who placed the "clean-up" template here? does anyone think this article need any more work?

I agree with you, Jjatria, this article looks good to me. --MKultra



"But wait, there's more!" - I'm glad someone added this back. I like it, and I think it's apropos.

When I added it, I didn't even realize it was here before. So I guess it is appropriate if two different people added the same statement.

awww...

someone removed it again... I don't care anymore... edit wars suck! J. Crocker

I think it looks unprofessional even if it's appropriate. Remember, this is an encyclopedia, not a giant playground. ;) - furrykef (Talk at me) 09:15, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

But it should also be readable. The other day there was an article about Popeil in the LA Times, discussing his selling Ronco (he will remain their primary pitchman but wants to spend more time with his family, I think) and they used the expression in that article as well, similar to how it was used here; not that Wiki should be as entertaining as LA Times, but I see nothing wrong with it; it's one of his trademark expressions and instantly associated with telemarketing. Besides, I think Ron would approve (unless he's got the expression actually trademarked!) But whatever, agreed on edit wars. justfred 050915.1138

Was removed in full; added back. See Wikipedia:IPC. That said, there are a lot of these that should be removed since they're only 'passing references'--Justfred (talk) 23:53, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
