Talk:Countdown with Keith Olbermann

Removed link to forum listings

Links to fan forums and message boards are in clear violation of Wiki rules, summarized below:

1) Links that are added to promote a site. See External link spamming.

2) Blogs, social networking sites (such as MySpace) and forums should generally not be linked to. Although there are exceptions, such as when the article is about, or closely related to, the website itself, or if the website is of particularly high standard.

There is nothing new or original or special about the message board which was previously listed here: Keitholbermann.org. Despite its owners contention that it is the only Keith Olbermann forum on the internet, this is a lie. There is a huge Keith Olbermann fan forum at Democratic Underground. There is another at Television without Pity and two more at Quick Topics. Either all of these fan forums should be listed here or none. I chose to make it none. While I'm sure the owners and/or moderators of all of these sites feel that their sites are special, under Wiki rules, none of them fits the definition of being of a "particularly high standard". While Olbermann.org meets Wiki guidelines, the link to KeithOlbermann, or any other web forum or message board does not. Also, Olbermann.org links to all of these other webforums at their site. That should be quite sufficient and eliminate the prospect of someone using Wiki to promote a link to their own site, again, a clear violation of Wiki rules. -Jeff-

Restored link to fan site mentioned earlier after discussion on "Keith Olbermann" page. Included links to ALL such message boards and fan groups. Please refer to talk discussion on that page for stats on each of these pages in terms of page hits, members, and total number of posts, as well as establishment dates. I still vehemently disagree that such sites should be listed here, as they are no such links at the sites for CNN, MSNBC, Fox, or any of the broadcast news networks, nor are their any such fan forums listed on the pages devoted to such personalities as Anderson Cooper, Bill O'Reilly, Shephard Smith, Rush Limbaugh, or Larry King. However, in the interest of fairness, if one such fan forum has to be listed for Keith Olbermann, all such forums should be listed. So it is here. JeffBerg
