By whom? Citation please. --prime mover (talk) 01:17, 21 November 2016 (EST)


 * the only citation I can offer is the memory of various people's teachers in grade school. Maybe it's too much of a joke to be on PW. --GFauxPas (talk) 06:29, 21 November 2016 (EST)


 * Various reasons here:
 * a) I have already incurred the incandescent rage of a brigade of rabid feminazis over the inclusion of Diophantus Updated on the jokes page as it is -- and that one was subtle -- so I would rather we didn't put up material on the main pages that can be construed as sexist and offensive. We don't want to ask for trouble.
 * b) It's too ephemeral. People are going to be saying "Dolly who?" in time to come, whereas we want this website to be timeless and eternal.
 * c) I'm pretty sure the lady in question would be far better remembered for her ability to sing C&W, although I do understand that she has made a lot of money from the fact that her physical shape appeals in a particular way to a certain demographic.
 * So probably best we don't do this. --prime mover (talk) 10:08, 21 November 2016 (EST)
