Talk:Lemonada Media

Conflict of interest
Hello, I just wanted to ask whether you had any conflict of interest with the subject of this article. If you do, then you should disclose that here on the talk page. TipsyElephant (talk) 18:01, 14 November 2022 (UTC)


 * Hello @TipsyElephant, no I do not have a conflict of interest. I started editing in the podcast space because I noticed some missing pages that I felt were notable. I've gotten some pushback recently because of my tone and refs. I didn't feel it was fair at the time but admittedly I probably went too far down the prose rabbit hole.
 * One thing I mentioned briefly on my talk page and should have mentioned here, is that I submitted to AfC in hopes that I could get feedback from other editors and more clearly identify where I went wrong and correct it moving forward. Drsammyjohnson (talk) 19:46, 1 December 2022 (UTC)

Table references
Hello, I want to propose a large change to the article here on the talk page so that we can discuss it before moving forward. As I mentioned in my reviewer comment, the table containing the podcasts that are produced by Lemonada Media contains a lot of press release type sources. These generally shouldn't be used and personally I don't think the existance of podcasts produced by Lemonada Media meets any of the WP:MINREF criteria. Taking a look at other articles about similar topics such as Parcast, Luminary (podcast network), Gimlet Media, Night Vale Presents, QCode, or Pineapple Street Studios shows that generally tables like these don't include references for every single entry and often times "supplement the article's prose content" (i.e. Gimlet does a short paragraph about each podcast beneath the table). I think by removing the references column and using the most reliable and independent of those references to write short paragraphs about some of the podcasts in the table would be the best way to improve the draft and remove of any unnecessary sources.

Hmmm, just read WP:SOURCELIST as well, and that seems slightly less clear about whether individual items in a list need references, but it still refers back to WP:MINREF. So I think my initial instinct was still correct, but that guideline definitely gave me pause. TipsyElephant (talk) 21:49, 14 November 2022 (UTC)


 * @TipsyElephant I've been away for the holiday's and recently got back online, did not mean to keep you waiting on this discussion. Thanks much for your feedback. I reviewed the articles you linked and I have to say that I agree with you. I made a very strong effort to be encyclopedic in this draft due to the feedback I've gotten on recent BLP pages. I fear I may have overcorrected in this case, erring on the side of brevity at the risk of making it sound like a timeline. I went back and forth on if this podcast section should be in paragraph form so I think I can make a fairly easy turnaround. If you don't mind I'll add a couple of paragraphs about the shows and defer to you on formatting. I appreciate you helping me be a better editor. Looking forward to your feedback and getting this page up to Wikipedia standards. Drsammyjohnson (talk) 19:50, 1 December 2022 (UTC)
 * @TipsyElephant I only added three pods as a first pass but I can build out more. Didn't remove the chart yet, I figure that can be done later. Plugged in some context to the history section as well trying to reduce the timeline. Let me know your thoughts on the new format. Drsammyjohnson (talk) 21:58, 6 December 2022 (UTC)
