I haven't read the whole of this thread but I find it ironic that a
mechanism such as videoblogging, which due to it's low barrier to entry
means people can bypass msm, requires msm to define/reference it on
wikipedia so that it's definition becomes validated.

Hey Jay
Just wanted to make a quick reply.
Regarding the Star Trek article, there is a lot of discussion on the
article's talk page over notability and sources. (just to say it's still an
issue even if it doesn't appear to be at first) The fan made productions

It's sometimes difficult to read a long emotional argument like those of

I agree that's it's very silly to say that the definition of a video blog

set a standard so how low should
Wikipedia says that articles should be based on reliable, published sources
because this involves a reliable publication process. i.e. if we lowered
the bar to blogs, anyone could write anything and cite themselves because
there's no reliable publication process. So are blogs excluded?
just so im clear...the process for citation needs to be like this:
Something happens online.
Mary Joe blogs about it.
we wait for someone from a traditional newspaper to call Mary Joe and quote
her.
Once the traditional newspaper publishes the quote, it's now a reliable
source.
correct?

That's Patrick Delongchamp of the old vlog

his partner broke up. He used to post quite a lot on this Group, but
nothing since September, so I guess he's given up interest in

Good work. I say don't mark it vandalism. Don't give him the
satisfaction of getting into long discussions, either - perhaps he's
been loving the attention he's been getting from Meiser, and we need
