Talk:Gothamist

Creation
I'd like to create an accurate page for Gothamist, which is one of the largest blog networks on the web (according to Technorati, BlogNetworkList, etc . It's currently linked to from various Wikipedia pages, and gets mentioned in the press quite a bit.  Similar companies, including Gawker Media, Weblogs Inc., BoingBoing, Overheardinnewyork and Metroblogging have pages on Wikipedia.  We'll keep adding info today-- please don't delete us until we've at least finished the page.

Will you be mentioning contributers as well?

I want to add some information about some criticisms Gothamist has received from media watch dogs and the like. I have never edited a wikipedia article before, so I may not do it correctly. Any help will be appreciated. I'll do the research and provide an skeletal outline, but might someone else be able to help as well? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.88.252.201 (talk) 17:36, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

Are these websites WP:R?
The have a budget of $100K. The have paid reporters, editors, an office that they pay rent on. They can be sued for libel and defamation of character and all that. The infobox says that they are a news source. They are websites that are WP:R.--Sa57arc (talk) 05:32, 5 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Stop your disruptive editing. They are clearly a blog and have won multiple awards for it. – wallyfromdilbert (talk) 07:18, 5 December 2020 (UTC)
 * "Blog" means something different here at Wikipedia. "Blog" means not WP:R. When non-WP contexts call it a blog, they are not trying to disrespect the website. Despite its awards, the Wikipedia community disrespects these websites by calling them blogs. They can use the word blog, but because of Wikipedia's own traditions and WP:RULES, we cannot call it a blog. "Website" is WP:NPOV. "Blog" is not NPOV. We have screwed ourselves up with our own arrogance. We cannot use the word blog in this case even if the sources use it. It carries too much baggage here.--Sa57arc (talk) 07:42, 5 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Someone pointed me to WP:NEWSBLOG. The reporters of these websites are professionals. SFist is WP:R.--Sa57arc (talk) 11:38, 5 December 2020 (UTC)
