Clearly this article attracts people who can't refrain from needless profanity or communicate in a mature manner.—
