Diet Coke
Been gradually working on repair of this page, but I feel as though Diet Coke needs some help. Anyone willing to contribute? I also think that the Nazi page needs to be cleaned up, so I'd love your help.


 * Here are some of my thoughts:
 * Under the "Diet Coke: Used as a Weapon?" section, you've got to mention the whole Diet Coke and Mentos craze. And maybe place more emphasis on Islamic terrorists running around America armed only with bottles of diet coke and mentos - something visually comical (maybe an image related to this?).
 * You need some pictures.
 * I recommend you add a brief, catchy introduction for the article.
 * If Diet Coke is linked to Communism because of the red letters, does that mean regular Coke, with it's dominant red background, is syrupy bile straight out of the Kremlin?
 * Isn't Diet Coke a sexier, slimmer version of America's favorite party girl Coke (who might now be getting a bit husky)?
 * Try to link in Stephen Colbert.

Ann Coulter
I just checked out the Ann Coulter page. I see it has been flagged as needing a full re-write. Does that mean someone can just take an axe to it and start from scratch?

It seems that the Michelle Malkin page is a good model for how Ann should be treated. Slightly breathless at how heroic and beautiful she is as a conservative spokeswoman.

Any thoughts about rebuilding Ann? She definitely needs wikiality representation, but the creme brulee recipe and transsexual history are both out of left field. Not to mention, the obscene language makes the satire weak, or non-existent.

The Books section is pretty solid, IMO.

Thoughts?

 * Ann Coulter -- the woman of my dreams! Through her numerous books, all filled with love and warmth, I can smell her sweet scent, and feel her soft golden locks! Please, my dearest Miss Coulter, let me be the father of your children!


 * Definitely worth more than obscene language -- perhaps even worth a Shakespearean sonnet. I think there's a photo of her somewhere out there captioned "the beauty of conservatism", but I can't be bothered to find it with my head. Bi 13:30, 27 April 2007 (UTC)


 * There have been so many comments previously posted about how to fix poor Miss Ann's page, and yet it nothing has helped. So, I am going to make an executive decision and dump everything, and let you start anew!--WatchTVEatDonutDrinkBeer 18:11, 27 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Here's a factoid: does Mark Steyn have a crush on "Miss Coulter" the "blond commentatrix"? OK, that's technically a question, not a factoid, but it's something you can work from. Bi 16:53, 28 April 2007 (UTC)


 * When dealing with a woman as voluptuous as Miss Coulter, it is best to assume that all men have a crush on her, including Jesus. In truthiness, maybe a section detailing all her conquests similar to You Know Who would be in order!--WatchTVEatDonutDrinkBeer 17:21, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

Does anyone have any suggestions for this article. With a little fixing up here and there, I think it could make featured.

Finally! No more facts!

I must apologize for putting up two peer review requests in a row, but this Windows vs. Linux issue is so chock-full of its own gutsiness &mdash; such as the perennial "Linux was created to fight Microsoft" fract, and the ever-present question of whether Linux is left-anarchist, or right-anarchist, or socialist, etc. &mdash; that I just had to chronicle all the gutsiness. (Though I probably won't try to nominate it for Featured Article or Featured Word, it's too nerdy...)

Do let me know what else needs to be done, and if there's any more truth that needs to go in!

Suggestions for Windows vs Linux
Before the blanking, but after the rewrite, this page became too reverent for a person who is not Stephen Colbert. This website is satire. And to keep it satire, and Colbert-centric it must:
 * follow the truthyisms
 * ridicule someone (see Common mistakes for a quick bit on satire.--WatchTVEatDonutDrinkBeer 16:18, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
