Request to edit protected page To remove the joke audio recording on the page --Pavithran (talk) 16:42, 21 January 2015 (UTC) This edit request has been answered. Set the See below. Chase me ladies, I'm the Cavalry (Message me) 16:45, 21 January 2015 (UTC) I answered- or I ans- parameter to no to reactivate your request. Unfortunately this has become viral and we have random folks saying keep just because it's funny. I'm hoping for some admin common sense here really --Pavithran (talk) 16:49, 21 January 2015 (UTC) No f------ way Removing this audio file only encourages racism. You don't like it because it does sound like your english dialect, English is a multicultural language, and wikimedia is a multicultural place, where all dialects can co-exist. If this is removed it would only aid in the destruction of wikipedia ideals. It would only be replaced with something that sounds more "white," but have no change in content. And now we are at the point where any change in content would only be added so that this file can be changed This is racism and I won't stand for it. Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.107.200.71 (talk) 20:03, 14 March 2015 (UTC I had a professor who had a very thick accent similar to this. This is not racism.-Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.199.37.101 (talk) 01:29, 19 March 2015 (UTC) This is simply a poor quality sound file that provides an inaccurate, and at points hard to understand, reading of the article. In my opinion it is not up to the standards acceptable to be on a Wikipedia article. The sound file has become an internet meme and needs removing unless you wish to deal with the influx of edits by children and trolls who have discovered this meme. Removal of a bad sound file has nothing to do with racism or race and I think it is utterly bizarre how you would refuse to remove a poor quality item from a page because it was produced by somebody of a certain nationality, in this case Bhutanese. This is my first ever post or edit on any Wikipedia page and I'm here because I wan't to warn you of what other internet users might do as this audio file becomes more viral and that it should be removed or replaced ASAP to prevent necessary edits or griefing by trolls. - Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.145.131.216 (talk) 17:00, 19 March 2015 (UTC) How about we have both the current audio file and one which is easier to understand? 98.192.15.85 (talk) 22:08, 21 March 2015 (UTC) Nobody has hit on the real truth in this discussion: the audio file sounds the way it does because it was edited to lengthen the vowels and mask the staccato nature of the Bhutan accent.
