The Lottery
Maybe so. But both of those blocks of copy showed context. Apparently, young people today (as indicated by past questions and comments) have trouble understanding why "The Lottery" or a photo of Truman Capote once had the power to upset people. I had to add a huge section to the Capote page just because several people wanted to know just why the "much-discussed photo" was much discussed. Apparently, many high school students read the Wiki pages on Shirley Jackson and "The Lottery" but have no overview of censorship issues or life in the 1950s. Pepso 09:44, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I agree with you in theory, but in practice the list of things in the media today comes off as editorializing and original research. And the list of stories belonged in its own article. Maximumlobster 19:42, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
