editAs creator, I am happy for this article to be merged and then for it to become a redirect. Dfrg.msc 09:03, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
Mob IQ??
editTHIS ENTIRE ARTICLE IS INSANE BULLSHIT. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Churnice (talk • contribs) 08:20, 10 March 2013 (UTC) I have no idea how to find Mob IQ and I think this section doesn't make sense. Can anyone explain it to me?--Taida 19:32, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
Double redirect?
editOne of the disambiguation links (called "mob, an unruly group of people.") redirects to another disambiguation page, and selecting the same definition there come back here. Can we fix this? Mermaid from the Baltic Sea 01:22, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
- I see what happened now. The original redirect was undone, so I redid it. Mermaid from the Baltic Sea 01:25, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
A user is unhappy that I reinstated the redirect
editSo here is the extended explanation. For one thing, the concensus at Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Angry_mob had been a redirect to Ochlocracy, a fact which I discovered in the course of trying to untangle why I was being sent in circles when I was on the unredirected page and I selected from the disambiguation list "mob, an unruly group of people" I was sent to ANOTHER disambiguation page at mob, and then when I selected "Angry mob" I was sent back to where I had started it all. You see the problem with two disambiguation pages which just send you back and forth between them? You end up moving in circles. Plus, talking between just two people on a user talk page usually doesn't supercede a concensus formed from an AfD discussion. Mermaid from the Baltic Sea 23:24, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
Delete this?
editI think that even as a redirect this is inappropriate, and have brought the matter to RFD. - Jmabel | Talk 18:02, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

Just to resurrect this dead talk page...
editAs one of my first edits, I'll run through this page and try to do something about the neutrality. After reading a few lines, it seems to be biased in favour of, as they call it, "angry mobs", and as such I think it needs more of the other side of the argument.
As I said, I'll run through it, but if a site admin would like to run through after me I'd be most grateful, if they indeed exist. Maxiaxie (talk) 14:43, 9 September 2012 (UTC)
What the buggernuts is this?
editAll there seems to be on this page is some drivel about "UHBAMAH'S EVIL SOCIALIST MARXIST COMMUNIST FASCIST ELITIST PROPOGANDAAA!!!1!one11one!!!" If I wanted that, I'd go to conservapedia. Can we have something actually relevant or factual,please? Anything with "Jews Occupying Wall Street" as a 'source' is clearly written by the tinfoil hat brigade. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.69.200.30 (talk) 14:30, 13 February 2013 (UTC)
- Well, you're entirely right. You seem to be very passionate about the state of this article, so why not pop onto google, gather up some sources, and help out. With your help, who knows? This could be the next featured article of Wikipedia...!! :D--Coin945 (talk) 14:36, 13 February 2013 (UTC)
- Alright, I'll bite. I haven't got anything more than high school textbooks to base this on, though. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.69.200.30 (talk) 17:18, 13 February 2013 (UTC)
- According to the Wikipedia page on identifying reliable sources, "textbooks [alongside other neat stuff like academic and peer-reviewed publications or scholarly monographs] are usually the most reliable sources". So, you're good to go. :D I can't say this is my area of specialty - although I have attempted to improve this page in the past - so I'll try to help you out as best as I can.--Coin945 (talk) 17:30, 13 February 2013 (UTC)

Redirect
editI hope I was not too WP:Bold, but I redirected this article to Mobbing. This is the correct article on this phenomenon. Note that all mobs are angry. BigJim707 (talk) 17:03, 27 February 2017 (UTC)
