    [edit] POV

    I deleted this blatant POV, it seems to be too obviously POV, and i don't think it's necessarily true either, as a BOL listener. "Also encourage the prolateriat to organize against the evil capitalism that Microsoft represents so that we might once have a society in which there are no rich or poor people." Sound good? --Alexbrewer 03:13, 27 June 2006 (UTC)


    "Have been known to report rumors, innuendo, gossip, hearsay as fact. Reports should be taken in the context of an anti-business bias." Should we keep that or delete it? In my opinion it's not true (of course they're speculating a lot - but they say "it's just a rumor"), or can anyone give an example? "Anti-business bias" - is it POV to say that DRM is bad? I don't think so... (That is almost as if someone tried to say that evolution is POV - rational, educated folks know it's true...)

    [edit] Red Links

    I think there are too many redlinks. I understand that you should not remove red links if it is a good topic for an article. I don't think that any of the people with red links are well-known enough to warrant their own articles. I'll remove the red links, but would like any feed back here.

    [edit] James Kim/Other

    We should/could add information about the "sections" ("Google World Domination Watch", etc.). Btw James Kim is apparently some musician... 87.78.95.17 22:06, 29 November 2005 (UTC)

    Good idea. I started some, but more fill would be useful - garlic 24.14.113.238 05:04, 30 November 2005 (UTC)


    Each time I start a Molly Wood page, it gets deleted. Granted, the starts aren't that good, but what's up with the deletions? If there's no Wood or Merritt page, there shouldn't be a link to those absent pages. -- garlic 208.20.220.72 21:53, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

    I caught that james kim thing too. Im pretty sure cnet's james kim is not a korean guitarist.


    [edit] Request to registered-wiki users

    Please, if you have listened to this show and are a registered user, I request that this page's quality be improved upon. I will look into this when time permits, but the readability of the article is poor and considering the recent calls for deletion of one of the cast member's wiki pages, I think an overhaul of the related pages will need to be done as well to prevent other such calls of deletion. Thank you. --LifeStar 18:53, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

    [edit] Reverts

    Please anyomnous users do not revert the link situation. If you have a problem with it please explain here otherwise it will be reverted and probably lead to you being banned. - Mike Beckham 23:21, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

    For reverting links back? Have you acquired the authority to ban users? Do we need an arbitrator involved? Fan links are permitted on Wikipedia, don't delete the Flickr page or the Frappr group. Both are extremely relevant to BuzzOutLoud. --buzzoutloudfan

    I cannot ban users however I can as all users can refer incidents to Admins. Please see WP:COOL before anything else. After reading Wikipedia guidelines you can see 1 link to a fan based site is fine not multiple ones. Spam is not permitted on Wikipedia.

    As can I. Don't be a hypocrite: read the link you sent: you escalated the convo to threats of "being banned". --buzzoutloudfan

    [edit] Looks like Someone is messing with the Wiki

    I dont think the "bitch" reference is part of the article. I will be editing unless i am missing something

    "CNET bitch fuck noggerearly as 30 March 2005 during the "pre debut" phase of the podcast, Molly and Tom discussed subjects that have grown into mainstay themes throughout the life of the podcast: patent infringement lawsuits, the Apple iPod, and DRM."
