SubsonicRadio gets credit on wikipedia

Post by **subsonic** » Jun Thu 22, 2006 10:36 am

I keep track of referring sites. I was surprised to see I was mentioned on Wikipedia.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_Mountain At the very bottom!

I wonder who made that.

Wow, maybe Wikipedia will start linking you on more Disney lookups. All Disney fans around the world will know Subsonic. The site will become huge! Congrats!!

Hopefully other wikipedia users won't deem the link not relevant enough to an entry specifically on Space Mountain...

By the way, I don't know if anyone knows how Wikipedia works, but quite literally anyone can add/remove/alter content on any page.

I say we take full advantage of that and start putting Subsonic links up.

Yes, a lot of people don't realize wikipedia is literally a conglomeration of what people post, whether it is relevent or not. There are many times people use it as a reference to actually cite when what they could be using could potentially be completely false. In theory other users would correct the content but it's not always the case.

Be careful trying to spam all the disney wikis with subsonic refrences. The gods get angered mighty easilly around there and could potentially ban any reference to Subsonicradio if they so choose.

Moderation, grasshopper, moderation.

I agree with Shinku, I think we should voluntarily remove Subsonradio from the Space Mountain page now. If there is a page about Disney Theme Park Audio streaming internet radio stations, that's where we fit. Not on the Space Mountain page. Maybe on a general Disneyland page, but that's a big maybe.

It's cool, but it'll get pulled off eventually. I think preventing that blackeye is a good idea. How many referrals are we really getting from there?

SR has nothing to do with Space Mountain. It would be more appropriate on the WDW general page, if you ask me.

That what the message I posted earlier was trying to say. I put it on the WDW general Page. However, I have not put up any more links to Subsonic yet, and since everyone thinks it may be a bad idea to do so, I won't. But I do agree with Quickgold about the WDW general page, I see no harm in it being there.

The golden rule at Wikipedia is relevance. And there are good reasons beyound angering the wikigods to stick to that principle... for one, any trust people have in wikipedia is based on the fact that the community is constantly editing for relevance, and for two... no one likes a spammer.

Let's make a new entry on Wikipedia:
Disney Theme Park Audio and Music

We can talk about the history of the audio and music in the parks. The audio design, the legacy, the uprising of streaming radio online, the unofficial 50th retrospective re-mix, etc.

I'd be happy to add to anyone's first go at an entry.

And then Subsonicradio can be the first link in the list.

Completely legit.

Subsonic Radio
