I think the table misses the point-- all their bloggers are celebs to some degree.

And I do't like how it looks. --robotwisdom 20:15, 22 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I would certainly argue that it looks like crap right now, and your point about the celebrity of the bloggers is too relative to matter. If that's the problem, then I would suggest changing the header instead of destroying it. If not the tables, then you find some way to make this page look presentable.--TheGrza 20:24, May 22, 2005 (UTC)

I think it looks better without the tables, and makes more sense without them too. I don't think it's so easy to make a divide between 'celebrity' and 'non-celebrity'. Are most of the "non-celebrities" actually likely to have articles about them anytime soon? I would suggest we don't need to list them at all, it would be simpler to put "There are also many less well known personalities contributing to the Huffington Post" (or something better worded). I think it's more important to have an article saying more about what it is, and what sort of stance it takes, it's noteriety etc than having a list of names. -- Joolz 23:01, 22 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
I do think most of the 'red-link' names will have articles soon, but I haven't heard of most of them.. Nor do I really have a feel for the website as a whole, yet.--robotwisdom 23:09, 22 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Self-Reference

Could you please remove the Wikipedia self-reference from the end of the second paragraph. I would have done it myself but didn't know how to word it. Evil MonkeyHello 00:08, May 23, 2005 (UTC)

I added small notations about both people at the bottom of the other pages. I hope to actually write their biographies soon, but it's taken care of now.--TheGrza 00:17, May 23, 2005 (UTC)

Snarky comment

So...where's the article?

All I'm seeing is a list of loosely associated persons. -- Cyrius| 22:05, 24 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

We're waiting for you to write it?
My excuse for the long lists is that it's the easiest way to check who already has articles. I suspect the Wiki-correct way to list these names would be to create a category, but that wouldn't help for the names without articles. --robotwisdom 22:31, 24 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
I tend to agree with Cyrius, therefore I've removed all the non-notables (ie, those without articles) from this page, I've also tried to divide the notables into more managable sections. I don't think that merely contributing to this blog is reason enough for people to have their own articles either. -- Joolz 23:07, 24 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
