Can we split this page? Justinc 14:43, 6 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- Seems like a reasonable idea. I just created Merlot (disambiguation) with a link from here and moved the online community info to a stub name Merlot online community. If someone wants to create a article about the XML editor it should be linked from the disambig page. -- Rick Block 18:18, 14 Nov 2004 (UTC)
I editted the f word at the end of that page since, I know it was not totally necessary to spell it out.
- Despite the fact that you "know" it was "not totally necessary", there is a rather strong majority believing that even graphic sexual content should not be censored (see Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Oral sex (no pictures) for one of several recent discussions on this). In this case, I think it is even more obvious. The movie character said "fucking" and not "f------", period. If the quote should be there (which, on the other hand, might be discussed, albeit on entirely different grounds) it should read as it was actually spoken. Changing it could be seen as falsification.
-- I agree. Don't censor what was actually spoken.
[edit] Sideways
Is it true that Merlot sales dropped, quite signifigantly after sideways came out? maybe something could be added about this.--Richy 13:10, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
- I've added links to the research that seems to have sparked this debate (if it's a debate) and one of the "anecdotal reports" that resulted. -- Darthsco 20:12, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
- The thing is, the NPR report about the movie's effects came out in 2004, but the Nelson report cited is from 2005. --24.180.25.249 19:56, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] "Connoisseur stuff"
I think there might be some way of salvaging it -- easiest way is to reference tasting notes. Anyone got a source for a general merlot profile? I know Robert Parker's website requires registration, but surely there's another? Haikupoet 04:35, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Needed: A writer's touch
I've been working on this article and adding facts/references but prose is not my strongest suit. If anyone out there is willing to string this together into more compelling prose that will be great. Agne 14:40, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
