This talkpage has been mentioned by a media organization:

Matthew Gault (8 December 2021). "Wikipedia Editors Very Mad About Jimmy Wales' NFT of a Wikipedia Edit". Vice Media. The trouble began when Wales posted an announcement about the auction on his user talk page—a kind of message board where users communicate directly with each other.

Complaint about Fandom

Hi!

Recently, Fandom pages have been occasionally, periodically, redirecting my phone to mildly sussy sites. This is extremely annoying and detracts from the already slender respectability of Fandom's overall user experience.

I don't know how closely involved with Fandom you still are, but the very public nature of this forum makes it a good place in my view to air this. RadioactiveBoulevardier (talk) 04:47, 23 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That's interesting and doesn't sound great but it's not from anything that Fandom is doing. If you could email me some details using the link here, that'd be great. This really isn't the right forum for this though, so let's carry on in a different venue!--Jimbo Wales (talk) 18:49, 23 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Jimbo, did you forget the link, or am I being silly? GoldRomean (talk) 00:09, 8 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A barnstar for you!
