Reference to Kilroy Was Here
editThis guy kinda reminds me of the "Kilroy Was Here" joke, where the graffiti ended up all over the world. The humor's based on the obsurdity of places in which the graffiti/tourist is found. ElijahD 21:20, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
- Also, the movie "The Thrill Seekers" (http://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/Thrill_Seekers_(film)) features a guy who shows up at various disasters. I think there are more similar items. It would be nice to put all these together in a section of this article, or maybe even their own article... but what to call it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Friendly person (talk • contribs) 01:03, 15 May 2010 (UTC)
Photos would be helpful
editSince this is an article about the photo it would be nice to show it, A before and after type thing so the doctoring effect would work. Benjiboi 00:29, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
Browsing category of Internet memes

Original airplane picture...

New cleanup tag
editWithout getting into the notability debate (see prev AfDs) this could use better inline sources, is the KKK picture notable or in any way more than some random person's photoshop job? And is there a better name for this article than 'Tourist guy' ? ― Padenton|✉ 20:32, 30 March 2015 (UTC)
- I will get rid of the KKK image. 118.93.85.100 (talk) 23:02, 24 April 2015 (UTC)
Importance of Article
editIt is truly amazing that such superficial, niche topics like this are important enough to be given a Wikipedia article, but articles on the Mexico City Congressional Attack and the George Washington Bridge Bomb Plot, both of which nearly killed hundreds of people, and both which have articles on historycommons.org, are absent due to a "lack of notability." 2600:1012:B12E:8BCC:68E4:8362:93AF:70EB (talk) 22:34, 23 March 2022 (UTC)
- It was something which was extremely well-known for a relatively brief period, like Hampster Dance, Mahir Cagri, etc. etc. Wikipedia is not currently constrained by disk space. AnonMoos (talk) 03:11, 24 March 2022 (UTC)
