Since when is correcting erroneous information not allowed by Wikipedia policies? I thought this site was about truth and real information not incorrect information.? Jrahl (talk) 21:43, 6 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Well, if you want to correct erroneous information, make sure you cite sources for the information you add. I did a brief Google search regarding Mr. Ed truly being a zebra, and it looks like that is simply a myth. However, if you find a reliable source that can back up that fact, feel free to add the information back, along with a citation. – GorillaWarfare talk • contribs 21:56, 6 April 2011 (UTC)
 * You'll also see that the zebra hoax has been discussed on the article talk page (Talk:Mister Ed), so feel free to chime in there if you have new information. – GorillaWarfare talk • contribs 21:58, 6 April 2011 (UTC)

uncivil comment removed
 * By the way, if you read the page a bit more carefully, you'd have noted note that it says "everything in this section is a spoof. Mr. Ed was no more a zebra than..." Moreover, it's plainly obvious to anyone simply by looking at a picture of a zebra, noting that the architecture of their ears is quite different than a horse's, and then noting Mr. Ed's ears are that of a horse. Don't be so credulous.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 00:35, 7 April 2011 (UTC)
 * An zebras are notorious for being quite impossible to tame, so it it unlikely they would be starring in a TV show. -- Diannaa  (Talk) 02:23, 7 April 2011 (UTC)

I don't wish to argue but nothing is impossible. One only things something is impossible as they don't know how it can be done. 100 years ago if you woulda told someone man would walk on the moon they would say it was impossible but since then we have. Jrahl (talk) 03:37, 7 April 2011 (UTC)

Please do not attack other editors. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. Crazymonkey1123 (Jacob) (Shout!) 00:21, 7 April 2011 (UTC)

Snopes
Why couldn't anyone just say Snopes has false information on they're site so not everything on there is true? Instead of just telling me i'm wrong would help to explain something.
 * I think that Snopes acted poorly here. They were trying to make a point, that false things can be presented in a believable way by using an appeal to authority, but they did it in a way that wasn't designed to teach by having an obvious reveal, of "just kidding", but instead in a way that was designed to fool, and could easily spread the misinformation which is really the opposite of what they are all about. Well, in a way they did teach you a lesson, but the manner could have been better thought out, and I bet many other people are now just walking around with this misinformation, and misinformation can be pernicious: once it takes hold it can be near impossible to stamp out.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 01:44, 7 April 2011 (UTC)

Considering the site is supposed to be about finding the truth about such tales *if possible* putting up information that's blatantly false without an obvious sign it is false is cruel. It also hurts his credibility and anyone that believes any of his lies. I am sorry for those on here i was rude towards. Jrahl (talk) 03:37, 7 April 2011 (UTC)
