Quail

Saw something unusual on Facebook and thought it might have relevance here on Wikipedia. Look at the bottom of your friends list, and just above "Facebook (c) 2007" is a piece of watermark text that says, "Only the craftiest of quails survive hunting season." Does this have any significance to Facebook (e.g. company motto)? Mayor Coffee Bean 22:30, 25 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Largest Facebook Group Statistic

Frank1470 19:39, 26 October 2007 (UTC)the group 1,000,000 strong for Stephen T. Colbert made Facebook history by accumulating over 1,000,000 members in 10 days. Why would this not be worthy of mention? here is the ref http://www.computerworld.com/action/article.do?command=viewArticleBasic&articleId=9044305[reply]

It may be worth mentioning. It's already in Stephen Colbert presidential campaign, 2008. --Idont Havaname (Talk) 20:59, 28 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No, it's trivial. KyuuA4 21:15, 28 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Facebook.info

Dollarq 14:21, 28 October 2007 (UTC) I think facebooknotes.info should be added to external links. I get lots of visitor every looking for help on how to use the functionality of Facebook. Such as deleting friends, how friend requests work. Currently there are no other sites with this info.etc help section: facebooknotes.info/index.php?option=com_content&task=category&sectionid=6&id=18&Itemid=28 I use answers.yahoo.com to find question people ask about facebook, then I write a article/tutorial about. Google then indexes the page and I get Search engine traffic from people looking for info on that. Obviously people are looking for that info.[reply]

User Box

Is there a user box for Facebook? Tigersfan1992 22:54, 29 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

VIRUS ALERT

It should be noted that one of the Facebook applications, the Talking Smileys (The Webfetti Toolbar application) has a Trojan horse virus, my Avast! Antivirus was able to detect and quarantine the virus, as reference to my experience, here's a link to a forum discussing the problem: http://www.greatcanadianforum.ca/showthread.php?t=31890...

Can this information be added to the article? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.2.225.217 (talk) 12:39, 31 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I added this information myself into the article, because I believe information like this is worth being added, and especially because of what I and a handful of people had experienced with this Webfetti Toolbar, and I believe sharing this information will save others from downloading this virus... - Joshua —Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.2.225.217 (talk) 04:15, 1 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, see WP:NOT#GUIDE. Gscshoyru 04:19, 1 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Excuse me, but what I'm stating are facts, Webfetti Toolbar has a virus, and I'm not depriving people of that information, but if so, where can I post this, cuz I believe wikipedia is a good place, cuz many people use it, instead of going to public forums, so where can I post this in the Wiki commununity? - Joshua
