129.21.107.119, I appreciate the effort to remove in appropriate sexual slang from Wikipedia articles. However, in this case, the word in question occurred as part of a quotation. I don't think anyone should alter that quotation. The quotation is included because it makes a point in a very unique way, and is particularly well-worded. In some cases, an original quotation could be altered (for example, for tense). But the changed wording would need to be set apart through the use of brackets to indicate to the reader that a word was changed. Additionally, if the word contravened Wikipedia policy to such an egregious extent that it must be changed, I would argue that, in addition to the brackets, a footnote should be added to indicate that the word cannot be used on Wikipedia and the appropriate Wikipedia policy cited. Barring such a justification, I argue for a revision back to the orginal quotation. - Tim1965 18:24, 29 April 2007 (UTC)Reply
