Strap-on dildo

I have read the article and was blown away at its thoroughness. It is comprehensive; just about anything one would want to know about strap on dildoes. Its prose is brilliant, at times poetic. It has a number of tasteful images that instruct and enlighten without becoming overbearing. I can't believe this isn't already an FA. It features the best of wikipedia, nay humanity.

Comment. Seems to be completely unreferenced. Is this a joke? --Malleus Fatuorum (talk) 00:53, 11 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
STRONG OPPOSE and DELIST Unreferenced.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 00:54, 11 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose this is clearly a joke Stu pendousmat (talk) 01:09, 11 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose because it does not mention there is a tiny island in Florida Bay called Dildo Key. Named for the dildo cactus, which is named for the dildo. Oh, and the lack of citations is a minor annoyance. --Moni3 (talk) 01:45, 11 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry. As much as I'd like it to be a featured article (being the original author and photographer), no one has anwered my pleas for help finding references (I can't cite myself or product lists for everything), and as such it is not going to be a featured article at this time (I'll save the rant on why reference-obsession hurts the encyclopedia for another place). If you want it to be a featured article, please lend a hand finding references! due to the taboo (and often illegal) nature of most of the activities strapons are used for, references are hard to find, and I don't have access to some of the places that would provide good references. So remove the nomination now, lend a hand finding some, then submit it again! Bushytails (talk) 06:38, 11 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The principle editor has stated the article isn't FAC ready and has requested withdrawal. I have left a note for JeanLatore's mentor and will also leave a note for JeanLatore to adhere to WP:FAC instructions in the future. Regards, SandyGeorgia (Talk) 14:24, 11 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
