Twitter!?[edit]

Can we please remove the twitter feeds? Very, very annoying. (http://www.andrewlih.com/blog/feed/) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.94.184.49 (talk) 12:38, 28 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Picture-of-the-Day[edit]

I've re-added these because I think they provide an interesting insight into the workings of the respective wikipedias. It would be nice if we could do this for more of our sites, so as to get a wider perspective on what's happening on a day-to-day basis. The remover gave the reason as being connected to the "signal/noise ratio": I'm not actually certain how this works, maybe they could explain? If this is a problem for people, maybe we could arrange for tags so that people could filter down to those entries in which they are most interested.

I like them a whole lot and was most pleased to see them in the feed this morning - David Gerard 12:22, 23 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have changed the POTD feed to a single feed for all (currently three) projects. I hope this also resolves the problem that the images themselves didn't show up in the feed... actually, no HTML at all was included by the aggrgator. I put a lot of meta-info about the image itself into the feed, using various XML specs like RDF and FOAF - maybe planet doesn't like that. Or it just likes atom better. We'll see I guess. -- G.

Thank you! The new pictures-of-the-day / gallery-of-the-day looks great, the pictures come through looking lovely, and condensing all 3 in one daily feed item should hopefully reduce concerns about signal-to-noise ratios. -- All the best, Nickj (t) 01:42, 25 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That's an excellent idea, and should also make sure that if another set of images becomes available, they show up automagically. —Phil | Talk 08:36, 2 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

time bug[edit]

This isn't a huge deal, but I find it a little frustrating that my posts a few other people's get timestamped hours earlier than they are posted, while some other people's posts end up timestamped hours later. Thus, the latest posts are not always at the top, and on busy days it's easy to lose track of some of the ones that start out 5 posts down.--ragesoss 18:17, 29 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No hotlink in Google Reader feed for our blog?[edit]

I've noticed that the WikiProject Oregon blog doesn't have a hotlink in my blog feed, thought it does on the blog planet webpage itself. I can't figure out if this is because of my feed settings or the settings of blog or ??? Any ideas? Let me know if there is a better place to ask this question. Thanks!

Thanks for sticking with this question Katr -- it'd be great to learn the answer to this one! -Pete (talk)

Removing the Shankbone blog[edit]

The last two posts in this blog have been offensive to living persons. While the piece about the British actor was removed, the latest piece about a Fox News Journalist is also offensive. This material has nothing to do with Wikipedia; The user is banned. What is this doing on this blog feed?

I have removed this blog from the feed. Before it is added again, clearly some sort of discussion needs to take place. Friedspinach (talk) 11:34, 10 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The content isn't hosted on the English Wikipedia, and isn't subject to our rules. This page is just for allowing folks to add their Wikipedia-related blogs to the aggregator, it isn't a convenient location for would-be censors. Nathan^T 17:10, 15 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

yes but these blog posts were not Wikipedia related. At the very least, this should stay deleted until some sort of consensus has been achieved. Friedspinach (talk) 23:25, 17 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Every post doesn't need to be Wikipedia related in order to qualify, and if you want to go by consensus then we probably need consensus for it to be removed (its been put back). Nathan^T 02:18, 18 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

OxyGeek[edit]

At first I thought it was wonderful that this blog was added. Fantastic to have a blog about wiki-matters and open content in the Arabic language. I started reading it in translation.

But recently it also features what at the very best might forgivingly be called politics and what might more realistically be a hateful call for war and genocide; see here. Whether the UN is right or wrong, it is still not the topic that should ever fill the top of the screen at Open Wiki Blog Planet. If it is, then contrary political blogs might be added too... Needs to be removed. Dovi (talk) 14:07, 4 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Stopped updating[edit]

At the moment, the most recent entry shown is from May 31, even though there are plenty of newer items in the feeds. (For example, this posting from [1] does not appear, even though it came out on June 1st.)

Regards, HaeB (talk) 12:58, 5 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It caught up after the above comment, but currently it is backlogged again, with the newest entry dating from July 16. Regards, HaeB (talk) 22:33, 25 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Again it has stopped updating, last updated in December 2011. 173.166.109.241 (talk) 23:59, 24 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Still not working. Any news, anyone? Sam Wilson 04:34, 28 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
