Please do not add original research or novel syntheses of published material to articles as you apparently did to The Onion. Please cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you. McGeddon (talk) 16:58, 1 September 2014 (UTC)


 * Hi. The problem is that it's your personal interpretation that MSN are taking the Onion seriously, and Wikipedia discourages this kind of research. We need a secondary source to make that call for us - another news story saying "ha ha, look at MSN, taking the Onion seriously". This is partly to ensure that articles are accurate (maybe MSN are joking by including it, maybe it's a factual AV story) but mostly to make sure that such lists only include significant examples - examples that got actual secondary press coverage, rather than obscure blips. --McGeddon (talk) 18:05, 1 September 2014 (UTC)
