Patent nonsense

You recently marked a Hulk article for speedy deletion as "patent nonsense". That phrase probably means something different here than you may think. In short, it means only that an article is "jibberish" or "not intelligible meaning". Please take a read of Wikipedia:Patent nonsense. See ya around. -- Netoholic @ 02:39, 2004 Oct 22 (UTC)

It's not nonsense? could have fooled me. Thanks for your input though. Paulr 14:31, 22 Oct 2004 (UTC)

After further review, a simple speedy delete would have been a better choice. Paulr 15:47, 22 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Hitler... a vegetarian

I've noticed that you have removed Hitler from List of vegetarians; please note that it was not a vandal who put that link in there. It is a well known fact that Hitler was in fact a vegetarian, i know it might be insulting to be compared to such a person, but we can't just remove that information because it makes us feel uncomfortable. I'm going to restore the link... (I'm watching your talk page now, so if you wish to respond here, feel free to...) Beta m (talk)

After a quick googling, you're right. i appologize, i just assumed the worst. he apparently also didn't eat cabbage or beans. His reasons for eating a diet mostly consisting of honey, mushrooms, and yogurt were due to other foods causing him pains. Hillarious! Paulr 15:44, 22 Oct 2004 (UTC)

I've read what you have said on the talk page of List of vegetarians, and i think that you might be correct. Plus i've done some searching and it seems like he did actually tried to deviate from vegetarian diet every change that he had (stuffed pigeon being his favourite meal and all). But maybe it should say something on the page anyhow... like "It is commonly believed that Hitler was a vegetarien". What do you think? Beta m (talk)

Maybe a minor note, like "(diet mostly vegetarian due to stomach problems, ate meat occasionally)." We should probably continue this on the talk page. Paulr 17:38, 22 Oct 2004 (UTC)
