[edit] Internet radio

I put the tag a while time ago, probably on a hunt for spam in technology related articles. There were and are still multiple issues with the history section. It is long (too long), has tons of red links, and used to have tons of external links in the text that should be either removed, changed to wikilinks when possible, or made into references (cites) when appropriate.

First and foremost, I would recommend a big trim. It appears common in articles on recent and emerging technologies that a history section is made up with relatively recent news (often company X made up product A, then company Y developped product B, country Z started using tech C, company X release A 2.0, etc) that just pile up over time without much consideration to what is really historically significant. I am no expert on internet radio, but someone with deeper knowledge of the subject should be able to summarize all this info to the essential breakthroughs and developments. Once that trim is done, the red links (either removed or new articles should be written for them), external links and citation issues should be much easier to fix.--Boffob (talk) 02:56, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProjects

I see that you've been spending a lot of time editing the internet radio article. You might want to consider joining WikiProject Radio or WikiProject Internet culture. Just a suggestion! ♥Shapiros10WuzHere♥ 14:57, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Your userpage

It seems kind of drab. Do you know what userboxes are? I can also make some for you. ♥Shapiros10WuzHere♥ 23:09, 17 March 2008 (UTC) PS Would you also like me to design you a new signature?

Thanks for the offer. I think of my page and signature as more "clean" than "drab". While I probably wouldn't turn down userboxes or a sig, I really am OK with the plainness of what I have. SlubGlub (talk) 16:06, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
