[from my talk]
Hello, can you please clarify why a site which states "Some aspects of this site may offend the weak minded, especially the weak minded amongst the Sheppey natives, which is just about all of them. If you are squeamish or easily upset then we suggest you choose not to enter this site. You should probably go fuck yourself instead." is useful info on the island? Anárion 12:50, 21 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- Because it's by far the best-known site on Sheppey. Also #1 hit on Google. Leaving it out of the article would be ridiculous. - David Gerard 13:25, 21 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- By that logic the Dubya article should link to http://www.bushorchimp.com/ . The links, if kept in, should be marked as anti-Sheppey and generally hostile. Anárion 13:51, 21 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- I didn't realise bushorchimp was quite so popular ;-) Hopefully the present marking is OK - David Gerard 13:58, 21 Jul 2004 (UTC)
I don't think we need a link to a site that looks like it's been written by a disgruntled teenager whose mummy won't let him use the car to go somewhere exciting. DJ Clayworth 15:43, 21 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- Said site is just about the only fame Sheppey has. One could pretend otherwise, but one would nevertheless just be pretending - David Gerard 15:50, 21 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- There are two other sites on the page, and they will do fine. Also worth remembering that there is only one thing worse than no information, and that is wrong information. DJ Clayworth 17:17, 21 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- May as well stick my oar in. I've once again removed the "Sheppeyscum" link. The only reason for an article to have an external link is if it is a home site or contains valuable information that cannot be easily included in the article itself. This site does not meet those criteria and, besides, is poorly written and offensive. If it was about a country, instead of a district, it would be considered racist. Deb 21:12, 21 Jul 2004 (UTC)
Sheppey Link site
Is that site really 'anti-Sheppey'? It looks more anti-the council, if anything - David Gerard 14:02, 21 Jul 2004 (UTC)

- Given this is so why do we need an article of Sheppy at all?, Just Delete the whole page confidant in the knowledge that Sheppey has no other fame. If not then no justification for the link can be made. Remove the link.. Faedra 08:12, 23 Jul 2004 (UTC)
