Debate:Should there be a separate section on the main page for blogs, advertisements and other non-news items? (view source)
Revision as of 05:10, May 12, 2013
, 05:10, May 12, 2013→No: and explanation/reply... I apologize for the poor phrasing of the topic I wished to have debated.
It's supposed to be an encyclopedia. The main problem with the main page content is that it's a collection of fringe opinion where it is not blatantly false. An encyclopedia should at the very least attempt to publish only established facts and defensible opinion. --[[User:TonySidaway|TonySidaway]] 22:37, 6 May 2013 (EDT)

I feel like I might not have done a great job of phrasing the initial question...
:*[[User:DamianJohn|DamianJohn]] The question isn't about agreement or disagreement or even the topics covered in the posts... it's about the definition, provided at the top of MPR, of what should be posted there... specifically, "News the MSM isn't covering". Blogs with a person or group of people's opinions is not news, it's commentary and editorializing.
:*[[User:Wschact|Wschact]] and [[User:TonySidaway|TonySidaway]], on a personal level, I agree with your statements here 100% and if it was up to me they wouldn't be appearing on the main page at all. However, as witnessed by the repeated dismissal and ignoring of anyone who makes these suggestions on [[Talk:Main Page|Main Page]] and elsewhere, this clearly isn't an option that any of the sysops are open to. Therefore, I'm merely suggesting that if they're going to put it on the main page no matter what, it should at least go in a section that isn't labeled as "news."
