diaper punishment

Should the link Diaper Fetishism be deleted as it redirects back to Diaper Lover?

I do not believe so, no. Diaper Fetish is a very common term describing Diaper Lovers. It appears the only time that a diaper is viewed as a fetish item is shunned upon, is for infantalism, in a way to avoid conflicts with pedophilia.

External Links

The following can be found at Wikipedia:External links:
What should be linked to

1. Official sites should be added to the page of any organization, person, or other entity that has an official site.
2. Sites that have been cited or used as references in the creation of a text. Intellectual honesty requires that any site actually used as a reference be cited. To fail to do so is plagiarism.
3. If a book or other text that is the subject of an article exists somewhere on the Internet it should be linked to.
4. On articles with multiple Points of View, a link to sites dedicated to each, with a detailed explanation of each link. The number of links dedicated to one POV should not overwhelm the number dedicated to any other. One should attempt to add comments to these links informing the reader of what their POV is.
5. High content pages that contain neutral and accurate material not already in the article. Ideally this content should be integrated into the Wikipedia article at which point the link would remain as a reference.

What should not be linked to

1. Wikipedia disapproves strongly of links that are added for advertising purposes. Adding links to one's own page is strongly discouraged. The mass adding of links to any website is also strongly discouraged, and any such operation should be raised at the Village Pump or other such page and approved by the community before going ahead. Persistently linking to one's own site is considered Vandalism and can result in sanctions. See also External link spamming.
2. Links to a site that is selling products, unless it applies via a "do" above.

Thus I've removed a few links. If you want to add them back in, please refer to the above (or note other applicable guideline pages) in discussions here first. brenneman^(t)(c) 04:03, 18 July 2005 (UTC)

Moved here:

• Diaper Pail Friends-The very first publicly available "forum" for people with this fetish to communicate with one another. Began as a Newsletter sent via USMail and evolved into a website with the advent of the internet.
• Daily Diapers-An online community for ABDLs

Adult Sites

I wanted to address a point of contention. Firstly, when I changed Brenneman's comments, they weren't intended to vandalize the page. Sorry about that. The first deletion was a mistake. I wasn't trying to remove it. The second was what I intended to do: Change it to make it more accurate. Again, sorry for the confusion. DPF first of all is an adult site. "people" is an all encompassing term meaing adults, teens, children, etc. I realize it's nit-picky but taking the infantilism page and this page here at Wikipedia into account, both basically state that the paraphilia can be discovered in adolescence and even childhood coupled with the fact that more and more kids are getting online, it's probably a good idea to make the distinction particulary clear. Those sites are fine and dandy for adults but not for youngsters. —preceding unsigned comment by 68.81.106.187 (talk • contribs)

No harm, no foul. If I'd thought you had vandalism in your black heart, I would have put something other than {{anon}} on your talk page! There are two reasons I reverted your (second, purposeful) change. One is that it was inside a signed comment on a talk page, those are mostly considered sancrosect. The accpeted practice if to do as you've done here and present a different viewpoint while leaving the original intact. Which is, confusingly, exatcly the opposite to what the practice is on a main page, to just make the change and let the chips fall where they may. The second reason is that I was actaully reproducing the text as it had been on the main page, a quote if you will. And welcome again to Wikipedia!

Unsourced Material

I've copied here the material that was unsourced/unreferenced.

• It is believed that a majority of diaper lovers are male, however recent studies show a growing number of females participating in diaper wearing activites.
• A desire to wear diapers may be first created whilst a person is still very young, during periods of emotional turbulence in their family, such as diaper punishment for accidents, or a reluctance to be potty trained, or the person has been potty trained too early or too late. In many cases, though, there is no apparent cause. Before puberty these desires are largely dormant in most of those affected, but during the period of approx 8-15 years of age the person becomes aware of an attraction to diapers, and sometimes will act upon this attraction in various ways, such as using diapers from younger siblings or buying some for themselves and using them. Many young diaper lovers also employ make-shift diapers such as folded towels with plastic pants fashioned from trash bags.
• The Diaper Lover also usually feels extreme comfort wearing diapers and for elder Diaper Lovers it can become a substite for underwear.

If you want this material is to be re-inserted, please discuss it here.

Simple answer. Wiki is open sourced and information is added by people who know about a subject. Thus, community trust is needed and people who know something about this subject edit it in constructive ways and makes sure it is not incorrect. Citing all the sources would make wiki a place for elite experts and not every day users. Also, all the rules are guidelines, not rules for exsistance. The article just wont be a featured article, but it still has worth. I am reverting the article and asking Inter to step in again. --OrbitOne 11:51, 5 August 2005 (UTC)

Sorry bud, but Wikipedia does not allow original research. And I do not see the logic behind the statement that citing sources makes wikipedia a place for elite experts. It doesn't take a genius to site a source. Where did you get your knowledge from? Where did you read this information? It's not hard; you pick up a book, read it, get the information, put it on here in your own words, and then tell us where that information came from. If that takes an elite expert then I guess I'm way out of my depth already. Sometimes you don't need to cite a source, sometimes the information is common knowledge - sometimes it needs to be cited regardless of how well known it is. The "original research" exception is if you have witnessed the existance of, for instance lets say an abandoned building, and you noted some of it's features, then made an article on it here, that would not be considered original research and would not require you to cite your source, because you would merely be reporting the existance of something that can be verified easily by a photograph or a visit to the site. However claiming that you have noticed x y and z about the building and publishing a theory about it on wikipedia WOULD be considered original research, and that is not allowed. Also, if you were to make a claim, for instance that the queen mother's brother lived in the building for 2 years, you would have to site your sources because that's something that cannot simply be taken on face value, which is when you cite your source. --Badharlick 11:27, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

Panalphilia?

A [Google search] for "panalphilia" only gives two references to Wikipedia. Where else is this term used? BitterGrey 04:11, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
