The Elephant page has had a lot of vandalism recently, so I will need suitable proof of this fact before I will add it to the page. If you cannot provide me with a link, then it will not be added. When the page is unprotected, please do not add it yourself without prior proof as it will probably be removed. Thanks. Billz (Talk) 21:22, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

This is misinformation, and originated on the Stephen Colbert show. This is the reason why I have semi-protected the page, and on en: several dozen pages have had to be protected for the same reason. Blockinblox 00:28, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
