I've got your nose - Wikipedia

@reneestephen Good, well-sourced, factual citation has to be on the nose.
My uncle still has my nose.

@Tedspence @reneestephen
Anyone got a concise description for Crusty's response?

It's should have won an Oscar.

I still remember the times when The Simpsons was subversive comedy.

Surely holding up the flaws of a culture to its adolescents didn't have to result in those flaws becoming the dominant cultural paradigm?

@Tedspence This one, and that scene from 30 Rock. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5QRlnqPTV6g

@reneestephen Gotta love Wikipedia Humor!
@reneestephen this gesture means to have sex in some culture.
@reneestephen sounds like something a robot would look up to understand how human culture works
@reneestephen It's incredibly well-written, too.
@reneestephen well heck, if I was the crying kid whose nose had just been gotten, I’d want more than just a placatory statement without citation, too!
@reneestephen somebody already removed it. :<
@Ronflaix Yep there's always one cop

@reneestephen another case of Guy Standing Sitting: *no fun allowed*, bleh

Edit: oh come on, they even removed the whole sentence!

@reneestephen i am going to run around a wiki editor and teasingly chant, "got your citation!" while pinching my thumb
@reneestephen I love this. Do people still do this?
@reneestephen It is a real citation needed but from an older page edit for anyone curious https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=I%27ve_got_your_nose&oldid=1159129563

@BrodieOnLinux @reneestephen
The citation on the current page links to this, but this does not address the issue of the baby's nose not actually being taken

HOW CAN WE KNOW THE NOSE ISN'T BEING TAKEN??

Nothin' 2 Do

Games and activities that children enjoyed before there were electronic games, computers, televisions or radios. Games and activities from the 50's, 40's, 30's and even before. Games that were healthy, fun and enriching. Games that our children should enjoy today, but don't know how. Let's give them a chance to love the good things we loved! Teach them these games!

@reneestephen "At no point is the child's nose actually removed from the child's face." 😂
@reneestephen
Thanks for the utterly innocent laugh. Much appreciated.
@reneestephen It's GONE. :((( no fun allowed
@reneestephen: In some Eastern European cultures, this gesture can be a threat of violence, or just very rude.
@reneestephen I have six sons. Don't you dare tell my youngest that I don't have his nose in a box on my table.
@reneestephen what i love is that both the sentence and the citation needed tag were added by the same editor in the same edit https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=1159129563&oldid=1145210850&title=I%27ve_got_your_nose

@codl @reneestephen This is standard practice; it's considered okay to add uncited statements that you know are true and can be cited, but you're supposed to add [citation needed] and preferably come back and add the citations later.
@codl @reneestephen And indeed the current revision now includes a citation.
@reneestephen
In large parts of the old world, this gesture, with the thumb pressing and passing through the two fingers in an abrupt upward motion, means "I f.ck you". It's aggressive and insulting. Not funny at all.
@65dBnoise @reneestephen And in large parts of the world, it is neither agressive nor insulting. What's your point?
@reneestephen The first time I did that to my daughter, she just put her hand to her face to check her nose and then looked at me like I was a fucking dipshit.
@reneestephen @darac Obviously needs Mystery Biscuits!
@reneestephen one of my all time (similar) favourites is still evident in the 'list of Cetaceans' [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cetaceans] - scroll down the 'family lists' and (a few) missing images have a placeholder: "[cetacean needed]". I sincerely hope that the last remaining gap is never filled.

@cloudhopper this is delightful!! I'm hesitant to RT this because apparently there are very diligent wikipedia editors who hate fun who would immediately rules-lawyer this small joy out of the world. Sigh.
@reneestephen ha! just enjoy it for you then. i do (o:
@reneestephen @cloudhopper This has been litigated. It appears to be consensus to preserve it.
@reneestephen This can actually happen if you mix this game with stone, scissors, paper (the scissors part of it).
@reneestephen
I mean, there's probably at least two if not three or four citations needed there ;)
@reneestephen Of course the killjoy Wikipedian in me had to resolve that citation needed tag #Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=I%27ve_got_your_nose&diff=prev&oldid=1160103269
I've got your nose - Wikipedia

@fuzheado @reneestephen

I was just about to tag you as the killjoy who added the citation, but you beat me to it! 😉

@funcrunch @reneestephen Never have I ever felt so guilty while improving a #Wikipedia article. At least I wasn't the person who purged {{cetacean needed}} from [[List of cetaceans]]. (It was added back after consensus was established proving we can have a little bit of fun.)

@reneestephen

That it is described in Wikipedia is humorous enough for me.

Then I think to myself - is that automated - or did an actual human put that in.

Then I think... Well in today's world I guess we can't rule out that someone at some time "did actually..."

@reneestephen This is the internet content I signed up for! 😆
@reneestephen This is a taunt the Ukrainians gave the Russians just prior to the invasion. The Ukrainians still have Putin's nose...
@reneestephen I just checked 🤣🤣 a citation has been provided!
@reneestephen That line was written by Voldemort
@reneestephen slightly worrying though... I mean... somebody tinks it might. And there are really weird people out there.
@reneestephen No children were harmed in the making of this game
