	Are the mentions of the ex-American President and the used-flying-saucer dealer citations or references to one of TPs books? Yes, they may be funny, but they seem to be irrelevant and are distracting. At least, the annoying flying-saucer-part should be considerably shortened.--[[User:EinFritz\|EinFritz]] ([[User talk:EinFritz\|talk]]) 05:47, 21 October 2013 (GMT)		Are the mentions of the ex-American President and the used-flying-saucer dealer citations or references to one of TPs books?

			::Are newbies not supposed to be respectful of those who went before? We like to see some discussion and justification ''before'' ripping out large sections. We have also traditionally valued humor where reasonable in the articles, following the model of Stephen Briggs's ''Companions''. I could have reverted without comment as you did, but reasons are required, and I supplied them. (I don't think you could call the article "bloated", either, not filling a page.) --[[User:Old Dickens\|Old Dickens]] ([[User talk:Old Dickens\|talk]]) 22:00, 21 October 2013 (GMT)
