For the person who has time on their hands, lonely and wanting company. Heck im doing it but now im thinking of dissolving it.

Capitalization

is it Myspace or MySpace? every time it is said on the site it is MySpace, but the pages titles show Myspace.com --AlexTheMartian 05:33, Jan 23, 2005 (UTC)

It's MySpace. The article isn't named "MySpace" probably because someone made it "Myspace" first. --Alex12 3 02:21, 25 May 2005 (UTC)

This is strange, as I have seen it as "MySpace", "Myspace", and "myspace". Upon visiting Myspace.com, you will see that the page title is indeed "Myspace.com", yet within the page it is refered to as "MySpace", and internal advertisements show it as "myspace".

Irrelevant

No one has posted anything as to *why* it should be cleaned up. I see no problem at all with the aritcle's quality. I'm removing the cleanup notice. ~~

  • While this article isn't particularly in need of cleanup, it is still very much in need of attention. Much of the prose is quite clumsy, and the founding section in particular is poorly written. I am trying to find more articles about MySpace that would lend insight into some of the details of its birth. If anyone can help out with this I would be much obliged.

  • The article comes across as slightly fawning -- almost a commercial -- and too detailed: do Wikipedia readers really *care* when "emptying the trash" was introduced?

Racist?

Hard to believe that someone would have a problem with there being too many anti-racist groups. -- Riffsyphon1024 04:44, May 15, 2005 (UTC)

The argument is that different views have been effectively outlawed. --Alex12 3 02:24, 25 May 2005 (UTC)

"Racist Groups"

Could someone with more information clarify this section? Are they banned from an "anti-racist" group, or banned from MySpace? --Alex12 3 22:48, 29 May 2005 (UTC)

Until clarification can be provided, I've removed the following from the article: 

    There are also allegations of political bias. Numerous "anti-racist"
    organizations are allowed in the groups section that profess violence
    towards "racists", and anyone thought to be associated with racism is
    banned, despite any respect for the rules.

If this is just user behavior, well, that's too bad, users can do whatever they want, and this therefore isn't appropriate for the article. If someone can confirm and prove that this goes up to MySpace administration, however, then it is worthy of being placed back in the article. --Alex12 3 23:10, 29 May 2005 (UTC)

Name

I think the correct title of this article should be "MySpace.com" .. everywhere on the site, even throughout the entire Terms of Use Agreement, it is named as MySpace.com .. the only thing that is not, is many of the page titles are "Myspace.com", and the logo is "myspace".. but logos does not signify the correct capitalization or name of the company.. some companys' logos are just an acronym for the company, or have a certain capitalization in use for the design of the logo, etc. so I think either the title of this article be MySpace.com or MySpace. -- AlexTheMartian | Talk 18:11, Jun 12, 2005 (UTC)

ok.. I am renaming it MySpace. It seems like someone just looked at the logo and figured the correct capitalization was "myspace", correct me if im wrong. -- AlexTheMartian | Talk 18:15, Jun 12, 2005 (UTC)

Attention

Some of this article's prose is pretty clumsy at the moment, perhaps because of its sparse edit history. —shoecream 05:59, July 10, 2005 (UTC)

By sparse I mean that I looked at the wrong page history. It need attention anyway. —shoecream

MySpace Editor

The link seems to be down, but I'm leaving it on for now, as it might just be undergoing maintenance. --Ixfd64 00:55, 2005 July 11 (UTC)

The links are working fine for me, the only problem I've seen is that some of the articals and sections dont show up until you refresh the page. Maybe this could be fixed? -- 17:14, 2005 July 16

Links should be provided only to relevant Wikipedia articles; this article suffers from a plague of irrelevant links to year, month, date articles.

Could these be cut back a bit, please? They're distracting and add nothing useful for readers. (Who cares what else happened on the same date in history as MySpace introduced "customisable name-URLs"?) Attempting to put minor MySpace updates on the same historical plane as wars, births, and deaths comes over as hubristic and self-aggrandizing.

Bought

MySpace has been bought by News Corp (known for owning Fox)... someone should update this article to reflect all that.
