Wookieepedia:Trash compactor/Breast-related articles

In case some of you don't know, April Fools' this year was quite eventful. We had a modified version of the article "breast" showcased on the Main Page. Not only was it distasteful, offensive and sexist, it understandably also stirred controversy among the fandom, notably on Twitter and the Jedi Council Forums, to the best of my knowledge.

The controversy, damaging as it was to our reputation, had a positive effect, however, which was to question even why we have articles on breasts and brassieres (!) at all. Wookieepedia is a Star Wars encyclopedia. We do not have articles on feet, elbows or chins. Why are breasts so essential to be kept? This has been a contentious issue in the past (this is the second nomination for deletion), which attests to the dubious decision to have articles on female sexuality on a, let me repeat, Star Wars wiki.

We cannot take back what was said, but we can make an effort to show both the Star Wars fandom and Lucasfilm that not all of us agree with what has been done. To be noted, there was no formal process of voting or prior discussion on the matter. Some users took it upon themselves to alter the Main Page of a highly visited website, without regards to what the rest of the community thought. Same with the "press release", that, even though makes it clear it's only one administrator's opinion, was tweeted by Wookieepedia's official Twitter account, effectively endorsing it (again, without any discussion on the wiki).

Let this serve both as an user's sincere apologies to our readers, but also the nomination for deletion of an article that should have been eliminated way back in 2007. In lieu of these recent events, I feel compelled to speak out and have it on record that not all Wookieepedians are supportive what has been said and done in the past few days.

Nipples are uneventful. Just go away.

Absolutely un-notable. Metallic bras are not unique.
