Talk:Advogato

message: If you have an Advogato account and want to network with other Wikipedians who are also members of that site, I've created some templates Template:User_advogato-0, Template:User_advogato-1 etc which should be self-explanatory.  They take one parameter, which is the Advogato username.  Thus for an apprentice with an account called "fredbloggs", put this on your user page:

thread_title: Advogato templates for Wikipedians

message: The article needs to better explain why advogato, mod_virgule & sites that experiment with genuinely new ideas are worthwhile, but at this stange I think it is foolish to slap on notability notices without making the case beforehand on the talk page. --- Charles Stewart(talk) 12:29, 30 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: To me, the article establishes its notability quite well. It explains how the site was the first in a notable area and the participation of notable members of the FOSS community. I'm removing the notice, and I agree with Chalst. If anyone feels it still is non-notable, it should be discussed here, as we have three separate members agreeing that it is notable.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kyle Maxwell (talk • contribs) 17:36, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Notability

message: Advogato is historically important because of its implementation of the trust metric.  I came to the wikipedia just now because I needed to cite advogato in a conversation about computer science.  Therefore, it is sufficiently notable and should not be deleted. --Zooko 2008-08-15
Added as subsection.  Zooko is presumably Zooko, who has long been involved in the discussion of the ideas behind advogato. --- Charles Stewart(talk) 12:29, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Zooko's assertion of notability

message: http://cyborg.blogspot.com/2009/10/trustmetric.html is a rebuttal response by Mentifex to the ill-advised Advogato Has Failed reference cited in the Wikipedia article about Advogato. Posted 206.188.44.249 (talk) 00:11, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: This article needs to document this properly. — Charles Stewart (talk) 09:27, 7 September 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Site inactive 

message: Some time after taking the site down, Steven Rainwater made the URL point to a 2017 archive of the site on the Wayback Machine. For some strange reason, the archives of the site there have been removed, but they are still available at web.archive.org, cf. e.g., https://web.archive.org/web/20170628063222/http://www.advogato.org/article/89.html
There are quite a few links to Advogato content from Wikipedia, on pages like this and Raph Levien: perhaps we should create a template, rather than relying on SR's attempts to keep the old links alive? — Charles Stewart (talk) 09:48, 19 February 2020 (UTC)
