Against: 2
  1. Symbol against vote.svg Against. Author Sequence in 2009 structured this not as an encyclopedia article but as a sales pitch (indeed, apparently with a black insurance salesman: "We be living in a very dangerous time"). Despite prepending an encyclopedia-like Intro (which helpfully? discloses that this is an article about a fraud), the result is stand-up or a stage play. Spıke Ѧ 12:18 1-Jan-15
  2. Symbol against vote.svg Against. I agree with SPIKE. Shifting from one format to another is confusing and detracts from the article. --Talk to me! Sir Xam Ralco the Mediocre 04:51, January 9, 2015 (UTC)
Comments:
  • Comment. Eliminate the first paragraph and keep the rest. It's really good without the context shift as others mentioned. I especially like the automatic username insertion in the "The contract" section; clever! Chunkles (talk) 22:15, March 5, 2015 (UTC)
    To the contrary! most use of {{USERNAME}} is not clever but "stagnant" and discouraged in Sec. 9 of HTBFANJS. This use is not an overt prank, but certainly not a feature. Spıke Ѧ 22:26 5-Mar-15
    Ah, okay, I was unfamiliar with that. To be honest, this was the first time I've ever encountered its usage since I joined. Chunkles (talk) 05:42, March 6, 2015 (UTC)
  • I have now eliminated the first paragraph and made what is now the Intro flow better. I moved the photo to the left in order to keep {{Wikipedia}} on the right, as the fact that there is an actual article on WP:Alien abduction insurance is a key to this article. Am still neither comfortable with the use of the shuck-and-jive dialect nor ready to rewrite the article entirely. Spıke Ѧ 22:33 5-Mar-15
  • Comment. There's a weird gap with something missing in "The Solution" part. "Now you know me. You know that the [gap] Say one day...." Admin DAP Dame Pleb Com. Miley Spears (talk) 04:08, April 6, 2015 (UTC)
