Talk:Uranus (disambiguation)

"Your Anus" edit = Not Vandalism

I have added mention of the "your anus" pun. This is a good faith edit and is not a joke or vandalism. Even though this is silly, this is an extremely common pun, arguably better known to your average person than any of the other items (besides the planet) on this disambigation. Given this notoriety, the pun should not be excluded just because it is silly or humorous. If you have any questions please see my mission statement (on my userpage), send me a message or post here.

If people already know the joke, why do we need to tell them about it? I don't particularly think it belongs here. 209.190.166.162 21:55, 3 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Have the editors considered establishing a separate article for "Uranus Humor" or something similar? It could siphon off some of the (apparently) persistent juvenile vandalism to the main article. Perhaps the sight of the stultifying stuff lined up in one place would serve to teach a clown or two that they aren't all that clever or original. WHPratt (talk) 13:30, 9 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Native speakers might know the joke, but you'd have to be pretty deep into the study of English before you get these things. And think about other different English speaking regions. The pun may be common in Britain and the USA, but is it in Australia? India? English-speaking Africa?

Even if you disregard those groups of wikipedia readers, the fact that "everybody" knows it is no reason not to mention it in an encyclopedia. Would it be a great revelation to you if you learned you were a bipedal primate?--79.252.128.188 (talk) 13:36, 19 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
