Talk:Glenn Reynolds

message: "and is best known as the Internet's Instapundit."
vs.
"and is most widely known for his Instapundit weblog. He is known for his rigor in pursuing news stories."

IMO it is most appropriate to refer to instapundit as a weblog, instead of "the Internet's Instapundit," which is not a title that is recognized beyond fans of his blog, and does not indicate what instapundit is. If it's true that he is known for his rigor in pursuing stories, how is this redundant?--Nectarflowed 05:06, 16 Mar 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Intro

message: Mr. Reynolds recently signed a letter (imploring John Shaddeg not to retire) in which he described himself as "a conservative in the Movement" (or something similar). This reduces the need for inference with respect to whether Mr. Reynolds is a conservative, and indicates that the attempts by some to dodge assignment of this adjective have been silly. I am new here, and don't know how to provide the appropriate links, but the letter was relatively widely reported. Can anyone provide the required link and edit the article to indicate that Mr. Reynolds considers himself to be "a conservative in the Movement (pretentious capitalization in original)." Thank you.KeepItFair (talk) 18:57, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: BTW one major problem I had with your response is that you cite Glenn Reynolds as the authority of his political orientation. That is not a NPOV source. Most intelligent political commentators are very good at rhetorical techniques and framing, thus it is important that Wikipedia doesn't become a slave to their "sensitivities". --Ben Houston 17:09, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

text: Here is an analysis of Glenn Reynold's political orientation and decides that he does fit under the "conservative" big tent: . Here is an article Glenn wrote for Salon in which he is introduced as a "prominent conservative blogger": . He is also one of the stars featured on www.thoseshirts.com, where "conservative humor, superior quality, and professional artistry come together." Anyways, I'll leave the article as is. I stand behind my original addition, I was not adding "inaccurate information", although I will accept that it wasn't properly referenced. --Ben Houston 21:19, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: That blogger's analysis aside, Reynolds has frequently stated he is not a conservative, and has even volunteered at an abortion clinic. It would be terribly inaccurate, his views on the military and guns notwithstanding, to describe him as a conservative. The world isn't broken up into two camps--liberal and conservative-- as nospeedbumps would contend.Killua 16:24, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Glenn Reynolds political orientation

message: I think it would be better to have a more precise statement, suitably documented from Alexa or wherever, along the lines of "the second most widely read political weblog (after Daily Kos)" or "the most widely read single author political weblog". Crust 13:07, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I think your suggestions are better than what's there right now, although I don't particularly have a problem with what's there now. --Daniel11 13:56, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

text: I agree. I also don't think http://truthlaidbear.com/ecosystem.php is a good "ranking" -- how is this defined? Even http://truthlaidbear.com/ecotraffic.php is a better reference. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.146.78.185 (talk) 20:00, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

message: I know WP:BLP advises against including birthdays for figures like Reynolds, but he himself has made the information quite easily accessible: . Does that matter, or should the date still stay off? Biruitorul 02:15, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Birthday

message: Sorry to revert, but that seemed awfully imprecise--Federal employee? State employee? I assume that the rationale is that Reynolds works at the University of Tennessee, but do we have some kind of handle as to how much of his income is derived from his teaching there, vs. books sales, articles, blogging, and his work for PJM? And how much of U/Tennessee is publicly funded? Do we even have that figure?Scooge (talk) 18:00, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: "Government Employee"?

message: Here is an interesting and informative interview with Prof Reynolds, which we should probably use in both this article and Instapundit.
Speaking of which, I still haven't got around to moving non-blog-related parts of Instapundit to this article. Feel free to start without me ... cheers, CWC 08:41, 29 May 2010 (UTC)
