Comment

Isn't there a Wiki on this website? If there isn't how can I start one --209.12.51.207 19:14, 7 March 2006 (UTC)?[reply]

Who writes HowStuffWorks articles? Wiki or company?

The writers write the articles.

Slogan

The slogan for HowStuffWorks is either "Learn How Everything Works" or "It's good to know". Does anyone know which one, so we can add it to the article? 99.254.204.28 (talk) 20:44, 18 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I updated the article and I used "It's good to know" as that one is the most used. -- iDosh!  talk? 17:32, 13 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Podcast

There's a HSW podcast titled "Stuff You Should Know" and hosted by staff writer Josh Clark along with some other staff writers and editors. It's been in the Itunes (for America) top 20 podcasts for a while now. I'm not sure of when it began, etc. so could someone else write this in for me? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.221.127.16 (talk) 17:28, 17 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Some criticism

Any article about a commercial entity must contain criticisms to avoid Wikipedia endorsing the company (this isn't US television after all). There must be some sources out there criticising the site. Personally this site seems typical of American websites in that it relies on list articles where each part of the list is divided into separate pages for the only reason of increasing page views and advertising revenue. Such a frustrating mess and tiring to keep clicking next. Additionally the huge presence of advertising is also an issue. --XANIA - ЗAНИAWikipedia talk | Wikibooks talk 01:22, 10 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
