There's obviously more. The link is in the citation. Also, I didn't do all the formatting because I'm busy. So italics are missing, etc. --24.61.191.94 (talk) 04:46, 2 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I do believe there is a deep irony in seeing Jimmy Wales Face staring directly at the end user which reading an article on staring Phobias', But what can you do except chalk it up to one of life's funnies , like goatse! Its not like Jimmy's wikimedia add can be banned from this specific page, But if the article was a serious in depth discussion of the Phobia, perhaps that should have been considered. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.255.2.28 (talk) 00:55, 18 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I laughed hysterically when I saw this article with Jimmy's face on it --NotGrammer (talk) 01:50, 19 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Removal of unsourced sentence

I removed the following bit from the lede due to being contradictory and unsourced: It is an outdated piece of psychological terminology, with few references being made to the journal in which it was originally proposed. - CompliantDrone (talk) 14:47, 16 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I HAVE THIS AND I FEEL LIkE JIMMY IS STARING AT ME AND IM REALLY SCARED! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.16.2.9 (talk) 10:25, 19 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
