[edit] Sponsorship?
Is the podcast really sponsored by PartySmart at all? I was under the impression that Linda was more of a "conceptual" spokesmodel for the product than an actual one. But I guess the podcast must have some relationship with the product since there's a discount available.
Regardless of all that, the sponsorship probably doesn't need it's own section, right? That smacks of advertising... -- SatyrTN (talk | contribs) 13:57, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
- Oh yeah, the sponsorship started I believe in cycle 2, and Party Smart is a real product; basically club goers are their client base, so the podcast featuring club celebrities and Jonny McGovern being a party promoter, the marriage is perfect. Sponsorship is an important part of media, radio, television, etc. the seperation of awareness of sponsorshp is something television has brought us, but that radio could never do without. One example that it is important to the encyclopedia entry, is that nascar and other industrial vehicles (used not literally) are dependent on sponsorship. Persons of various professions, casual users, and even the media may use wikipedia for research, and the inclusion of the sponsor for the podcast is an important fact about it.Aeonjoey 10:30, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
- update! audible.com just sponsored the podcast ya'll! 67.182.84.30 (talk) 02:27, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Trivia
I want the trivia section back; enough entries on Wikipedia have trivia sections that it is not unusual; especially for a pop-culture phenom like the podcast. I say we put it back in.Aeonjoey 10:40, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
- The only pieces of trivia on there were a neologism (frans), a mention of Paris is Burning (which is elsewhere in the article), and the truly trivial fact that Jonny and Lina are the only two constant members of the cast. Since Wikipedia Trivia Guidelines say we should avoid having that section, and since those really are trivial, I say keep it off. "Trivial" information can be included, but shouldn't have its own section. -- SatyrTN (talk | contribs) 13:49, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Book Club: "Regular"?
It's only been done once - is that really a "regular feature"? Can't we wait until it's been done three or four times before we make that a part of the article? -- SatyrTN (talk | contribs) 14:45, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] whoa SatyrTN baby, hold up a little
is it really necessary to delete so much of people's entries?, i.e. "She is know for being strong and independent and not putting up with other people's bullshit embodied in her phrase "not having it." " in Maxine's section.
Listen, I KNOW I know, I know know know, you want to be the Wikipedia police, and 'uphold' the standards set forth; and without attacking the very fortitude that makes up wikipedia, I'm only going to say... this entry is fun and faggoty; in a medium that is ever changing and user-dependent- just be a little careful with the deleting liberties. It is such a shame when good contributors are turned-off to a medium because of over-zealousness in guideline enforcing. Most commonly on wikipedia, there is discussion about deleting sections or portions of an entry before it is done; like about the book club, that was a good point you made, and I'll delete the entry;
I KNOW you have only the BEST of intentions, and want to make the entry professional and quality, I just want to throw that out thereAeonjoey
- Of course we can! And you may think I'm being harsh, but I promise you if half the editors on here got ahold of this article, it would be a stub in seconds. Almost nothing on here is sourced! I only deleted what I saw as POV - statements like "She is known for being strong and independent" are definitely a point of view. Any editor would require that to be sourced - as in "The New York Times says she's strong and independent". So rather than see the whole article get dumped, I took out what I saw was the most POV. Believe me - I *do* want what's best for the article - and for Jonny and the podcast :) -- SatyrTN (talk | contribs) 01:53, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
