Talk:Movable Type

message: Am I the only one who thinks that there should be a redirect at MovableType/Movabletype to point to this article?  Took me about four tries to figure out how to get to this Wikipedia article, and it seems as though people use ``MovableType and ``Movable Type almost interchangeably.

message: It's hard to believe that the only review of Movable Type referenced is a post on the ChicagoNow.com staff blog where they tout the benefits of WordPress for their application after they replaced Movable Type.  Aren't these the opinions of the editors of the ChicagoNow website, not a review of the Movable Type Content Management System? DaveAiello (talk) 21:36, 5 March 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Feel free to do the redirects yourself in the future if you notice they need to be done.  Be bold.  :-) I put the redirects in for you and other people.  --ABQCat 02:55, 13 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Clearly someone has added this text as nothing more than an advert to divert people interested in Moveable Type to WordPress  — Preceding unsigned comment added by User:Cosmicnet (talk) 22:34, 8 May 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Inclusion of ChicagoNow Assertion of the Benefits of WordPress 

message: I feel somewhat dumb for proposing this, but should the MT Wiki link be kept in? It's unsearchable and locked to editing, quite castrated if you ask me. If even states in red lettering, "THANKS TO EVIL PEOPLE, SEARCH HAS BEEN DISABLED AND PAGES ARE NO LONGER EDITABLE - NOT MUCH FUN HUH?" It just feels wrong to see it linked, in a sort of ethical way.  Having Wikipedia link to a locked and unsearchable "wiki" seems like an altar boy giving directions to a kitten-stomper's house...

The links to the Wiki now redirect to a larger, better maintained wiki on Github.  DaveAiello (talk) 22:28, 5 March 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Link to MT Wiki 

message: Just a summary of my edits, since I made enough that it was hard to include them all in the "Edit summary" text input:
* corrected the capitalization of TrackBack;
* added the info about TrackBack originating with MT;
* clarified sentence about licensing;
* removed line about methods by which development is supported, as Six Apart likely has internal methods of directing funds to support MT (or TypePad or LiveJournal) to which none of us plebes outside the company are privy;
* cleaned up TypePad/LiveJournal para (while TypePad was certainly derived from the same codebase as Movable Type, I'm unclear whether it still runs on the same software).
That's it. Jason 02:22, 19 August 2005 (UTC)

message: I removed the content below.  It is not encyclopedic.  It's just a changelog.  —Quarl (talk) 2006-01-12 21:01Z
* Quarl, did you notice the discussion above about this very thing?  Why not participate in the discussion, rather than singlehandedly deleting the content? Jason t c 05:22, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I apologize for editing before getting consensus.  The only reasons I see above for keeping are 1) "the changelog is useful because the full changelog is too long" and 2) "what do you have against MovableType".   We cannot keep all information because it is useful to some people; Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information.  The abbreviated changelog belongs on FreshMeat or similar.  I myself certainly did not find it useful to be here.  (2) is not relevant.  I think it is pretty standard that more than a sentence about version history is too much unless there is something specific that made it notable (think about what the Linux article would look like otherwise).  Does anyone think this changelog is encyclopedic?  —Quarl (talk) 2006-01-15 08:56Z
*It is source text, and also trivia. Doesn't belong in an encyclopedia article. Radiant_>|< 10:31, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  unencyclopedic 

message: "Movable Type is free of charge for person blogs with unlimited authors and blogs; paid support and commercial licenses, which allow more authors and weblogs on a single installation of the software, are also available."  
In English this sentence means...what...? Cool! An article about a communication tool that is poorly communicated. Wikiquality strikes again!

message: It's open source software now:  I added to intro, feel free to do some formatting on my half-assed citation style. 128.120.166.196 (talk) 22:12, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Open Source 

message: There's a ref to a PC World article by Mike Heck tied to the mention of version 3.0's release.  It's not clear to me what this ref is supposed to be supporting; the sentence it's tied to talks about version 3.0 and new license restrictions, but neither topic appears in the linked article.  Does this belong elsewhere? Is it a leftover from a previous revision?  Should it be deleted? // Macwhiz (talk) 01:17, 28 August 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I found several references that were more relevant and added them. Removed PC World reference and updated the MT reference to an archived version of the URL. Removed the citation needed template. Lostraven (talk) 19:32, 3 April 2012 (UTC)

message: Performed the requested copy edit.  I didn't find much in the way of spelling and grammar issues.  Mostly, I updated reference links to bring them up to snuff with the MOS. // Macwhiz (talk) 01:31, 28 August 2010 (UTC)
