< Stupid, sarcastic, or OK? It’s definitely disgusting but that’s a different story. LOL
Sarcastic defiantly. But I have heard that in some countries they eat bugs. It could be fixed but until then, I won’t be trying this article. Maybe just edit
Thank you @WikihowSaver
… I was tempted to NFD it but I didn’t. I did not notice whether it required “copyedit”. I just paid attention on its content right away.

Anybody read How to Eat Fried Worms?
I would call this sarcastic/joke. Maybe even incomplete. This article seems to be promoting eating raw, live worms. This could be saved by expanding, copyediting, and adding a method of cooking, IMHO. Coz right now, this article could be potentially dangerous to readers of wikiHow.
@OoT2D
pls look at this discussion page: http://www.wikihow.com/Discussion:Eat-a-Worm
It said it was deleted in 2012. But WHY is it still there, in database?? I NFD’d it for “sar” and “inc”.

This is not the first time something like this has happened. Connected crime? Oops, detective side of me!
@ OoT2DOoT2D … ohhh are you a detective? Good for you!!! *wink*. Do you think this is really a vandalism? No, seriously… I am not kidding. How is it possible that the deleted articles came back?

The deletion was a previous version of that article; since then, it’s been rewritten by a different author with a different approach
But @Anna
, how is it different approach? Hmmm… To me it looks like Incomplete, joking, and sarcastic article suggesting to use raw worms. And this is pretty dangerous for those folks who never did it.

Well, just because this version of the article was written as a joke doesn’t mean all versions would be. In general, any valid topic on wikiHow can be rewritten even if it was deleted before. Some folks out there do in fact eat some types of worms - and we have an existing article
on that - so I’ve adjusted the NFD to dup instead
I think that article could even use expanding if anyone was game to edit! Some resources might come in handy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entomophagy

Ohhhh… yeah, @Anna
, it IS a duplicate. The first article is more complete, though also suggest eating raw worms. .

No, I’m not a detective, @Laura7491
, LOL. I wish I was, though.
Here’s another instance of this problem happening: http://forums.wikihow.com/discussion/14320/article-has-problems-staying-deleted/#Item_4
@Hibou8
said it was repeatedly deleted and rewritten for the same reasons, every single time.
@OoT2D
, I thought it was your nature to be a detective (if not a profession. LOL) As I understood this “worm” article was re-edited, corrected to save it . To me it still looks joking and sarcastic though. =) Krystle said it was a duplicate to another article and she tagged “dup”. Now I wonder if it’s deleted as duplicate will it stay deleted. LOL
I’ll give it a go on the weekend. Let’s save this article!
