[edit] The External links

I'm wondering, are the entries in the external links section actually the sources used for the article? If so, I'd like to reclassify them as such using the layout at Template:Reflist. Thanks! —Elipongo (Talk|contribs) 03:22, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

I've put the {{External links}} tag on the article, those links need to be cleaned up. If they're references, please work them into the article as footnotes. Thanks! —Elipongo (Talk|contribs) 01:40, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Messy and Needs Sources

The "Meaning of Term" and "Usage" sections neither cite any sources and both, especially the prior, are sloppy. Someone want to take a try at rewriting them? --Col.clawhammer 10:27, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Bullhorn

I'd like to find the source with the quote from the creators about their "bullhorn to yell at America." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.126.197.51 (talk) 02:18, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Too much

Way too much of this information pertains more to the show then actual South Park republicans. While reading it I almost forgot that I wasn't on the show's page. The information needs some serious editing as a huge amount of the information is not relevent to the topic of the article. Glassbreaker5791 01:28, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Google hits != notable

Just because you can google and get 'a lot' of web hits does NOT mean the subject meets Wikipedia notability guidelines. WP:NOTABLETheRedPenOfDoom 16:49, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

Exactly, they can't "prove" anything, but it can be used to "confirm roughly how popularly referenced an expression is". See WP:GOOGLE. нмŵוτнτ 00:51, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 'Not fans of extremists'

I've removed this bit: "They are simply not fans of extremists, and enjoy 'roasting' those on each side." The article had already mentioned that they consider themselves to be in the middle ground. (Trey Parker is quoted in this interview as saying, "And we're both just pretty middle-ground guys.") But whether they actually are or not is a matter of opinion. I'm sure there are many who consider their views to be extreme, even if they don't think so themselves, so I think that saying they are not fans of extremists is rather misleading in that respect. -- Oliver P.
