Why exactly is the NPOV of this article disputed? Putting the warning up before there has actually been any dispute seems an intellectually dishonest attempt at presenting a valid and factual article as biased. Similarly, the content of the article is in fact supported by sources, and I don't see any valid reason to have that tag either. Until a debate actually occurs on this Talk Page I'm removing the warnings. --71.137.147.161 13:52, 26 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

For the purpose of transparency that post was made by myself. --Talain 13:53, 26 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Putting aside the AfD silliness, I think this article could use a few words about the "submission" process at the root of this controversy that eBaum's World hide behind. Alwarren@ucsd.edu 01:38, 28 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Lindsay Lohan File Name

The number "187" is the numeric code for "murder" used by law enforcement, which has been interpreted as a death threat from eBaum's World itself.

This line here clearly points to an objective view. Firstly, the knowledge that Eric Bauman may have of legal code is most likely limited is probably a coincidental number used to name the image so that it had a not all text name so that the image in question could be listed on their servers easily. Or is just an arbitrary number.

The fuck you guys part should still stay in, but the 187 part should be at least be differentiated as one interpretation. (unsigned comment by Mofomojo 06:24, 28 January 2006 (UTC))[reply]

See Talk:EBaum's_World for more information on other eBaum's World employees' actions. One posted a picture of his testicles on the Internet. This isn't beyond them. --Tokachu 19:29, 29 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The image was renamed from whatever original to the new one. 187 isn't just a random number they used; I don't think it was coincidental that the number is the same for murder, the "fuck you guys" makes it appear to be intentional. - Hbdragon88 21:37, 29 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Redirection

Yes, I know, this article is on AfD, looking like keep/merge. There are some serious complaints about the unsourced statements in this article and for the time being I am going to merge all verifiable info back into the main article. No, it's not a sneaky attempt to delete it; if info doesn't get merged back immediately it's because it takes a little time to check things out. Help doing this would be appreciated.
