07.25.23 | "yet Sputnik is listed in lots of articles' review boxes and/or Reception sections. seems dumb."
from about 10 minutes of reading around this, getting myself into the headspace of someone who routinely wiki edits (literally kill me) and weighing up the number and nature of references on sput's still active french page (https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sputnikmusic), the deal is:
・no indication that sputnik is an unsuitable source for album reviews
・the page for sputnik was unsuitable by wiki standards bc it didn't have enough independent sources attesting to and analysing the site's existence in sufficient depth
・and um yeah finding that kinda coverage/discussion of the site is not an easy task
finding it cited is easy (https://www.google.pl/search?tbm=bks&hl=pl&q=Sputnikmusic); finding the right content to affirm that it demands its own wiki page, uhhh |

I feel like I see less and less sputnik referenced in critics sections for more modern music these days. Which stinks =[ |
Mort.
07.25.23 | seems a bit crazy when we get mentioned in bands press releases, host interviews with bands, have had mentions in other publications and are reasonably high up in google searches for album reviews |
pizzamachine
07.25.23 | Made a new page, yer welcome. If anyone has sources go ahead |

ArsMoriendi
07.25.23 | Tbh I remember the page and it isn’t that it’s not notable, it’s that no one maintained it beyond really minor things. A lot of the Sputnikmusic page looked like it was from 2014 or something |
Koris

Unfortunately I've noticed the same thing. I barely see Sputnik referenced anymore when it comes to modern releases |

07.25.23 | Johnny talked with me on how to create the page as it is now. If anyone has more credible sources that legitimize Sputnikmusic please add them. |
chemicalmarriage
07.25.23 | 3 kills and 0 keeps lmfao |
pizzamachine
07.25.23 | Anyone else wanna contribute lol. My attempt didn’t work today |
JohnnyoftheWell
07.25.23 | right yeah, so no-one else publish anything half-baked for the time being - will be deleted on sight and just raise the odds of the page title being protected *against* creation, which is endgame territory
if a new page is ever going to go up, it will need independent sources verifying the site's notability. this does *not* include sputnik being cited as a source, which is a completely different issue
see this: https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=OUD8DwAAQBAJ&pg=PA390&#v=onepage&q&f=false
and this: https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=RlBIy32VVTYC&pg=PA538&#v=onepage&q&f=false
for relevant examples
post anything you think is helpful here and do not do anything to further antagonise the joyless schmucks over at wiki |

SomeCallMeTim
07.25.23 | real question tho, if the site went down for good.. what would y'all do? would one of you try to make some type of second-coming, move to a different source to waste time for music, etc. ? |

what happened with colton I am out of the loop |
Butkuiss
07.26.23 | Uh tl;dr Colton copped a ban because they either confessed to or tried very hard to falsely create the impression that they were the one who took down the forums as part of a Machiavellian ploy to create a mass exodus to his as-yet entirely nonfunctional alternative website, coltonmusic dot com.
Like a bad marvel villain they keep coming back too but the alts almost instantly cop a ban too. It’s great entertainment. |
MoM
07.26.23 | Then Colton broke into Andcas’s apartment and pissed on him while he was sleeping and created The Ring like chain of events of passing it on |
Butkuiss
07.26.23 | Oh my god andcas still exists??? |
ffs
07.26.23 | coltonmusic.com will have the longest wikipedia page of all time btw |

07.26.23 | Andcas wasn’t wise like young Colton. Andcas didn’t hire someone to hack sputnikmusic.com and after seven days, Andcas drowned in a urinal, holding tight to a urinal cake, bubblegum scented |

07.26.23 | "Dying? Seriously?"
Piss-take probably, but in the relatively short time I've posted here there's been several times it's hobbled like a 105-year-old whose fake hip expired a quarter of a century ago.
It's a great forum, but its ancient skeleton just appears held together through collective will and sellotape. |
CugnoBrasso
07.26.23 | That wiki is probably Jeffery's best idea, I wish somebody could expand it |
foxblood
07.26.23 | >'Sputnikmusic has a generally negative reputation on the internet. The site's community has been somewhat ostracized and mocked on sites like Reddit as well as smaller music forums, due to (mostly true) allegations of toxicity and elitism. This is in addition to a phase in the mid 2010's where mods were excessively banning innocent users (not so much today). For years, newer users have been harassed/flamed by older users in an attempt to get them to improve their content to general Sputnik standards. It can be argued that these older users are power tripping, elitist assholes, however the general new user attitude is arrogant, insensitive, and typically cannot take genuine constructive criticism, making this situation a lose-lose for both parties.'
lmao this entire part of made up bullshit reads like an assblasted ex-user who has a grudge |
