The Elephant page has had a lot of vandalism recently, so I will need suitable proof of this fact before I will add it to the page. If you cannot provide me with a link, then it will not be added. When the page is unprotected, please do not add it yourself without prior proof as it will probably be removed. Thanks. Billz (Talk) 21:22, 1 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This is misinformation, and originated on the Stephen Colbert show. This is the reason why I have semi-protected the page, and on en: several dozen pages have had to be protected for the same reason. Blockinblox 00:28, 2 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

If anyone is interested, clips of the segment in question are here and here (Flash). Freshstart 03:09, 2 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for pointing this out. I have restored the original content. This vandalism was somehow left uncaught for 2 months! :O --George (Talk · Contribs · CentralAuth · Log) 18:07, 14 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
