Rpeh may have been a pain in many ways (his post will come soon) but he did do useful stuff too, not least removing idiotic "easter eggs" from articles. He used the sensible definition from http://www.eeggs.com/ . To paraphrase that link, it says that an item is only an easter egg if it is "Undocumented, Hidden, and Non-Obvious; Reproducible; Put There by the Creators for Personal Reasons; Not Malicious and ENTERTAINING!" (their caps).
Let's take a look at the latest one to appear on UESP. First, note that UESP's resident Mr Stupid, Ratwar, is OCD enough to spot the missing period from the new note, but not that the post refers to the wrong fairy tale - something fixed by another anon.
And so far, that's where it stands.
Well please correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't recall Snow White dropping dead due to what UESP describes as "Deadly Poison (Script Effect)". Could both my memory and Wikipedia be wrong when both state that she falls asleep (or into a "deep stupor" as WP puts it)?
Or could it be the sort of incorrect, "Look at me!" useless, non-easter egg that Rpeh would have removed without blinking?
If this is the sort of rubbish that UESP is going to accept now, then the site is in more trouble than I realised.
