Talk:Monster (website)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Since the company is no longer called "Monster.com" should this article be moved to "Monster (web site)"? -- Malber (talk · contribs) 13:48, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] MonsterTrak

Anyone think we should include something on MonsterTRAK.com, Monster's entry-level subsite? PJ 16:34, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia page name should reflect real name

Agreed, the name should mirror official name currently being used.

[edit] Fastweb

I believe that fastweb.com is a part of monster. Perhaps a link should be added to the Wikipedia article or the website itself.--Jonpro 05:31, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

• Yes, FastWeb is owned by Monster Worldwide...but I don't think we need a separate link to it. If you look at the link to "Monster's Network of websites", you'll see it listed there...and A TON of others. Repeating that list in this entry would be silly. --PatrickD 05:46, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 2nd rank ?

"Today, Monster is the second largest job search engine on the Internet" I thought Monster was number one...I would like a proof about this ranking ? As an additional question i would like to know who is first ? Ksempac 12:47, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "Monster attack steals user data"

Anyone fancy incorporating any of this into the article? It comes across as a pretty big thing to me. "1.6 million entries with personal information belonging to several hundred thousands of candidates"? --Dreaded Walrus ^{t c} 19:05, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

Sounds notable to me. Rklawton 19:46, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

It is, for sure. I have a copy of the form letter they sent to all users affected by the data theft. If anyone thinks it's useful I could scan it and incorporate it (with my info blurred out, of course). Thoughts? IvoShandor 09:11, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Monster logo.gif

Image:Monster 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 this Wikipedia article 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. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is 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.

[edit] Criticisms

I think there is a credibility issue with the recruiters on this site. I have a Finance degree and most of the companies that call me are looking for associates to start up a new branch through an affiliate program. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.69.139.137 (talk) 00:33, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 454th

Monster.com was the 454th website? What does that even mean? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.201.145.253 (talk) 22:40, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Jobs.com

Any source about the lawsuit mentioned in the artice? This [1] link implies that Monster's parent owns Jobs.com, and it's dated several years before the alleged lawsuit.Sme3 (talk) 13:57, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
