message: "Joke McConnell" was removed as vandalism, but it does have some currency: googles 371 times. Still don't think it should be added to article (lots of people have received lots of childish insults, but hardly notable), but it is perhaps not fair to call its insertion "vandalism". --Mais oui! 12:15, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The reason I marked it as such is because it has been the latest in a series of edits to add precisely that insult at various places in the text. Perhaps the comment is valid and could be under the controversy heading, but not where I believe it has been inserted merely to compromise the page, like ten or so edits in the last week have been equally so.

replies: text: Oh... did not realise part of a "campaign". Perhaps if the campaigner would like to explain their rationale?... but if they have only come here to slander political opponents then they are not welcome. Slander cuts both ways: the Plaid Cymru article has been the target of some unpleasant, transparent "campaigners" recently, much to the discredit of the whole Wikipedia project. If you are a fan of a political party you are far better working to improve the articles related to that party: do not troll around trying to defame opponents - it just makes you look like an idiot, not the target of your campaign. --Mais oui! 17:26, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
