Talk:Urban Dictionary

Content and Quality control

I've just completed an expansion of these sections and where possible have included citations to the Urban Dictionary web site. Several comments in the QC section, including those about the lack of a vetting process for editors, are important enough and stand up to scrutiny of the Dictionary and editorial chat pages, but are difficult to provide simple sources for. I believe they should not be left out, so if anybody has concerns about the lack of sources please bear that in mind and, if necessary, please see how the site works for yourself. Maybe some easily accessible sources will arise at some point....?PårWöet (talk) 21:10, 11 February 2011 (UTC).

I don't think this entry is really wikipedia like

It seems to be a rule book or guidelines of submission rather than general information about the site and its role in the web. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.126.165.186 (talk) 19:53, 28 March 2011 (UTC) toss my salad —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.240.95.101 (talk) 06:53, 1 April 2011 (UTC)

Criticism

I think there should a section of criticism for this site. Mrmister107 (talk) 22:43, 4 April 2011 (UTC)

Lead-in, suburb dictionary and trash my own edit

Yeah, well, I just popped over here to read something, the lead-in struck me as non-English, so I modified and in the course of my enquiries I discovered that SuburbDictionary is a totally, NON-NOTABLE website that comes up on page 2 of Google if you type "suburb + dictionary" and NOWHERE in the first 8 pages if you just type "suburb". Also, there is no Wikipedia entry so this would appear to be blatant WP:NOTPROMOTION, well I am going to recraft the first paragraph and remove all reference to suburb dictionary, it just appears to be a non-moderated computer/user generated wiki that has nothing to do with the appeal or popularity of sites such as Wikipedia, Urban Dictionary, Uncyclopedia Dramatica etc. Captain Screebo (talk) 21:40, 6 April 2011 (UTC)

Delete "Traffic and users" section

I propose the deletion of this section, the information contradicts the lead-in and it is just a bunch of internet stats, "as of" this date, is this really relevant or necessary? If there are no objections, I'll go ahead and do it maybe next week. Captain Screebo (talk) 15:44, 8 April 2011 (UTC)

Just wondering: are there comparable sections/information on other articles about websites? If it's a style norm in other articles, I'd say keep it. If not, yeah, clear it out. $0.02 DP76764 (Talk) 16:50, 8 April 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for the $0.02, yes, well I've checked a few website articles and, no, they don't usually carry this info, the only one so far is HabboHotel, which mentions the number of users as of January, 2011. I'll look for some articles about the success or popularity of UD and see if I can integarate this into the article but I think this section is on its way out.Captain Screebo (talk) 13:34, 14 April 2011 (UTC)

I don't think deleting the section is a good idea, as there are other website article that have such sections. While a long listing of "notable users" is certainly not notable, there are other things that could fit under the subheading. Take a look at the Fark and Slashdot articles for ideas on improving the section. WTF? (talk) 15:09, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for reply, I have stalled my action awaiting comment, I'll go see before acting CaptainScreebo ^Parley! 21:52, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

Reference to deletion of entries appears to be out of date

There no longer appears to be any method to delete a word or suggest that it be deleted. I'm holding off changing the WP entry in case I'm missing something. Is there still a way to delete entries? PRL42 (talk) 08:49, 10 October 2011 (UTC)

Template

I expanded the template, Template:Dictionaries of English, and added it to this article, and a few others. Does this seem useful? should i add pub dates? is it correct in its categorizing?Mercurywoodrose (talk) 06:14, 31 October 2011 (UTC)

dude

the first paragraph is incorrect. i have been on the site, and it is not a dictionary. Jake1993811 (talk) 06:13, 23 December 2011 (UTC)

It's a list of definitions for various words; sounds like a dictionary to me. DP76764 (Talk) 06:33, 23 December 2011 (UTC)
