(You literally just got back from your second ban for removing this. What could possibly be going through your mind to make you think this would be acceptable a third time?) |

This is often quickly seen and reverted by good-faith contributors, but two incidents have stood out in the site's history. '''The Great Bulbapedia Turkey Shoot''' is the first, and was for a long period of time documented for its historicity. The second, more recent spate is unnamed, although it was once jokingly referred to as '''The Great Bulbapedia Turkey Shoot II: Back for Dessert'''.<ref>[http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/showthread.php?t=37837&page=3 Turkey Shoot II]</ref> The Turkey Shoot had its own article on the site for a fairly long period of time, but many people, both general users and staff alike, found the article to be of questionable notability. The {{bp|staff}} of Bulbapedia held a vote in late March of 2012 and decided the article was no longer worth keeping. | ||
