replies: text: your link is now dead, but i found another, and sure enough (duh), a media source quotes the phrase, so ill add it. this is sort of dictionary definition stuff, or "brewers phrase and fable" sourcing, but thats ok. maybe someone will transwiki it to wiktionary one day.(mercurywoodrose)76.232.10.199 (talk) 06:08, 4 September 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  July 24th 2008 - Boy Bites Dog In Brazil 

message: The second section of the piece is just a list of real-life examples of a person biting a dog.  I don't think it contributes anything to the article; I'd go so far as to say it's not relevant. 155.212.205.238 (talk) 22:45, 12 April 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I deleted all of the examples that were not examples of man bites dog in journalism. I also deleted the irrelevant "See also" section. I left the examples of man biting dog in journalism as, well, the article is about man bites dog in journalism. Ronald Joe Record (talk) 23:10, 13 April 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree, the list should only show events where the phrase is quoted, and should NOT be a repository for every actual "man bites dog" occurrence (which, thanks to our friend alcohol, is actually not that uncommon). I would say its better to use incidents that are NOT literally "man bites dog", as the headline sort of has to use the phrase, whereas other unusual events dont. (i added a "man bites snake" story where reports did, of course, reference the adage)(mercurywoodrose)76.232.10.199 (talk) 06:05, 4 September 2011 (UTC)
