But the real problem came when I happened to look at the Wikipedia page for clickbait. (Can't be bothered to give you a link; you can find it.) The article starts with the same six words. This set off my plagiarism alarm, of course. (The author was not one of the usual suspects.) With all the recent fighting over plagiarism and originality, I decided that that word had to go. By the way, I looked at the WP page only to check that I wasn't describing the completely wrong phenomenon. I always do my own writing.

:Thanks. I don't mind removing the "pejorative" term if there's a good reason for doing that. My problem with removing it was that it was one of the few CP links in the article.
:By the way, would you please cite the sources that you used to edit this article? It would be nice if we could see the sources you worked with (I don't disbelieve anything that you wrote, but it's always nice to cite sources (CP Commandment #2). --[[User:1990'sguy|1990'sguy]] ([[User talk:1990'sguy|talk]]) 16:29, 10 September 2017 (EDT)
