Talk:Blanket fort

Untitled
The article does not define what a blanket fort is. I read it and I still don't know? The picture is dark and unclear. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.140.13.238 (talk) 01:28, 28 July 2011 (UTC)

This article or section does not adequately cite its references or sources.


 * That's the funniest thing I've read all day. Seriously, where would one go about locating the world's great scholarly works on blanket forts?

Removed from article page, as not encyclopedic, but no harm having it here :)
 * xkcd's comic about blanket fort http://xkcd.com/219/

This article is hardly written in an Encyclopedic tone. I'm adding an "inapporpriate tone" tag, but I'll see what I can do to clean it up right now. Surely, there must be some reference to the concept of children building forts out of furniture in some book or research paper somewhere. AlexDitto 03:24, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Most of that inappropriate material was added in a single diff a few days ago ;) Thanks for cleaning up :) --Quiddity 17:13, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

"Zilot" is not in common use
The article currently claims blanket forts are commonly known as "zilots." The only references to this word on Google are related to the picture book Zilot and Other Important Rhymes by Bob Odenkirk. In this interview, Odenkirk says it's a word his son made up, and the presenter is not familiar with it.

Perhaps the word "zilot" will catch on in the future. But since I can't find any other attestations of this word, I'm removing it from the article. Aresman71 (talk) 15:59, 9 March 2024 (UTC)
