To those who say this treatment is too "fucking" long, "fuck you". Just kidding. :-) The fact is that this topic is quite important, given the prominence of "fuck" in English vernacular, and owing to the many and well-covered false etymologies. This work is an encyclopedia. It should contain information that one can find nowhere else, and does. The more controversial interpretations have been substantiated via legitimate references. I can't see anything in the article that is overdone, overblown or superfluous. Since Alan Ginsberg wrote Howl, and Country Joe McDonald let out his "fish cheer" at Woodstock, "fuck" has become one of the most important words in the language.11:30 pm, 3 Oct 2007; User: Doktorschley —Preceding unsigned comment added by Doktorschley (talk • contribs) 05:30, 4 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Ok. My apologies if this is a sensitive or controversial topic for anyone. I believe the subject is appropriate for a featured article, but will certainly understand if others disagree. I find this article to be entertaining, informative, and thorough. It meets all the featured article criteria handily with the possible exception of stability. I believe the article has reached the point where major changes are no longer made on a regular basis, but it will be impossible to halt the vandalism from immature individuals that are naturally drawn to articles on vulgarisms. However, wikipedians are generally good at reverting vandalism promptly, and I do not think that should be a bar to featuring such an outstanding article. Indrian 05:51, Apr 21, 2005 (UTC)
