A Belgian website, with some unfair claims. http://www.medium4you.be/Les-recensements-bizarres-de.html ~Zythe 23:31, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

I can't read French, what does that say? Asarelah (talk) 18:33, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
It critics thoose kind of lists (Lesbians People, Jews, HIV, etc...) does it really belong in an encyclopedia ? http://translate.google.com/translate?js=y&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&layout=1&eotf=1&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.medium4you.be%2FLes-recensements-bizarres-de.html&sl=fr&tl=en —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.64.40.247 (talk) 20:28, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

Translation: (Okay so its not perfect, but its the best I can do with my software.) "One definitely finds "Completion" on Misplaced Pages, not just of certain things, but of everything. While reading the page of David Bowie, I thus fell on List of bisexual people. That is to say the kind of file which one can really wonder what it is truthfully useful. In addition to Bowie, one finds in this list several hundreds of names of celebrities of yesterday and today. Actors, singers, writers, sportsmen. Men and women whose bisexuality either is posted at the great day, or only supposed. That goes from Marlène Dietrich to Lady Gaga (Ben yes, c' is too tendency d' to be Bi!) while not passing Simone de Beauvoir, Janis Joplin, Fergie of Black Eyed Peas, Drew Barrymore and Angelina Jolie (ah good?). At the indexed men, let us quote Brett Anderson, Billie Joe Armstrong of Green Day, James Dean and Marlon Brando. (But oddly neither Iggy Pop, neither Lou Reed, nor Mick Jagger, however of the conquests allotted to Bowie…). It is known that the secret services collect information on the sexual preferences and manners of the personalities of the political world, the businesses and the showbiz, but does Misplaced Pages have to also play that? Which is the appreciation or the relevance of the trick? One can put the question… PS: Made checking, there also exists on Misplaced Pages List off gay and lesbian people. One also finds lists of Jews and HIV positives.'' 165.138.95.59 (talk) 13:44, 23 August 2010 (UTC)

My personal take is that lists of any kind don't belong in any encyclopedia. And I have often argued this point on many articles. A list, may however be included within an article; but it should only be used in relevancy to the topic of the article. First, an encyclopedia's purpose is to provide articles pertaining to a topic. However, lists of these sorts also pose another problem. They detract from verifiablity, and often include much supposition. They also question the nature of liability and responsibilty. In other words, who is holding Misplaced Pages responsible for producing private information about individuals? Whether that information is true or false; verifiable or supposed, is irrelevant to that question. Also many of the supposed "bisexual" people were taken out of context... even if they are verified. But in the words of Lavar Burton "You Don't have to take my word for it." Check the sources. 165.138.95.59 (talk) 13:55, 23 August 2010 (UTC)

I am inclined to agree, as an issue of general relevance. Absurdist1968 (talk) 23:53, 6 February 2013 (UTC)

Greta Christina

I got a source for her self-identifying as bisexual. See here: She is an American atheist blogger, speaker, and author, as her Misplaced Pages page says.

But I don't want to sign up with Misplaced Pages for an account. Can somebody add her to the list for me? Thanks so much.108.36.70.221 (talk) 18:52, 15 July 2015 (UTC)
