Talk:Alex Beam

References to Wikipedia

I'm moving this here for discussion:

In his Boston Globe column of March 12 2007<ref name="Globe3-12">"Tricky Truths Behind Wikipedia" Boston Globe article by Alex Beam</ref>, he wrote about his own Wikipedia entry and the steps he had to take to correct inaccuracies about his views of Canada<ref name="Canada">"No, Canada!" Boston Globe article by Alex Beam</ref> and the nature of publicly edited encyclopedias.

This is self-referential and gives undue weight to his discussion of this project. If someone would like to present a case for including it in the main article, let's discuss. Jokestress 21:29, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

FYI, Wikipedia Weekly Episode 16 mentions this article. --Kevinkor2 17:13, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

In his column, Alex mentions, "I complained about my entry through Wikipedia's dissent channel." What is Wikipedia's dissent channel? Who monitors it? --Kevinkor2 17:13, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Probably either WP:OTRS or through the Contact us email option pon the left. In either case, it is self-referential and a minor event in his career. Jokestress 17:21, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the reply.--Kevinkor2 17:49, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
