message: This is the excerpt from Vergil, Book IV of The Aeneid (174-188). In my opinion, it deserves to be added to the article.
:Rumor, than whom no evil thing is faster:
:Speed is her life; each step augments her strength.
:Small, a shiver, at first, she soon rears high.
:She walks aground; her head hides in the clouds.
:Men say that Earth, in fury at the gods,
:Bore this last child, a sister to the Giants.
:She is swift of foot and nimble on the wing,
:A horror, misshapen, huge. Beneath each feather
:There lies a sleepless eye (wonder to tell!),
:And a tongue, and speaking lips, and ears erect.
:By night she flies far over the shadowed world
:Gibbering; sleep never comes to rest her eyes.
:By day she sits at the watch high on a roof
:Or lofty tower, and terrifies great cities,
:As much a vessel of slander as crier of truth.

replies: text: I think it might be okay to add it. It would be consistant with an encyclopedia's educational purpose.  BTW more needs to be added saying that rumors are often considered to be bad. Borock (talk) 15:45, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

text: I came to this page deliberately to find this passage as one of the earliest musings on rumor as a concept. I think it's extremely relevant, valid, and should be added immediately. Within the text of Virgil, this is a commentary on how rumor works and the destructive force it can have. It's completely in line with the rest of the page's content.

message: Hello. I suggest removing the objections at the top of the page, especially about lack of citations. I have significantly developed them. --Unsigned comment by 83.113.85.204
:I removed the "Noreferences tag" since the article clearly has them, but the other tags are outside my expertise. It would not be wrong to remove the tags yourself if you believe you have met the objections. See WP:Be bold. VMS Mosaic (talk) 17:02, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

message: This article only talks about the psycological science of rumors. Shouldn't it be known more, 
such as the effects on innocent peole (particularly at school)?--Dale S. Satre 21:47, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I think it's too much about politics. Most rumors don't have a political purpose. Borock (talk) 15:43, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
