Talk:Seminar caller

Untitled
The linked transcript isn't actually an example of a seminar caller, it's simply Rush Limbaugh *claiming* to have received a seminar caller. Given the oft-challenged veracity of Rush, and the fact that this page sources nothing else, I really think this article should be deleted or radically revised. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.36.167.120 (talk) 22:58, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

i had allways associated seminar calling with callins to political talkshows where something more resembleing "mobey" or strawman sockpuppet is performed. i've heard astroturfing, but would anyone object if i broadened the article this way? 67.175.216.90 (signed) 23:53, 31 December 2006 (UTC) (actual date of posting from history page - 03:13, 19 September 2006)


 * csloat, i did discuss the matter of the article's incompleteness here months ago and recieved no objections. your interest in this dates back ten minutes.


 * this business of following my contrib log from article to artcle to revert my contribs out of spite constitutes WP:NPA violation. i wish there was a reasonable explaination for your aggression or why its fixated on me, but whatever it is your abusive behavior is not helpfull.


 * QUESTION: Is csLout still stalking you? Charles Edwin Shipp (talk) 15:39, 15 January 2012 (UTC) . . . That was 2006 and this is 2012.

Are there no Seminar Callers to liberal or non-conservative talk shows (radio or TV)? Charles Edwin Shipp (talk) 01:51, 13 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Whether they are 'Liberal', 'Conservative', or "other", the Obama Administration now has a website to assist those who support nationalized healthcare. Supporters are taught how to call shows and make the Obama points.

Obama Campaign website encourages calling radio program hosts
President Obama's support website http://radio.barackobama.com/ has "Calling Tips" for supporter (i.e., "Seminar Callers").

CALLING TIPS


 * Be polite, respectful, and clear. Remember, you representing Organizing for America.


 * How radio stations will connect you will depend on the show. Some radio shows may connect you right away, but most will take your name and basic info and put you on hold. You may or may not be able to hear the broadcast on the show while you're waiting. You may hear the radio host say something like, "Hello, we have your name on the line with us."


 * Some hosts may challenge your views. Stay calm and firm.


 * If you can't get through, don't worry! If the show you call is busy or not accepting calls at the moment you call in, simply click "Give me another show" to find another.

removing POV tag with no active discussion per Template:POV
I've removed an old neutrality tag from this page that appears to have no active discussion per the instructions at Template:POV:
 * This template is not meant to be a permanent resident on any article. Remove this template whenever:
 * There is consensus on the talkpage or the NPOV Noticeboard that the issue has been resolved
 * It is not clear what the neutrality issue is, and no satisfactory explanation has been given
 * In the absence of any discussion, or if the discussion has become dormant.

Since there's no evidence of ongoing discussion, I'm removing the tag for now. If discussion is continuing and I've failed to see it, however, please feel free to restore the template and continue to address the issues. Thanks to everybody working on this one! -- Khazar2 (talk) 23:51, 21 June 2013 (UTC)
