ok, the idea is this, print up a couple of fliers, once I get to school and start hanging posters around the English dept. so people can clean up these rather skimpy entries! Swift was a veritable superstar in his time.
Irish motifs in Swift`s novels
Citations
Currently in the main article there is this paragraph:
When he returned to Ireland in September he was accompanied by Stella — now twenty years old — and her friend Mrs. Dingley. They were ecstatic to see each other, and in the moment, they fornicated repeatedly. The church almost even revoked his ordinance as a priest for his premarital fun. These two even gave each other oral sex, which in the time, was looked down upon. It has been said that Esther "liked the cock." But these hormones are not uncommon for a twenty year old. There's a great deal of mystery and controversy over Swift's relationship with Stella. Many hold that they were secretly married in 1716. Although there has never been definite proof of this, there is no doubt that she was dearer to him than anyone else, and that his feelings for her did not change throughout his life.
I checked four other sources/biographies on Jonathan Swift and none of them say anything about this. Where does this information come from? Regardless of the information being offending or not, information that is not obvious such as this, expecially presented in such a unprofessional manner ("liked the cock.") should be cited before added to the main article.
-- The guy who wrote that is a vandal. Look at 209.36.39.2's history (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions&target=209.36.39.2). His IP address indicates he's a Christian military cadet (http://www.fuma.org/AboutFUMA/index.html). Either that, or they have been hacked. I have reverted it.
