Talk:Squidoo
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
THIS IS SPAMOLA CRAP and a FAILED attempt at trying to be the millionth article. Should be removed immediately!
I've undeleted this since it doesn't seem like a candidate for speedy deletion to me. It's not written like an advert, it was created by a genuine user with many other edits, and it's a notable website (Alexa rank over 4000). Angela. 23:23, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks Angela. Yes, I was going for one million; however, I wasn't trying to cause controversy. Alex Krupp 00:34, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
It WAS written like an ad, but I deleted that part. Mocheeze 23:30, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] FAILED ATTEMPT AT ONE MILLIONTH ARTICLE!
Since number 999,999 was deleted, this was the millionth article!
- Actually, there more were deleted afterwards and probably more will be deleted in the future, too. But it's the first article that became 1,000,000th that counts. bogdan 00:03, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
- This honour actually belongs to Jordanhill railway station. --Slgrandson 00:17, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
- I have a feeling that, if this had been #1000000, the WikiGods would have changed the timetables so that something less commercial won.--M@rēino 00:26, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
Pretty transparent attempt at free advertising. Ziggur 00:36, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
- To clarify, I created the article. While Squidoo is a company, I am not an employee and do not stand to profit. Alex Krupp 00:48, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
- Don't stand to profit... oh really? Isn't that their business model? Share half of their revenue (after expenses and 5% to charity) with their users... ;) Not that it really matters, it is a notable article and should be in wikipedia anyway. Do you have a lense? PaulC/T+ 02:13, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
- Yes, I am a Squidoo user. However, all of the money generated during the beta test is donated to charity. Alex Krupp 02:30, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WTH??
How come this is known as the 1,000,001st article it was created on October 10th? I don't understand, and I looked at it in March, and didn't see that prior history before. How was this accomplished? --Shultz IV 05:22, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
- It was deleted and then recreated. Alex Krupp 13:56, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
