Mike Posted April 5, 2006 Report Posted April 5, 2006 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Songfacts I started the ball rolling, now if someone with more web skills than me would polish this baby, I'd appreciate it. Thanks, Mike
Tenacious_Peaches Posted April 5, 2006 Report Posted April 5, 2006 MIKE! You are a genius! I love me some Wikipedia. Bless you for getting this started.
RonJonSurfer Posted April 5, 2006 Report Posted April 5, 2006 It appears as though they might delete SF for various reasons....it is a great idea....can we salvage this?
Lucky Posted April 5, 2006 Report Posted April 5, 2006 It seems they don't like something. RE: they say it reads as an advertisement. Maybe redo the last paragraph??
Mike Posted April 5, 2006 Author Report Posted April 5, 2006 It seems they don't like something. RE: they say it reads as an advertisement. Maybe redo the last paragraph?? I changed it, but... I don't get it, look at CNN , or Rolling Stone You telling me these aren't ADVERTISEMENTS? ...oh, OK then!!?
RonJonSurfer Posted April 5, 2006 Report Posted April 5, 2006 Are you telling me that the collective clout of SF isn't greater than CNN and Rolling Stone??? This smells of favoritism at the highest levels.
Levis Posted April 5, 2006 Report Posted April 5, 2006 Why is there no link? What if people come see and can't go?
edna Posted April 5, 2006 Report Posted April 5, 2006 I think just like Radhi, there should be a link to Songfacts...
Mike Posted April 5, 2006 Author Report Posted April 5, 2006 Why is there no link? What if people come see and can't go? Do we really want people here who don't know how to open Google and type songfacts? Consider this carefully.
Levis Posted April 6, 2006 Report Posted April 6, 2006 But it'd be so much easier to go straight from there. Convenience issues, you see. We should show them how concerned we are about their comfort thereby getting more visitors. How many people will actually GO to Google and do a manual search for Songfacts?
Kevin Posted April 7, 2006 Report Posted April 7, 2006 You've gotta think , though , that it is really for the amusement of the membership alone . I mean , really , how many people will honestly do a Wiki search of Songfacts , check that , and then decide to look in ...?
Earth-Angel Posted April 7, 2006 Report Posted April 7, 2006 I added to it, I added to it!! :happybanana: Everyone here can add to it, and help it to grow
Levis Posted April 7, 2006 Report Posted April 7, 2006 I thought of that, kevin but even so, its only natural to provide a link even if not many people will use it.
Carl Posted April 8, 2006 Report Posted April 8, 2006 (edited) Mike, thanks so much for doing this. It's something I've been keeping an eye on. You think our mods are tough, Wikipedia is brutal when it comes to editing. Everything needs to be very factual, so no references to the charming and strangely handsome guy who started it. More along the lines of: "Songfacts is a website containing song information..." To get an idea what they look for, check out: The Snopes page I'll give it a look and try to add some stuff. It should be noted that Wikipedia uses us as a source and links to us in about 100 entries, which provides a lot of traffic. Edited April 8, 2006 by Guest
Tenacious_Peaches Posted April 8, 2006 Report Posted April 8, 2006 Everything needs to be very factual, so no references to the charming and strangely handsome guy who started it. That fact doesn't need to be referred to, Carl. I believe it is already universally understood.
Kevin Posted April 8, 2006 Report Posted April 8, 2006 That'll teach 'em ... what ever happened to " you scratch my back and I'll scratch yours " ? }
Earth-Angel Posted April 8, 2006 Report Posted April 8, 2006 (edited) Well, they only deleted 3 things I added (about the monthly quiz and winning a clean and comfortable Songfacts T-shirt, we had a coolness rating and about the Songfacts games) BUT not before a good few people I know had seen it already hehehe It was Carl! What was wrong with what I added? Edited April 8, 2006 by Guest SHOCK!
Carl Posted April 8, 2006 Report Posted April 8, 2006 Now I feel like a doof for my slash and burn editing style. I took off the quiz stuff and cool site because I feared they would be seen as too promotional, since it was flagged because it looked like an advertisement. With the lyrical pursuit and song fallacies, I removed that because those are in transition. The plan is to give Lyrical Pursuit its own website once we do a little code cleanup and maybe do the same with Song Fallacies. Right now, they are hard to find because the code for the games crashes from time to time.
Tenacious_Peaches Posted May 31, 2006 Report Posted May 31, 2006 It appears that we've been updated again. More information and a little background on our fearless leader Carl. Spectacular! Songfacts on Wikipedia
Shawna Posted June 1, 2006 Report Posted June 1, 2006 wow... I've dined with a bonafide celebrity - twice!
