sic

I placed {{sic}} because of the obviously incorrect usage of "paradigm", which, as far as I am concerned, is not used to apply to human beings. Perhaps the writer meant "paragon"? 70.162.235.236 (talk) 23:51, 12 March 2019 (UTC)Reply

The Oxford English dictionary defines it as "A typical example or pattern of something", so basically the lawyers were calling him a "typically ungrateful client". The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 23:57, 12 March 2019 (UTC)Reply

NPOV

WP:NPOV requires us not to editorialize about how "ironic" it was for Belzer to name a farmhouse. It matters not whether the sources use it, we are not allowed to state such opinions in Wikipedia's voice. 70.162.235.236 (talk) 00:12, 13 March 2019 (UTC)Reply

That's amusing - per MOS:SCAREQUOTES, now we're going to editorialize by "distancing ourselves" from "ironcically" by putting it in scare quotes? 70.162.235.236 (talk) 00:22, 13 March 2019 (UTC)Reply

The C of E, does this really need to be explained? Cjhard (talk) 04:27, 6 March 2023 (UTC)Reply

I remember this sentence from having read the article a little while ago. My impression was also that it is nonsensical. Even if it isn't, I don't see how it's relevant: It makes it sound like Bollea's fame was somehow affected by the case. Of course, the IGN source doesn't mention the case. —Alalch E. 09:08, 6 March 2023 (UTC)Reply

Chin lock?

edit

Just querying calling the hold Hogan used a "chin lock." The article uses that term, but links to a guillotine choke. That page makes no mention of that term - should this article just say guillotine choke? 92.236.123.233 (talk) 17:37, 28 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
