Talk:43 Things
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The phrase "Amazon.com has not confirmed whether they are porting their whole website to use the Ruby programming language or if they actually let small companies they invest in make their own decisions." belongs in tabloid journalism, not an encyclopedia.
Please promote your programming language du jour elsewhere. huh!
Amazon.com has also not confirmed whether they are planning to murder all their employees and replace them with oompa loompas, but I don't feel that is notable either.

[edit] Salon.com CEO resignation
The article seems to suggest that the Mieszkowski debacle may have had something to do with David Talbot's resignation as CEO.
The fact that Talbot remains as the chair of Salon's corporate board; that the resignation from CEO position happened on the day Salon posted profit for the first time; and that a permanent successor was named immediately make this hypothesis very unconvincing.[1]
[edit] Controversy?
This whole controversy section is idiotic. This doesn't seem like the sort of factual information that belongs in an encyclopedia.
The real beauty of Wikipedia is the massive wealth of knowledge available for those willing to take the time to actually look. My search for knowledge, answers and social contacts have been increased so much with the great care and hard work of the authors of these very important articles. People like yourself who take the time to add so many helpful links and explain things so clearly are a blessing. I have felt like I have just found a library that has been hidden to me for so long. Thank you sir for all your efforts and valuable information.

[edit] Category:Conspiracy theories
I removed this category from the article. Its inclusion here makes no sense to me whatsoever, after reading the current article. But I thought I should make a note of it since it looks like it's been here a long time. Grandmasterka 04:05, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:43things logo.gif
I found Image:43things logo.gif and noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. Someone will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If it was obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.
As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self-no-disclaimers}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If there are other files on this page, consider checking that they have specified their source and are tagged properly, too. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 05:10, 26 May 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:43things logo.gif
Image:43things logo.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.Betacommand (talk • contribs • Bot) 05:10, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] In need of references
The page currently has no references. I have found the URL to the official blog stating that they have reached 1 million members in April 2007 (http://blog.robotcoop.com/2007/04/27/43-things-has-gone-platinum/). The blog also confirms a few other statements found in the Wikipedia entry (although the "43 Things Launches!" entry is dated one day before what the article says.
