Specifically, I think we need to completely rewrite the history and layout sections, and consider shortening or moving the media attention page, or incorporating it into the rest of the article without having a big section paying attention to media attention and not the topics the media attention was covering. I think that using that using the Time and WSJ articles, in conjuction with the Press, News, and Advertising pages is something we should really work on. I think with the new information the article in Time and the Wall Street Journal has given, we have a bit more than just moot's alleged name that we can now reference and work into an article. _ Aside from his joke about Murdoch, this is assuredly done for public and monetary attention, which I'm guessing moot might think would be effective in helping him get moar money to take off to mootxico. Just because Time and WSJ say it, does it mean it's true? Piroteknix ( talk) 07:42, 11 July 2008 (UTC) I wonder if the same is true the other way around. Hey, according to wikipedia, information isn't factual unless it's reported by a reliable news source.
Umlautbob ( talk) 00:20, 11 July 2008 (UTC) I'd guess it really is trolling, considering what /b/ is called right now (its "hahahaha trolled bitches")- Kip Kip 00:30, 11 July 2008 (UTC) Name isn't blatant enough to say for sure it's a troll, but this IS moot we're talking about, and it would be awfully coincidental for both his initials and last name to become part of 4chan injokes. Leaving Christopher Poole in this article for one isnt factual, and secondly you're simply involuntarily pandering to moot, he trolled TIME magazine and now he's even affected wikipedia, wp mootykins or C.P. I don't see TWSJ saying, "his name is Christopher Poole and we know this because we saw his driver's license and his birth certificate". 66.50.34.57 ( talk) 18:31, 10 July 2008 (UTC) yeah, seems a bit odd, ive changed the infobox back to moot, but kept christopher poole in the body of the article (it does have a source after all)- Kip Kip 21:31, 10 July 2008 (UTC) Lev Grossman from Time Magazine: He's even ready to reveal his real name: it's Christopher Poole, he tells me.
The Wall Street Journal got trolled by m00t! lulz.
