Talk:South African spies suspended

Witty title, but potentially offensive

There are several layering idiomatic usages of the term "Spooks", which might be considered offensive to some readers, especially those of african-american (USA) descent. Is there any way to indicate in the title that this is related to the leadership struggle within the ANC? - Amgine / ^talk 01:12, 25 October 2005 (UTC)

Wow, thanks. I've never even heard of the term spooks used outside of ghosts and intelligence agents. --Wolfrider 01:26, 25 October 2005 (UTC)

<grin> I'm a bit of a word person, but I didn't think you lived in the USA/SE so you might not have heard the term. See spook on dictionary.reference. - Amgine / ^talk 01:31, 25 October 2005 (UTC)

• Haha. Thanks. I've already checked it out. None of my friends knew either. Would you still prefer the title to reflect the ANC conflict? --Wolfrider 01:32, 25 October 2005 (UTC)

MMmm... I think you did a good job bringing it up within the article, and using the word "spies" in the title, while sensationalistic, it does bring the attention to the government/politics side of the events. I think it works as is. - Amgine / ^talk 01:37, 25 October 2005 (UTC)

Thanks. If you have any problems with the story don't hesitate to notify me. --Wolfrider 01:39, 25 October 2005 (UTC)
