Your changes to Slobodan Milošević have been removed. Please don't rewrite Wikipedia articles like that - they are supposed to be written in the third person. Thanks, FreplySpang (talk) 00:00, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
But the first person is so much more warm and personal. It draw you in. Well, I'm not sure how warm and personal I'd want to be with Slobodan Milošević. Anyway, we try to make all our articles similar, and we have decided that they all should be written in the third person. FreplySpang (talk) 00:15, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Beans, Beans, the Magical Fruit

Please stop adding nonsense to Wikipedia. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you. M o P 00:46, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

Hey, I wouldn't call that vandalism. Anyway, the reason the article says "magical" instead of "musical" is that magical is somewhat more common. But thanks for bringing it to my attention that the article doesn't mention alternate titles. NickelShoe (Talk) 05:29, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Beans, Beans

Hi again. I'm sympathetic to the fact that you find "musical" to be more appropriate a title, but I explained on the talk page that "magical" is actually more common. Hey, if I had it to my preferences, it'd be "wonderful", but it's an encyclopedia for everybody, not just you and me. I reverted the change. NickelShoe (Talk) 21:06, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for your suggestion, but I'm wondering, what has drawn you to conclude that "Beans, Beans, the Magical Fruit" is more common than "Beans, Beans, the Musical Fruit"? The entry has only one verifiable source, the "Whacking Day" Simpsons episode. In that episode, "Musical" is used. Not trying to be snarky, but do you have other sources where "Magical" is used instead? I just haven't seen any evidence that "Magical" is the more common usage.
Respectfully,
JB Waltz
Like I said, Please read the talk page. I ran a google search on three variations and Magical was by far the most common. Now there are other ways to test usage, but you haven't offered any. NickelShoe (Talk) 03:47, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
