[edit] Notable Tumblelogs

Perhaps we should limit the Notable tumblelogs to those featured on the Tumblelist? I see Divine Sparks is back, which i'm still questioning... I could see this quickly turning into a lot of spam we need to make sure that we only feature tumblelogs that ARE NOT using a tublmr sub domain..

These are the original tumblelogs

ok 7 then

Why is Bluejway on the list? Andweallfalldown 14:54, 6 March 2007 (UTC)


Someone deleted these. Please post on the Talk page before you decide to do that... Don't just vandalize the page...

Me? Vandalize? I'd lose my sysop bit. Seriously, though, Wikipedia is not a collection of external links. Veinor (talk to me) 21:09, 9 March 2007 (UTC

I understand that, but these links are relevant to the article, and have their own heading, and are going to be kept down to those 7, if you read the above section. These are not a list of spam tumblelogs Andweallfalldown 21:44, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

7 is actually a lot of links. Even if they have their own heading and are relevant... you still have the external link guidelines. I wouldn't even have one. Besides, why those 7? Why not take out X and include Y? You see the fundamental issue we'd have. Veinor (talk to me) 21:47, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

I see your point, but I still think they are relevant and helping for understanding what a tumblelog is. The 7 are a good sampling of what Tumblelogs can be, and web celebs using tumblelogs.Andweallfalldown 21:55, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Please remember, we are WP:NOT a linkfarm. One or two links is fine to demonstrate what it is... better yet is to describe what it is here in the article ;). 7 links to random blogs is clearly not needed in this case. —— Eagle101 Need help? 22:27, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
Let me also note something, we do not need 3 sections of links just for one section of content. One or two examples of a blog are fine, beyond that we have what is called a link farm. Cheers! —— Eagle101 Need help? 22:30, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
Personally, I'd argue against having any links. Then, we wouldn't have the "why not this one" and "me too" crowd beating on the doors. Veinor (talk to me) 22:38, 9 March 2007 (UTC)


Someone seems to have shortened the notable tumblelogs list. I guess that's a fair sampling. Maybe remove the spam tag now? Andweallfalldown 03:51, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] obvious plug for tumblr

this wikipedia entry is the most obvious plug for tumblr —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 67.171.214.1 (talk) 22:04, 21 March 2007 (UTC).

Ya wow, did you see that?

tumblelogs? The Aquarium from Blue Fugu Software came first. http://www.bluefugu.info/aquarium

[edit] removing frivolous external links

Removed links to some blog article and a hacked WordPress install —ThirteenSeven

[edit] Twitter/Jaiku Links

I don't think these should be included. They don't allow much "mixed-media" in their posts and they serve a different purpose e.g., "What are you doing?". Anyone else agree that these should be deleted? --Weakmassive 04:50, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Why does Tumblr redirect here?

People looking for info on the specific service of Tumblr get redirected here. Tumblr needs its own article. Mathprog777 (talk) 19:30, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

I completely agree.62.30.141.61 (talk) 00:45, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
I don't. AFAIK the link is to explain what a tumblelog is. Which is this article, surely? 78.150.248.132 (talk) 21:17, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
