about trees it's good to have a photo of a tree; if you're writing about music, it's good to have a sound clip. This is the same principle. Should we remove all the photos at [[Tree]] because they're not totally reprentative of all trees? It seems like the solution for [[Joke]] is to get an expert review, not to bulldoze a shabby but vibrant public space.
Totally agree with you. An article about jokes that does not have enough examples to illustrate the concept of a joke is remiss. On the other hand, an article about jokes that includes 50 examples is also in error.
