Talk:Napster/Archives/2015

Defunct yet implicitely presented as active?
The {About} tag starts with "This article is about the defunct peer-to-peer service" and the lead contains a mention of the company's acquisition by Rhapsody, but the infobox includes a link to napster.com (also in the "External links" section), which doesn't exist anymore. (The link is not technically dead because there is a redirect to Rhapsody, but this is still misleading.) Shouldn't these links be removed? Also, shouldn't the infobox contain a "Fate" line? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.130.179.8 (talk) 14:05, 13 February 2015 (UTC)
 * 66.130.179.8, these are all good and valid points. I urge you to Be bold and make these changes yourself. If anyone disagrees, they will revert and then the matter can be discussed, but your suggested changes do not sound controversial, they sound useful. I also urge you to create an account, as many disadvantages exist for IP users while advantages exist for registered users (see Why create an account?). Cheers.

 * I wouldn't know what to put on the "Fate" line, especially in light of what appears to be contradictory information at the end of the "Current status" section. Besides, isn't there a preset list of values that such fields can contain? I don't even know where to search for this kind of information. 66.130.179.8 (talk) 22:53, 13 February 2015 (UTC)
 * I see now that this article's infobox is for software, not a company, so there is no "Fate" parameter, but there is a "Discontinued" parameter. I found that out buy typing in the search box "Template:Infobox software" then reading the documentation. But you're right, someone else owns the Napster brand now, so it is not exactly discontinued. Perhaps just remove the website. Prhartcom (talk) 23:03, 13 February 2015 (UTC)
 * 66.130.179.8, I saw your changes, it really looks good. Now, consider getting that username. Prhartcom (talk) 21:30, 14 February 2015 (UTC)
