Ads in cash

[edit]

There was an advertisement for adult services in the wikipedia text itself from a guy named Charlie with a phone number for what I assume was some romance/sex service: "Looking for who to spend time with talk to dance eat or just have a good conversation +1 906 210 3380 book your favorite person today. Payment in cash ." Removed for advertising and soliciting (what I think is) prostitution on a wikipedia page. Watch this page in case it is botted.

Reducing Focus of Craigslist Personals

[edit]

For some reason, a significant portion of this article discusses the history and controversy around Craigslist personal services. Certainly Craigslist personals is worth mentioning (as it did compete with Backpage), but as a lot of the controversy surrounding it is already covered on the Craigslist Wikipedia page. It shouldn't be the focus of the article like it is right now Griffn29 (talk) 22:21, 19 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

2059?

[edit]

Thanks for noting the error; I've removed this from the article. If anyone has a reliable source to say when it officially dissolved, please add to the main text of the article as well as the infobox. Thanks. GnocchiFan (talk) 18:09, 9 February 2026 (UTC)Reply
The entry was part of a broader vandal addition a few days ago. I've reverted back to the revision immediately before the vandal's edit, as the previous fix left in place other damage. cheers. anastrophe, an editor he is. 19:04, 9 February 2026 (UTC)Reply
