Yahoo! Answers?

[edit]

What is Yahoo! Answers doing as a couple of sources on this page? I thought it was not reliable... Dasani 21:18, 21 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It isn't a reliable source. I'd remove them myself, but then I'd also have to find some reliable sources to replace those, since the text they're being referenced to cannot stand alone without sources. --Crackthewhip775 (talk) 23:08, 6 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The Wikipedia Community is forever in debt to the creator of such a page. An article such as this shows the breadth and scope of this project. If no one objects, I would like to add this to the list of Wikipedia:unusual articles, cheers Dough007 (talk) 04:28, 7 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I couldn't disagree more. This has to be one of the worst articles in the entire project. It's beyond laughable that anyone could consider such an article in any way encyclopedic. The Dissident Aggressor 20:19, 4 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Bias

[edit]

Article opens with three back-to-back citations of Christian authors, explicitly labelling them as Christian. Why exactly should we care so much about what they think? Where are the psychologists, sociologists, or sexologists? No feminist academics? No historians? No fashion analysts? You made an article about the social impacts of some clothing without citing anyone who actually studies society, only those shaking their fists at it for not conforming to their worldview? I don't think it would take much inference to see bias going on here.

Moreover, the construction of the article is just a series of factoids about thongs rather than anything resembling an examination of social impact. It's like the author of this article really wanted to talk about thongs but lacked the intellectual adroitness to have anything interesting to say on the topic.

Pathetic. This article should be trashed.
