[edit] Explanation for Non-Wikipedians

English: The comic is a parody of the wide-spread Citation needed template on the English Wikipedia. Its message is that politicians should state their sources (and stop telling lies), just like Wikipedia tries to.

Deutsch: Der Comic ist eine Parodie auf die in der Englischen Wikipedia weitverbreitete Vorlage Citation needed (Zitat/Quelle benötigt) . Die Aussage ist, dass Politiker besser auch ihre Quellen nennen sollten (anstatt zu lügen), genauso wie Wikipedia es versucht.

Français : Cette bande-dessinée est une parodie du modèle Citation needed (dont l'équivalent français est fr:Modèle:Référence nécessaire) largement répandu sur Wikipédia. Le message est que les politiciens devraient citer leurs sources (et arrêter de mentir), comme la politique de Wikipédia.

Español :: El cómic es una parodia de la plantilla Citation needed, equivalente a la española es:Plantilla:Cita requerida. El mensaje es que los políticos deberían citar sus fuentes y dejar de contar mentiras, al igual que trata de hacer Wikipedia.

Polski: Obrazek jest parodią szablonu Fakt, szeroko stosowanego w Wikipedii. Jego przesłaniem jest że politycy winni podawać źródła swych twierdzeń (i przestać kłamać), tak jak Wikipedia próbuje to czynić.

한국어: 이 만화는 널리 알려진 틀 출처를 이용한 패러디입니다. 이것이 담고있는 메시지는 정치인들은 그들이 말할 때 출처를 밝히라는 것(그리고 거짓말은 그만 하라는 것)입니다. 위키백과에서 하고 있는 것처럼 말이죠.
