General Category

In the main category, I would like to add a section that states "Lady Gaga took to her Twitter account to announce her approval for the episode, stating "I really loved Glee's Born This Way episode. I admire the show for being brave+fighting for such modern social messaging. Never back down.". Since this is input from the star who's song is the central storyline, I think this would be important.

I think this would go good in the Commentary subsection of the Music section. Feel free to do so, just make sure you have the link. :) DAP388 (talk) 16:49, 30 April 2011

Re: Recent revert

Apologies. My recent revert was because I thought the previous edit was vandalism, not an attempt at censorship. --Another Believer _(Talk) 04:52, 9 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

For good or ill, the article has contained that "[heck]" in place of VanDerWerff's original "fuck" since the section was written over five months ago. While I can see making that restoration, even after all this time, I'm not totally convinced the other two changes were as advisable, though less direct quoting and a bit more summary would make the section tighter.
