Change of position

[edit]

I believe, from what I've gathered, that Salon no longer is writing "from a politically progressive or left-wing perspective" as the article says, but rather a right to far-right perspective. Not only is there the previous section about antisemitism to back that up, but also its endorsment by the alt-right (proof). I strongly encourage further research to be made in this direction, specifically how and why it changed its political stance. 7dare (talk) 22:07, 15 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This position is not factual, Salon.com just today called the Republican Party a "Terrorist Organization". Is Salon.com considered a reliable source? 66.68.178.180 (talk) 02:19, 9 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@66.68.178.180: There is no consensus about the reliability of Salon per WP:Perennial sources Dronebogus (talk) 02:43, 11 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox: website or newspaper

[edit]

There's an RfC on whether a news website should use {{Infobox website}} or {{Infobox newspaper}}: Talk:The Times of Israel#RfC on infobox. --Triggerhippie4 (talk) 14:02, 5 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Curious what the original URL was

[edit]

It wasn't salon.com until well into 1999:

February 21, 1999 - Hairstylists

April 23, 1999 - Newsmagazine

The result of the move request was: moved. (closed by non-admin page mover) Lennart97 (talk) 20:42, 17 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]


Salon (website)Salon.com – The last discussion of this article’s title was in 2012 (link), over whether to move the article from "Salon.com" to "Salon (website)", and it closed as "not moved" (though maybe "no consensus" would have been more accurate). However, the article was then moved to "Salon (website)" after the admin that closed the RM appears to have changed their mind and moved the article to "Salon (website)", the current title. Aside from this, my rationale for proposing a move back to Salon.com is as follows:

For these reasons, I believe the article should be moved back to "Salon.com". —pythoncoder (talk | contribs) 20:17, 10 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Passed away

[edit]

There are quite a few people listed as staff on this page who passed away in the last 5 years. Spoonpassport (talk) 04:24, 26 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Sources? And the page isn't protected so you can update this yourself. — Bilorv (talk) 10:47, 26 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I can't update it because of a conflict, but the information on current staff can be easily found by looking at the site's masthead. Particularly troubling is none of the current staff or management of color are mentioned anywhere in this article at all. Spoonpassport (talk) 15:49, 27 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
