Talk:Ohayocon

message: The owners and higher staff that operate this convention are trying to hide the truth about it and "sugercoat" their image with shoddy details and promises. Please read the october 7th edits to the article for the truth about the convention. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.109.124.5 (talk) 13:12, November 7, 2005 (UTC)

thread_title: Criticism

message: www.ohayocon.com was recently offlined as part of a DMCA C&D notice.  I think that the scrutiny may merit note as independent research that is relevant to the event itself, if not the controversy in numerous recent edits. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.203.80.125 (talk) 20:19, August 17, 2006 (UTC)
:That looks more like a hack of their webserver then a legitimate DMCA notice by their webhost. The reasons I think its a server hack is because no infringed material was identified in the notice, no person or law firm was identified as being responsible for the notice, and the only contact address give was to an anonymous GMail account. But either way, it's still not a verifiable source of a curse. --TheFarix (Talk) 20:43, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  The Curse of Ohayocon/recent edits 

message: I'm a staff member of Ohayocon, and I have a good idea of who's behind the recent vandalism of the page. That is, our former webmaster who has also taken our old dot com domain for himself. I really can't understand why he's decided to take such a juvenile approach to the whole situation. But in the meantime, keeping an eye on this page for more edits like this would be welcome. --Paul Soth 09:10, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

* If they're verified, please let us know where the information originates from.  It cannot and should not only be posted here as per WP:OR.  Ideally, it should be posted on the Ohayocon web site and AnimeCons.com so that the attendance figures could reference that.  Until then, it falls under WP:OR, is not "verified", and does not belong. --PatrickD 19:19, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Attendance counts 

message: With the recent IP edits removing negative information from The Oakland Post, why have the information about construction and wristbands remained? This information is also from the The Oakland Post. To me, this now seems to be an issue of censorship vs. reliable sources. Esw01407 (talk) 18:29, 4 February 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: As an outside observer, I note that The Oakland Post is a  student newspaper from a Michigan university and the cited article is clearly marked as a blog post.  This does not have the indices of a reliable source as we usually define it here, especially in terms of being a   This is therefore not an issue of censorship versus reliable sources, it is an issue of using the personal opinion of one writer in a non-reliable source to justify criticism.  To include this would be a violation of the neutral point of view policy:  Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 19:05, 4 February 2018 (UTC)
