Why in the world was my information about the album and it's reference to quim removed from this article? The function if editing wikipedia articles is to make them better, not to censor, and I can only presume since my statement was factual in nature but you removed it anyway that you either A: were offended by it and removed it because of that, or B: you felt it was not relevant. If B, I would expect you to answer why, please. Otherwise I'll continue to re-add it until you stop removing it for absolutely no justifiable reason. Pacian 08:43, 20 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- I can find no reference on any web page to the song being about vaginal fluids. You must provide a reference to support your claim. If you do not provide a reference, the content will continue to be reverted. And even if you can provide a reference, I'm pretty sure quim isn't a useful way to express the point, since there are countless more current and common terms for vaginal fluids than that.

- What do you do when something is accepted common knowledge and someone, such as yourself, doesn't know about it and therefore demands some kind of reference. First, consider the lyrics: "let your good stuff rain down on me," "how's about joinin' my lovin' session,' "take me down where the love honey flows" and "gonna wallow in the lovin' hollow"? Take also into consideration the music video wherein the band is standing around as giant vagina-shaped pipes pour down soapy foam onto their heads. Sometimes there is no direct and explicit reference for something: sometimes things just *ARE*. I'm putting it back in. Pacian 12:23, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- What you do is you find a reference to prove it. If it's common knowledge, then it won't be that hard to find one. Bearcat 08:42, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
- And actually as a sidebar, your inaquaintence with the term quim doesn't make invalid or unacceptable as a word for use in an encyclopedia. Naturally you would have been welcome to just change it to something else, but just because something is out of common use doesn't make it WRONG or BAD. It's thinking like that which will make our children's children think that the proper way to speak is to AX someone a question. Pacian 12:26, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- My "inaquaintence" with the term isn't the issue. We have readers to think about, readers who don't have what you claim as "common knowledge" about the song and its video. Besides, I'm really not clear that a band comprising two gay men and a straight woman would really be singing an ode to sex with a woman, given that none of them would be having sex with a woman.

- "Good Stuff" is definitely NOT well-known to be about a woman's fluids ... that's your own personal opinion. I agree that you need a reference for that claim.
I hope this is the right place to mention this. It may not even be a wikipedia problem. Trillian's tooltip wikipedia reference for good stuff shows the disambiguation page for ECU. Clicking it as a link correctly brings one here.
