This article was nominated for deletion on 3 November 2005. The result of the discussion was keep. |
I noticed that some people added some good info to the page. I had left some things very broad as I didnt know the details, but that seems to be fixed. I moved Misc. to below History to make things flow better. I dont know if Misc should even be around. I only added it to make the page more presentable while it was marked for deletion. Any more ideas on what to add?Jamesinclair 22:20, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
Why does 'Photoblog' redirect here? Fotolog is a company, photoblog is a type of blog. This is illogical and needs fixed. Photoblog should have its own page
- On January 24 2006 the redirection was suppressed.

Someone linked to the Spanish article which seems to be very complete. Ill translate it over here over the next few weeks. Jamesinclair 05:30, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
Hi Jamesiclair.
The Spanish article es:Fotolog links to en:Photoblog, and conversely. This article (en:Fotolog) should link to es:Fotolog.com an article that doesn't exist yet. So, I'll remove the link to es:Fotolog. If you ever do the transaltion, please merge it with en:Photoblog.

[edit] Neutrality, cleanup
This article needs major clean up. The writing is heavily subjective and not very professional. Some examples of problems are:
One of the most famous photoblog web sites
An effective 'friends and favourites' system adds to the sense of community, and makes it easy to browse the website by quickly being able to see which of your preferred pages have recently uploaded
The site has had frequent technical problems
The site has improved considerably
As of April 18, 2006, Fotolog.com had: 3,246,908 Fotolog Members 108,453,449 Photos this needs a source.
These kinds of descriptors are not professional as they're often relative and sound more like marketing-speak than anything else. --Crossmr 01:26, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
Ive removed some of that wording. The source of those numbers is simply the front page. I do not know how to cite it since it changes hourly. Jamesinclair 05:28, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
- We might consider just making a general statement than, something like over 3 million members and over 100 million photos, then update for certain milestones. --Crossmr 05:31, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Brazil
Is there a source for that? --Crossmr 06:23, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
- They seem to have temporarily removed the directory system. "The Fotolog elves are hard at work building a whole new directory system. Stay tuned for better directories that update on a regular basis." That was the source. However, 90 seconds of browsing the website will confirm this data. Check out on the front page where it says Some of the Most Viewed All Time", lots of Brazil flogs. Also, it appears that Fotolog now allows 10,000 users a day. In the past when it was 1,000, and you tried to create an account, it would tell you how many users were in the country. Ill try to find another source, but Im 100% sure of this.

[edit] Cleanup & Name Change
I just made a cleanup for the fotolog page.
Don't you think the wiki should be renamed to Fotolog.com? That's because may be more correct and to avoid confusions.
[edit] Realize many talk page people have problems with this article but I removed subscription link
Hi, folks, I removed the bottom link on the article page because it went to a subscription only page with advertising and no info. That kind of link is not allowed per WP:EL. Can you find some better links for this page? Some of them don't work all the time -- like the one in the body of the article. Mattisse(talk) 00:02, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
