Cheerleading

You said: "Why were 66.82.9.87's edits reverted? It seems to me that a slightly more thorough discussion of cheerleaders' stereotypical status as "sex symbols" would be more NPOV than the blunt statement "Cheerleaders are often viewed as sex symbols." 66.82.9.87's edits might not have been the best writing in the world, but it is NOT "nonsense.""

Inherently point-of-view. The backbone of the sports team? "...supercedes the sexual overtones"? It may be true, but I have seen no evidence that this is how they are generally perceived, and some of my friends are cheerleaders. That change could certainly stay if cited appropriately but it just didn't ring true. I've never heard anyone describe cheerleaders as the backbone of the sports team, for example. --Yamla 19:36, 25 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I Would Die 4 U

Hiya. Noticed your edit for the Prince song I Would Die 4 U. You said that in recent concerts, Prince has substituted the lyric He's your messiah for the original I'm your messiah. While this is true, it is not something he's only recently started doing. He had been doing this, fairly regularly, even as far back as 1984 - and very regularly many years before he became a JW.
