message: With an alexa ranking over 50K, this website doesn't seem overly notable.  However the article asserts widespread media coverage.  Perhaps citing some sources for this would help establish why this website is important.  Friday (talk) 16:44, 26 August 2005 (UTC)

message: Ari Fleischer was the former White House press secretary.  Americablolg uncovered that Republican White House correspondent Jeff Gannon (aka James Guckert) had worked as a prostitute, not Ari Fleischer. PPmana 03:49, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Actually, the Web site outed Jeff Gannon, not Ari Fleischer 

message: Someone has been posting "updates" to this blog profile, and the blogger's personal profile John Aravosis, over the past few days simply because they're ticked at the blogger for something that happened two days ago.  The person already got a 'weasel word' warning for his/her posts on both entries.  The person is now deleting entire sourced sections of both wiki entries, and replacing the deleted sections with biased unsourced paragraphs about this supposed incident.  I've been trying to keep track of their edits, but now they're demanding I be banned for doing so.  If you can, please keep an eye on these two profiles.  Obviously, don't believe me - just click through the "history" and you'll see what's going on - compare the revisions and do what you do best, keep things fair. Thanks.

replies: text: My paragraphs predate additions by PPmana (who deleted my text), which he claims I am "replacing." This guy is a total liar. Bds yahoo 17:49, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

text: PPmana, I agree to the latest revisions you have made. I think they are pretty evenhanded. Okay? So can we end this edit war? Bds yahoo 01:42, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

text: Bds yahoo, I am responding to your question in the talk page on the John Aravosis article (14:15, 23 May 2006).  For both articles I have noted that I deleted the blog link to Shakespeare's Sisters that you reinserted because the related posts and comments have been directly sourced, and the actual commenters have been given voice. I find it noteworthy that the Shakespeare sister link begins with a link to the newly created, low-traffic, "attack" blog, which is utterly, comprehensively biased.  Furthermore, I believe the objections of commenters to the "big girl" blog post is quite narrow in focus, and personally, I do not find it worthy of inclusion in either article; however, it has been included, and the sources that have been provided tell the story directly.  I do not believe that adding a link to the low-traffic Shakespeare's Sisters blog, which begins with a link to the very brand new, very vengeful site, adds to the Americablog or John Aravosis articles, other than to serve as a back-door approach for leading viewers to a brand new site designed with the intent to seek revenge.  I find the attempt to use wiki as a means of promoting such a site both biased and inappropriate.  I also find the issue far too narrow for inclusion at all, yet here it is.  The story has been told, and links to the comments have been included.  zphyche 16:42, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Heads up, someone is editing this profile to take revenge on the blog 

message: I'm concerned that the criticsm section is not well enough sourced; 'criticism' section seems to be sourced to a blog by someone who does not appear to be particularly significant or notable and to comments on the post. I don't think the criticism is significant unless it has been reported on by reliable external sources, for example newspapers or notable critics. -- Naerii 03:22, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: As no one has improved the sources, I am removing the section. -- Naerii 15:03, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
