Merging List of Reddit April Fools' Day events into this article

Right now the list of april fools article is essentially a worse version of the April Fools Day section of this article. There is a lot of primary sources, not enough WP:RS and a lot more WP:Fancruft details than necessary. A merge may be better Soni (talk) 11:31, 2 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

On the other hand, covering every year directly in this article seems a bit extraneous. Yeah, the successful ones, like the Button and Place, were covered widely enough to warrant a mention but the less successful ones aren't really that much more noteworthy than what any other company does for it's April Fools.

Personally, I'd slim down this article to just have a paragraph on April Fools, and make the list better. ― novov (t c) 08:06, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - I somewhat agree with Mir Novov; we could make the list article better by moving the section in this article off into the list, then make the section only a surface-level description. Rusty4321 ^{talk contribs} 15:57, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah the others have made sensible points. I can buy that. We should reduce the section in this article drastically though. Withdrawing. Soni (talk) 16:57, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Based on this discussion, I have slimmed down this article so it does not look like a copy of the List article. I think all the pertinent details I removed from there are now in the list article already. Left behind is roughly a paragraph, which should be of a reasonable size and still link to the relevant pages. Soni (talk) 17:14, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please add: what is the license for user content? Is it legal to download a subreddit and public it somewhere?

Vitaly Zdanevich (talk) 22:09, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Vitaly Zdanevich You will have to find that information from Reddit terms of use, not here. Not every information about every website will be encyclopediac to list here. Soni (talk) 09:19, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think this is an important question for Reddit - the very popular website. Vitaly Zdanevich (talk) 10:22, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Cluttered lead

Was gonna make some changes myself but thought I'd check in here first. The lead feels far too cluttered to me. Do we really need info on every funding round they ever had? This could surely be moved to the History section and the lead could be cleaned up. Also I would add a bit more mentioning of their site controversies, like the API controversy last year, and famously fickle userbase (I'm sure I can find sources for that if they're not already in the article). Any opinions on this are welcome. StewdioMACK (talk) 09:05, 30 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"Criticism of Reddit" as new article

This has likely been brought up in the past but "criticism of Reddit" could be its own article. It is different to Controversial Reddit communities as it more specifically concerns criticism of Reddit's management, of which there have been a LOT of incidents. I have done some restructuring on the Controversies section but wanted to start a dialogue. StewdioMACK (talk) 09:51, 30 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Company office address is incorrect

Article still lists the company headquarters location in SF as 1455 Market. It's been over a year since they deuced out to a downsized location in SoMa at 303 2nd. 2601:2C6:4A7F:8D40:8831:51E2:42D5:E6BA (talk) 00:47, 18 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed! 😊

Would Reddit and Antisemitism be a valid article?

WP:Three are JNS, Amadeu Antonio and Forward. A pleathers of media reporting (including but not limited to the ADL) is available.

Are there any objections to creating that? FortunateSons (talk) 11:51, 24 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I would recommend creating a section here first, probably under "controversies" - if consensus supports the material that you add and you find more information to support a full-size article, then that would be the time to create the article.

That's just my two cents - happy to let others weigh in!

Have a nice day!

JuxtaposedJacob (talk) 14:40, 24 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That’s probably a good idea either way, thanks. I’m primarily worried about the content being mostly undue here. FortunateSons (talk) 15:56, 24 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Having a small subsection, with good enough sources, wouldn't be undue, in my opinion. But a full article may be a step too far, unless the scope of the problem is widespread and there is notable ongoing coverage. ASpacemanFalls (talk) 07:50, 25 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Makes sense, thank you. I think there is good sustained coverage, but beyond “pure” notability, practicality is often a concern. Will do FortunateSons (talk) 14:54, 25 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Remove "(despite "anti-establishment" left-liberals agreeing with everything the establishment tells them)" from Community and Culture. This is an opinion by the original editor and clearly vandalism. Pad93 (talk) 13:59, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done Thank you for catching this, I've reverted the edit. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 17:16, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
