Talk:Moonbattery
Can someone who understands German tell me what this paper says and if the paper is a reliable source. Apparently it discredits the animal brothel myth but I can't be sure. Thanks for the help, I appreciate it. ClothCoat (talk) 06:21, 17 July 2013 (UTC)
- Just ran it through Google Translate. It seems to say that while animal brothels are definitely illegal, it's unknown whether they actually exist or not. As for the paper itself, it certainly seems legitimate as it has a presence on both the English and German Wikipedias.
- Also, I could have sworn we already had an article on this site! How did I miss that? I've seen posts from Moonbattery littering the posts at FSTDT for ages... Wehpudicabok [話] [変] 07:56, 17 July 2013 (UTC)
- Yeah I was surprised there wasn't already an article on these nut jobs. I love how they say racist things then get surprised when people call them racist. Thanks for the help I'll cite it now. (Is it worth creating a page for "liberal logic 101", considering how popular it's gotten?) ClothCoat (talk) 17:23, 17 July 2013 (UTC)
2nd top search result[edit]
Is this page the second highest search result for "Moonbattery", behind only the infamous blog itself? I can't tell because my computer knows I've visited this page so it comes up higher automatically. If that is the case I'm a bit surprised they haven't replied to this page, or even attempt to deny any of it (not that they really could though...). ClothCoat (talk) 09:50, 5 March 2014 (UTC)
