What is going on with history?

The history is just about robot ducks, not the history of the phrase. Is this supposed to happen? Evenite (talk) 05:30, 3 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

"In popular culture" section

The section titled 'in popular culture' seems a little long, and kind of random

American Vandalism

Just as Americans refer to the pinnacle of their national game as the World Series, in this article, quality international research is deleted in favour of references to American entertainment and history. This seems to be a trend in parts of Wikipedia where the quality is deleted, leaving a bland residue of little value to anyone.

Logical fallacies are used in politics, law and popular culture, and the duck test is one of the more egregious. By deleting the historical reference to France in the 18th century, an important reference that will be used by serious users of Wikipedia is lost. We are left with Dirk Gently, Monty Python and the Marx Brothers.

And what is the elephant test doing here? CDT1997 (talk) 08:21, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
