[edit] Requested move

September 28, 2005:

Requesting that this page be renamed to "Evite" to since the name "EVite" was apparently an error.

  • Support - I asked for it, so I should support it. Presumably the original anonymous editor from 24.9.113.28 supports it too, since they asked for the move in an edit summary to EVite: Need help changing 'EVite' title to 'Evite'. Mike Dillon 02:31, 28 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Support. — Dale Arnett 21:31, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Discussion

Add any additional comments

The name EVite was an error by an anonymous editor at 24.9.113.28 on August 4. That same user then started editing Evite on August 31 and left a comment asking for the article to be moved from EVite to Evite. Later on August 31, User:Aaron Brenneman merged the contents into EVite when they should have been merged into Evite. Mike Dillon 02:31, 28 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Decision

This article has been renamed as the result of a move request. Ryan Norton T | @ | C 10:25, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Externalization of links

External links to pages can be of competitors, provided they to have similar services. eBulawa.com definitely fits into External Links category. On top of that eBulawa is for Indians in particular and asians at large.

Regarding these three changes:

  • Evite is comparable specifically to Yahoo!’s upcoming.org (which Yahoo! recently acquired). Evite is not really comparable to Yahoo! more broadly.
  • Since Wikipedia has articles for Yahoo!, upcoming.org, and Meetup.com, it seems to me to make sense to link to them rather than directly to the external site; while the eventful.com and SureToMeet.com articles don't yet exist, creating the wikilinks to them may spur those articles' creation (see Special:Wantedpages).

Agreed. The "External links" section should only be for external links to pages about the subject of the article, not competitors. None of the removed links have information about Evite, so they don't belong in Evite's article. Mike Dillon 16:31, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Evite spam

Does anyone know: is there any sane way to report Evite spam to Evite? Recently, I've been getting hit with spam evites from corporate chain bars. Not only that, but they've been coming, not to my personal account, but to that of a Crisis Resource Directory I edit, whose email address is intended mainly for corrections to the directory or queries about resources for people in crisis. Clearly, someone is using Evite as a method of sending spam, but I see nothing on their site about how to report such abuse. - Jmabel | Talk 19:37, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

Try emailing abuse@evite.com. Mike Dillon 21:21, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
