Talk:Online community manager

There are so many people working as Online Community Managers that I object to the deletion of this entry. - Connie Bensen www.conniebensen.com

Have begin attempt to re-cast this article in more encyclopedic format; adding reliable external references and adding historical context. Scottwrites (talk) 20:21, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

I am glad that this article has not been deleted, as I have not found other articles about this role. I have proposed modification of the article community management in Talk:Community management. I regret this article being only "online CM", but I don't have any source to the contrary. However I expect the techniques used in community management online are mirrors of real-life techniques, such as animation, gamification, events (real-life or virtual) etc., and as such have probably been in use for a long time (in politics, social life, or any community effort). BTW, it's true that this article is not very good, in particular it seems to stem from 2 individuals, and contains many external links, it should probably be made more general. I know, anyone can do the clean-up... aren't there any researchers in community management out there? :-) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jrob kiwi (talk • contribs) 12:44, 22 March 2013 (UTC)


 * Why not focusing the effort in Community management first, since this is the discipline or role description that has gained such a popularity in the past years? We could push / adapt / merge a lot of the information here to that article. Then consider what is left for Community manager. What imho doesn't make much sense is to have a full separate article about "Online community manager". Perhaps this article was created just because it was simpler than dealing with the appropriate task: improve Community management.--QuimGil (talk) 04:16, 18 April 2013 (UTC)


 * I completely agree, this is in line with what I was saying. OTOH it supposes more work... introducing a new meaning in "community management", and changing this article. If CM would evolve that way, then I would suggest that this isn't simply removed, but rather redirects to the appropriate section in CM. -- Jrob kiwi (talk) 13:04, 18 April 2013 (UTC)

Let's clean this up
This article could really use some attention, especially given the importance of online community managers these days, but I don't think that merging it with Community manager is the right way to go. The other article doesn't really have a strong enough link to online community management, and the job has more in common with PR rep and moderator roles than what that other article discusses. Let's start cleaning this article up by digging up sources to use and linking to the article from similar topics. That way we have something to build an article with that meets quality standards, and we can bring in editors who are knowledgeable about the subject to rewrite the article based on those sources. It might be stretching WP guidelines a bit to use it as a source, but Community Spark does have a lot of information on community management theory. --Tathar (talk) 14:47, 26 October 2013 (UTC)
