Talk:Gate crashing

I

I think its more than a bit odd that gate-crashing is a crime stub. Are we sure this is correct? Katy (talk) 18:41, 29 August 2009 (UTC)

'Famous' gate-crashers

Are the Salahis' notable enough to be used as examples of gate crashers?

Well they're in now. 'Notable' in that it was a breach of White House security, was Obamas' first 'state' dinner, hadn't happened for some time(not the first time apparently!). DO they deserve their own article? Nah!. But see [3]

Ay Ay Ay Ay ¡Ya llegaron los gorrones!

Gate Crashing is also a tradition in Mexican culture so popular that is even mention in popular songs. The term for a "crasher" is "gorrón" and is told that in every wedding, debutant party or funeral at least a couple of gorrones must make their way inside the event. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.144.86.109 (talk) 14:39, 27 November 2009 (UTC)

That's interesting Amigo. Need to be careful in places where its' not a 'custom' though! With the internet and SMS there have been many cases of a private party getting onto a blog or similar and HUNDREDS of people turning up! Not good. Mass damage to homes, people bashed, in fact riots occuring.
In Australia, the 'Corey Worthington' affair was a major case for a few weeks. "Reality TV version of Neighbours an instant hit", The Sydney Morning Herald, January 16, 2008 [4]

• Perhaps we need some coverage of places where it is 'normal' or an 'accepted' part of the local culture?
• And a few internationally notable cases, hopefully of 'benign' gatecrashers.
• I have heard of people who have made a practice of it and got into places as secure as the White House ie Inter-Goverment meetings. --220.101.28.25 (talk) 11:12, 28 November 2009 (UTC)

Blacklisted Links Found on the Main Page

Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request it's removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.

Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:

Proposed merge with Wedding crashing

Wedding crashing is just gate-crashing a specific type of social event. There's no reason to keep them separate. WhatamIdoing (talk) 22:30, 3 May 2015 (UTC)

Merge completed. Operator873^CONNECT 20:04, 4 October 2017 (UTC)
