| Woohoo!!! I have created many accounts here, but I know this (current account) that I use is the real deal. Anyway, I was wondering on why MAL always had different pages in Wiki throughout the years. |
 |
| Sweet, Wikipedia! :D |
       |
| Woohoo, a Wiki page! :D |
| wow I'm impressed o_o |
| Nice... I actually tried to wiki it a few months ago, but no results... :o |
| "Along with an active and engaged audience, MyAnimeList is free of the pirated content that has plagued much of the anime industry, according to Dodge. "The industry is going through challenges in terms of copyright issues, like the music industry," Dodge said. "MyAnime is a very clean site not based on stolen material, which obviously appeals to us and advertisers."" That was off one of the news citations... really? isnt most of the pictures links, club stuff subject to copyright and how are you going to crack down on the illegal stuff? ...Probably one fool at a time right? :) ...good luck with that. Then again, im 95% sure they're just referring to the torrents and other high risk stuff like that rather than some fools club pictures. |
  "What happens when we die?" I know that the ones who love us will miss us. |
| haha didnt even know it existed. |
 |
| Did you include my attempt to make a MAL wiki in April, I fought that deletion to the end, but in the end Toddst1 got his way:(. |
 |
| wow. why was it deleted before? |
 banana |
| Because they said it failed notability guidelines. MAL was also labeled as a "fan site" in which are usually removed from Wikipedia. Basically the admins at Wikipedia use the notability guidelines as an excuse to remove articles they don't want. |
ZinnKid said: Basically the admins at Wikipedia use the notability guidelines as an excuse to remove articles they don't want. Yeah, basically. I mean, I'm sure there are spurious and stupid articles that really shouldn't exist but there are many legitimate things, like MAL, that get the axe too - which is unfair. |
  |
| long live MAL. I knew we're going to be more "notable". Now hopefully they're not getting out of their way to try to delete it again <_< |
| Collectonian (The Admin that got it deleted last time) is trying to delete the article again. First attempting to speedy delete it and then tagging it COI. |
ZinnKid said: Collectonian (The Admin that got it deleted last time) is trying to delete the article again. First attempting to speedy delete it and then tagging it COI. seriously? not this shit again |
| I do think the article is written like an advertisement though. I would recommend reading these guidelines and remove all unnecessary adjectives from the article. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Avoid_weasel_words http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Avoid_peacock_terms |
| i want to see it ! ^^ |
     |
| Not to be picky or anything but... The Wiki article said: It's quite misleading. Should be .net if I'm not much mistaken. :)before it was moved to the domain myanimelist.com |
| ... Even if I took time to write alot of intelligent words of deep thought and meaning in my signature, would you really care to read and comment on it? ... |
| Fixed it |
| Oo looks good! I'm quite proud of the fact it's doing so well despite being relatively young! Woot MAL for the win |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| awesome ^^ |
 |
| LMFAO someone added a section about the site never working HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH |

pedosensei said: kei-clone, and any other moderator here, shouldn't make any edits or changes to the articles. It's called a conflict of interests and wikipedia doesn't like it. Also, I don't really think mal needs a wikipedia page, to be honest, if a much large site like anidb doesn't have one (apparently as some user claimed here it got deleted because of a discussion here). Just wanted to mention Anidb is in no way a larger site. MAL has a larger user base and many, many more visitors. Facts = win. |
| ^yeah, anidb is a LOT more known than mal outside of US. |
| ^ ^ I've been using anidb for years until i discovered there is even such a site as MAL. Congratz on the article, I hope it will increase your E.G.O more to the point that you will truly deserve a wiki page. |
pedosensei said: @Xinil, I'm afraid your criteria aren't mine. anidb exists longer, has more titles (and more info), is a lot more known than mal, especially outside of North America. Equating facts with opinions = lose. ;) Though I'm believing Xinil with the facts he said, so what use do awards and so on have when there are less users and less people who visit the site now instead of MAL? |
Music is about enjoying sound~| @pedosensei >anidb exists longer So? Age (especially with technology/internet) shouldn't be a factor. Yahoo has existed longer than Google, and.. well, 'nuff said. >has more titles (and more info) MAL caters to the community. The DB is here for the user's convenience. Your comparing two different sites that are for two different purposes. AniDB: An anime/fansub database. MAL: An anime/manga social networking site. >is a lot more known than mal And yet MAL has more visitors. (more known = "more people who knows [subject]") When it comes to comparing sites, gauging popularity, and establishing notability; the amount of visitors is what you look for. After all, the purpose of websites is for people to view/use them. MAL = the "much large[r] site" |

| MAL was sold to a company and therefore mentioned in numerous news websites. Wikipedia requires that for credibility. Anidb does not have news worthy mentions. Also, I'll trust google over sitewhatever.org: http://trends.google.com/websites?q=myanimelist.net%2C+anidb.net&geo=all&date=all&sort=0 |
