Nice one Jacques. :-) --Brian McNeil / talk 19:57, 24 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]


This has really jumped in popularity fast. Its number 32 currently (Based on hits since beginning of the month). For something just published and published later in the month, that is really good. Bawolff 05:44, 26 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Anything that has Naked or Sex in the title is likely to be popular.--Steven Fruitsmaak (Reply) 00:12, 27 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Appropriateness of editing?[edit]

I saw this listed as a "featured story" and added information to it like a normal news story, but now I've noticed it originated as an "interview". It would seem strange not to add facts to a prose article, especially when mentioning competitors to a business enterprise, yet such would compromise a true interview format. My feeling is that true interviews should be written more clearly as consisting of a series of quotations so that there is no uncertainty. 70.15.116.59 21:04, 24 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Our wiki-format allows every user to contribute and edit interviews, as long as the quotes themselves remain unchanged. I kinda like the style Gabriel has in most interviews, in which quotes are mixed with prose, and I don't see any real need to change that. So: yes, editing original articles, even interviews, is appropriate. --Steven Fruitsmaak (Reply) 20:47, 25 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
