Edit summaries
I note that you made two edits to Video blog without using edit summaries. It is important that you include an accurate summary with all edits to pages other than your own user page, even if they are minor. Recent changes patrollers need those summaries to make it easier to monitor edits without always having to compare the version history. Adrian  M. H.  14:00, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Thank you - yes, I meant to but forgot, and then didn't know how to add retrospectively.Ruperthowe 16:06, 30 April 2007 (UTC)Ruperthowe
 * That's OK. Unfortunately, there is no method to edit the edit summaries, but if you ever need to add one retrospectively for an important edit, you can make another save without changes and add a summary to that. Not essential though. Adrian   M. H.  16:23, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

Video blog
Hey Ruperthowe,

Thanks for your contribution to the vlog article. I think the discussion around the definition is great. The videoblogging group can't be used as a source however so we need to find a news article or something notable and verifiable to back up the statement. The reasoning is that anyone could write anything on a blog or discussion group and then just cite it on Wikipedia. If people are going to trust the content on wikipedia, they have to be able to verify where it's coming from and in order to maintain quality content, we have to set some standards on where that information is going to come from. (on a side note, places that require membership should also be avoided as sources)

I think that the definition of video blogging has in fact changed or will be changing soon now that Youtube supports videoblogging so we just need to find a notable source that backs up our hunches. Pdelongchamp 22:24, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

Vlog Contributions
Hey!

Thanks for all the contributions. I have a few ideas that I'll bring up later in the vlog discussion page. Just wanted to say thanks. Pdelongchamp 00:20, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

Is there a reason you removed the amanda congdon timeline event? I reinserted it only because you didn't give a reason. I'm willing to discuss whether or not it should be included. The reason I included it was because I was looking through the Google News archives and it was one of the most written about news stories during 2006. I want to add timeline events for the rest of the larger news stories. http://news.google.ca/archivesearch?q=%22video+blog%22&um=1&sa=N&lnav=m&scoring=t Pdelongchamp 00:36, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

Disputed Terminology
Hey, I removed the dispute terminology section but wrote about it in the Video blog talk page. Let's discuss it. Pdelongchamp 19:17, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
