Vandalism, or: AJ isn't cool.[edit]

I've restored this page to the previous version and whatnot, since the whole text of the article had been changed to "AJ is cool". Theseaweedking 01:35, 22 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Obscurity[edit]

Wow. This article reaches a new Wikipedia high for obscurity, and that's no small feat.209.29.90.40 07:42, 11 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted "How to"[edit]

I have deleted a rather large section showing how to construct a millwall brick. My main reason for this is that Wikipedia is not an instruction manual. Please see W:WWIN for more details. My other reason is that it might lead someone to construct one and hurt someone with it. --Ghostexorcist 18:10, 31 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That is a silly reason; especially as it's linked to by Bruce Schneier for that very reason: http://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2007/07/improvised_weap.html. I added the section back. 75.119.224.201 (talk) 01:35, 29 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I have also deleted a soccer hooligan chant. The source was from a forum, which is not reliable scholarly source.--Ghostexorcist 18:17, 31 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Getting a reilable sour for football chant's on a specific subject would be tricky, and probaby not worth the effort, noting it without examples might be worth including.

I've replace some of what was removed, as it was a description of the weapon & its variations, so inherently relevant, it would be like only saying 'kayaks are a type of boat' in that article and not going into key parts of the design. The text on how to make one and the image are fair removals though. --Nate1481(^t/_c) 08:50, 1 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

cultural reference-Alien (1979)?[edit]

Is a Millwall Brick what Ash the robot makes from a magazine to try to kill Ripley in the first Alien movie? Should it be listed here? 2603:6011:7045:9900:7936:A4D6:93BD:F8C6 (talk) 12:23, 6 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
