Um, a not-notable blog? If you kill the entry for Valleywag, can you please also be sure to kill the entries for these non-notable print counterparts:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Enquirer http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OK%21_magazine http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hello_Magazine

just to name a few. --agreed, this article should be kept.

Keep. --Nick Douglas 21:11, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

As much as I hate Valleywag, it's definetly noteworthy.

Maybe more suitable as a redirect to Gawker Media. I vote not for deletion, but for redirection to Gawker Media page, pulling edits along with it-- Joe Crawford

As the editor of Valleywag, may I suggest including information from the San Francisco Chronicle profile (published in early February) or L.A. Times profile? --Nick Douglas 00:15, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] by the book

We're going to do this article "by the book", aren't we? Nothing else is to be tolerated. We don't play games with encyclopedia content no matter how big of a stick the subject of an article has poked us with. Lawrence Cohen § t/e 22:08, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

Lawrence, I respect you, but I find the suggestion I would do anything but by the book to be unfair. The criticism section I drafted is completely sourced, and the lead drew from the sources found in the body. I simply had not transposed the refs up top. The body that is unsourced was not written by me. --David Shankbone 23:07, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

I love you too, David, and it wasn't directed at you specifically. Some users here have a habit of attacking criticizers via article space. I just wanted to put folks on notice, is all. Lawrence Cohen § t/e 23:12, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Wales as co-founder of Wikipedia

I just corrected that material in the article. Thank you. --70.109.223.188 (talk) 13:17, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Why did you do that. Thanks, SqueakBox 14:16, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Because this is why he is notable. Why do you want to remove the fact that he is co-founder from every article that he is mentioned in? --70.109.223.188 (talk) 14:50, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
