Topic: Found Syntax's brother's wikipedia account

Read this and then tell me I'm wrong.
> Having myself only discovered the talking mongoose a few dozen minutes ago (via an unsourced reference in the NYTimes to the BBC "Listener" and some enjoyable Wiki-surfing therefrom); and having only discovered a/the Hellboy movie channel-surfing a few months ago -- not bad; I personally am sorry not any longer to see the pretty clearly non-random reference in the Hellboy (I'm taking the original editor at hisr word) comic linked to its likely source. I've now just spent a few minutes with Hellboy: The Right Hand of Doom#The Nature of the Beast, which I take to cover the section of the comic where the reference came, on the thought that at least over there the source of the reference would be appropriate. Now I see you've opined it doesn't belong there, either.

> I happen also this weekend to have introduced Rikki Tikki Tavi to my 9-year-old daughter as a reading opportunity. Alas (we live apart most of the time, I don't like to call ..., yet, maybe) I don't now have the volume here to confirm, and don't recall, and don't find from Wikipedia there whether that other probably better-known fictional mongoose actually talks. I've read the trivia article. Can you think of another "talking mongoose"? As a quickie, the first two pages (20+-) of Google results for the phrase all refer to Gef (and yeh! there are 3,530,000 results). Yet you would have someone who say had followed an interest in Hellboy or in the particular comic trade paperback or whatever to our good Wikipedia NOT to find a link to the BBC-changing book-generating thang (t)here.

> I'm a big believer in education. And I've often thought of comic books as "entry-level reading" among other good things. (Less-censored by people like what was his name? the Lord who wrangled with Gef('s creator or documentor) (which creator or documentor we can thank for fighting the job-threat he endured, the courts found, from the Lord and his "friends") (with the Lord in turn being great-uncle+- of Britain's new Prime Minister, one finds) (at a time those '30s when the good Kipling himself still loomed large) is another good attribute of the comics, I'd venture.)

> So, all told, I find your edit -- particularly by extending it to Hellboy, but I think over here, too -- to be really unfortunate. While not being overly heavy, overall, I hope. What say? Swliv (talk) 23:37, 7 June 2010 (UTC)

@previous (Syntax)
You're a biased party with a vested interest in keeping the connection a secret.
i.e. not a reliable source

My dead and buried Bro would have said

I'm a big believer in erections.
