Wikipedia navel gazing
I won't remove it myself, lest I be accused of trying to remove a negative comment about Wikipedia. But really, in this woman's entire career, which is quite long and quite notable, is it really worthwhile to note what she said about Wikipedia?--Jimbo Wales 02:57, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
 * I understand that this is your gig, but her comment in respect of Wikipedia is relevant because she's a commentator on the development of the Internet. Why is her comment being suppressed? Why not counter her complaint in the article about Wikipedia? That seems to me to be the encyclopedic way to deal with her criticism.--Lance talk 19:17, 1 January 2007 (UTC


 * She is reported to be critical of Wikipedia. reappeared in the article. I have removed it.


 * Please explain what the criticism exactly is, and how it relates to her biography.

State it again, just less weaselly. I have heard one of her radio shorts where she has described Wikipedia as a failure, as well as advising listeners that "You get what you pay for." I am not able to find the reference right now, but it occured in two separate instances of the small radio short, I don't know anything about The Kim Komando Show.

Kim Komando -- I don't trust her
Since Kim doesn't trust Wikipedia, I find it hard to trust her. She seems like an advertising arm of Microsoft and associated products. Her show deals almost exclusively with Windows users. Her advice is dubious. She tends promote consumerism, rather than sustainability. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 138.67.12.44 (talk) 23:31, 6 March 2007 (UTC).

Agreed. She has actually called Wikipedia a "failure", something that is obviously not true. Telepheedian 19:46, 3 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Please keep the discussion on-topic. This talk page is here to discuss the article and not the subject of the article. ---J.S  (T/C/WRE) 22:08, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

Advert tag
IRelayer added an advert tag as a "minor" edit on Janaury 30, 2007. I have removed it. First of all, adding an article tag is never minor. The editor should explain the reason for the addition of this tag to this article. This article is accurate and sourced and, in my opinion, every generally positive article is not advertising. I spent a few minutes looking for material on the Web that might add something to the article and couldn't find any. patsw 18:31, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

Satellite radio controversy
If you are going to bring up the subject, isn't Komando's reason(s) arguing the proposed Sirius/XM merger would be bad for consumers part of the story as well as Stern's speculations on her motivations for doing so? patsw 02:53, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Disclaimer
Should a disclaimer be put on the page with something like the following statement?

Kim Komando has said negative things about Wikipedia on her nationally syndicated radio show. She has suggested not participating in Wikipedia. We at Wikipedia will endeavor to remain non point of view regarding her activities. Billnotgatez 22:29, 18 March 2007 (UTC)


 * There's no policy for such as disclaimer and I would expect it to be deleted on sight. Komando has every right to say "negative things" about the Wikipedia.  The question is whether her opinion has any significance to be included in her biographical article in this encyclopedia.  By the way, there is no "we at the Wikipedia."  Each editor speaks for himself or herself. patsw 02:41, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Who "noted" whose criticism of Kommando?
Thanks for in the info, but where's its verifiability? Who are the critics? Who are the "noters" of the critics? Is undue weight being given here to her opinions on open source? I tried but couldn't find a primary source (i.e. Komando herself being critical of open source), or a secondary source critical of Komando being critical of open source.

She has called Wikipedia a "failure" 'Nuff said. Telepheedian 19:46, 3 April 2007 (UTC)


 * "Alleged propensity" is immediately tagged for being weasel words patsw 01:22, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
