Once these are addressed, the article can be renominated. Editors may also seek a reassessment of the decision if they believe there was a mistake. Delisted version: October 13, 2006 |

[edit] Controversy Section
I deleted a section on supposed controversy around the term "podcast" as reflecting technical ignorance because I can find no evidence that a notable controversy ever existed. It was flagged as needing a citation. I believe this was one person's opinion written in the third person to sound objective. --Editor B (talk) 15:52, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Podcast client software
It is a shame there is no "list of podcast software" or "comparison of podcast software", as a separate linked article. It is very hard to find anything for Win98SE. It is hard to use anything on dialup, because it will suck up all the bandwidth in the background, out of control. There is little or nothing available as portable apps. These seem to be good places to start a search: www.podcastingnews.com/topics/Podcast_Software.html and www.podcatchermatrix.org -69.87.204.16 11:54, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
- The first link there (a list of podcast clients / podcatchers) is still available via a Google cache. The unavailability of podcatchers for Win98SE might be explained because podcasting is in a sense a fad (being simply a RSS feed of MP3 links), and people vulnerable to fads are unlikely to be running any operating system older than a year or two. iTunes itself only runs on Windows XP SP2 or newer, Juice requires an NT-based Windows, and other software requires .NET which would be hard to install over dial-up. However, jpodder and @podder are both Java-based and should run on Win98SE. One would expect podcast software to be produced by manufacturers of MP3 players besides Apple, if the main objective is to copy MP3s to a device as the become available. --79.72.89.161 (talk) 12:21, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Adam Curry & WP
Is
- In 2005, it was reported that Adam Curry had anonymously edited the podcasting entry on Wikipedia to remove credits from other people and to inflate his role in its creation.[8]
encyclopedic? The ref appears to be a blog with fewer than 2000 readers (subscribers?), and isn't mentioned in Rogers Cadenhead, so i am removing the ref to here:
- <ref>[http://www.cadenhead.org/workbench/news/2818/adam-curry-caught-sticky-wiki Adam Curry Caught in Sticky Wiki]</ref>
(Please replace it if there is evidence that source is ref-worthy.)
Part of my concern is that this reminds me of a long-running struggle that ended with the self-proclaimed genius banned. After Ambition (game) was soundly deleted the 4th time as n-n , there was a period in which something like "Ambition trolling phenomenon" was pushed to stand in for it as the means of promoting it or him.

[edit] New way of listening podcast, why remove this?
I have found a spectacular way of listening to podcast and i also have this article edited to add this... but somebody just erase what i wrote. My question is simple... Why? If you want to know about podcast im sure you want to know about this voip solution. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Alfonko34 (talk • contribs) 19:39, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
- The link is a company blog that does not comply with our guidelines for external links. Sorry if I did not make that clear enough. --Tikiwont (talk) 09:51, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Brilliant Idea...
Turn this article into a podcast! It would be so fitting...
