Do talk pages count?

It is clear to me after reading some of the discussions on here about the constitutionality of Federal Reserve Notes that Wikipedia is biased and most likely run by politically correct bureaucratic big government officials. We the people, under our Constitution, define money as gold and silver. The government is no longer of the people, and so anything in the article supporting this fraud should be scrapped. It's not legal. The government is not above the citizenry, though they'd like to think they are.

And you don't remember what I said here, either, but it was pompous and stupid.
Jade Ear Joe
An article by economist D. W. MacKenzie published on the website of the Ludwig von Mises Institute used the movie to illustrate a critique of mainstream economics, arguing that "In economic terms the final reliving of the day constitutes what economists refer to as a perfectly competitive equilibrium based on perfect information. ... In the hypothetical world of Phil Connors in Groundhog Day all of the parameters of the 'game' he is playing are reset back to their original position every night while he sleeps. In the real world there are no constants."[37]

[ASK] me about OS/2 Warp
Ruhrfisch comments: Thanks for your work on this article - sounds like an interesting game, but I do not think the article is ready for GAN yet. Here are some suggestions for improvement.
A model article is useful for ideas and examples to follow. There are about 484 GA at Category:GA-Class video game articles, many of which seem like they would be good models for this article.
I think this meets the notability requirements, though since it is about a planned video game by a group of amateurs, it may be disputed by some. It might be worth reading WP:NOTCRYSTALBALL.
The fact that the game has not yet been released seems to be to disqulify this for GA (and it certainly would not meet FA requirements). Looking at WP:WIAGA, one of the GA requirements is that the article be broad in its coverage. Since the game has not been released yet, it is hard to see how this or any article on it could be broad in its coverage now. Many of the details of the article are missing at this point because the game is still unknown. There can be no real description of plot or gameplay or critical reaction / reception yet.
Another concern I have is the sources - GA articles have to use reliable sources - these should be third-party, and independent of the subject as much as possible. Blogs are not generally seen a RS.
I also note that there are 15 sources, 3 of which seem to be either the game developers (mane6) or a blog of questionable RS value (Equestria Gaming). There is a Russian source which I cannot evaluate but is on WordPress, so it seems to be a blog too. And then 11 more clearly relaible sources. Of these 11, four (refs 12, 13, 14, and 15, do not mention this game at all. That leaves seven refs that do, which is OK for meeting WP:NN, but not for GAN
Be careful that the article uses refs properly. For example the article says Though an unlicensed work from Hasbro, the holders of the My Little Pony franchise intellectual property, the Mane 6 team has not received any cease and desist notices from the company to date.[11] but the CBC article only says Voice casting for the ponies is already underway and most surprisingly the toymaker Hasbro hasn't sued them to smithereens. Since a cease and desist order is not the same as being sued, this seems like an iffy use of the ref.
Watch out for vague time phrases - in the preceding quote "to date" could be replaced with "as of October 2011" (the date of the CBC story).
Is there any sort of timeline known for a possible release date?
I wonder if a WP:FAIRUSE image could be added - the sources I read talk about the artwork looking professional.
Not sure about including the names of the creators in the infobox - I would be more comfortable with this if the sources used for the names were more reliable.
Please make sure that the existing text includes no copyright violations, plagiarism, or close paraphrasing. For more information on this please see Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/2009-04-13/Dispatches. (This is a general warning given in all peer reviews, in view of previous problems that have risen over copyvios.)
Hope this helps. If my comments are useful, please consider peer reviewing an article, especially one at Wikipedia:Peer review/backlog (which is how I found this article). I do not watch peer reviews, so if you have questions or comments, please contact me on my talk page. Yours, Ruhrfisch ><>°° 19:22, 22 November 2011 (UTC)

Synopsis

The first verse begins, "I like big butts and I cannot lie", and most of the song is about being attracted to large buttocks. The second and third verse challenge mainstream norms of beauty: "I ain't talkin' bout Playboy. Cuz silicone parts are made for toys" and "So Cosmo says you're fat / Well I ain't down with that!". Sir Mix-a-Lot commented in a 1992 interview: "The song doesn't just say I like large butts, you know? The song is talking about women who drat near kill themselves to try to look like these beanpole models that you see in Vogue magazine." He explains that most women respond positively to the song's message, especially black women: "They all say, 'About time.'"[3]

Also brought to the forefront of pop culture by this song is a generally accepted white standard of beauty — a skinny body lacking in voluptuous curves. In the prelude that opens the song there is a conversation between two (presumably) thin, white valley girls, where one girl remarks to her friend, "Oh, my God, Becky, look at her butt! It is so big [...] She's just so ... black!", to which Sir Mix-a-Lot, representing the African-American subculture's view, says: "You other brothers can't deny" and "Take the average black man and ask him...".[4] However, Sir Mix-a-Lot follows this in a later verse with "Even white boys got to shout," indicating that it is not only African-American men who are attracted to curvy women.

Dialogue of Eurasian actress Papillon Soo Soo saying "Me so horny" is sampled from Full Metal Jacket to complete Sir Mix-a-Lot's lyric, "that butt of yours makes..." It is one of two popular rap songs of the era (along with 2 Live Crew's "Me So Horny") in which her dialogue from the film is featured.

The title of the song, Baby Got Back, can itself be deconstructed to reveal a significant amount of cultural information. The use of the past-participle of "to get", indicative of African-American Vernacular English, implies a decoupling between the subject ("Baby") and object (her "back"). This disconnect raises the possibility that it is not Baby's back that had been got; rather, Anthony Ray is suggesting that Baby is in possession of the platonic ideal of back.

Hasbro is our enemy. They do nothing but evil towards us, their benefactors. We create far superior content to them. We must do anything within our power to remove them of their unnatural position of power over us. Many among us, including me and my people, are beyond sick of this.

How can we effect change?

One plan: Bankrupt Hasbro. Spread smear campaigns against them, get into their system as employees and do as much as we can to disrupt their stranglehold on us. Make Hasbro afraid of us. Find a way to turn 4chan against them.

Another plan: Start a new country. This is a dream of mine. We, as bronies and other excellent individuals who share our righteous views, start a country free of copyright abuse. One where copyrights can only be held by individuals for 10 years, and by corporations for 1. No exceptions. It will not be infringement for an individual who does not have the power of a corporation to use a corporation's content. Any corporation found trying to bully smaller parties in the manner Hasbro is so accustomed to will be fined half of their net worth every infraction. Anyone who is part of a glorious pony content-creating team such as that of Fighting is Magic will be paid by the government to do their work. Clop will be on billboards, research into robotic pony AIs will be effected, and the national anthem will be a collage of all great pony songs. Any previous members of the staff of the show (NOT Hasbro) will be welcome to come to our great country to continue their work. Direct employees of Hasbro or their legal team will be persona non grata. Anyone involved with Hasbro's wanton abuse of its previous beneficiaries, us generous and extraordinary bronies, if found in our borders will be in prison for at least 5 years before being sent back to their home country with a robotic tail attached to them. Our space program will etch Luna's visage into the moon.

If anyone knows any good ways we can get back at Hasbro that would be lovely.

[...]

Should we have sent a letter politely to Japan to ask them to please stop bombing our territory? How in the world would that work? They clearly see us as their enemy and they want us gone. The only solution is the eradication of Hasbro's power over us. Whether by elimination or restriction of copyright laws, their bankruptcy from us convincing the world not to buy anything related to them, whatever means necessary. Negotiating with terrorists does not work.
