Hi if it's appropriate for this page, I would like my new forum to be entered under B - "Boreal Blue: A Hub For Wilderness Explorers, Field Naturalists, and Outdoor Enthusiasts". Thanks in advance! 142.165.115.29 (talk) 06:20, 21 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Not done Forums need to be notable enough for a Wikipedia article to be included on the list. No I don’t think it would be appropriate. Equine-man (talk) 06:21, 21 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Why can't smaller forums be entered? How are forums which cover new niches supposed to grow? 142.165.115.29 (talk) 06:24, 21 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

If this is not appropriate, then I propose you change the title of this page to "List of Notable Forums" as currently it is not very truthful if it only shows well established forums, fairly biased presentation of this information in that case. I say this respectfully, by the way, and value Wikipedia wholeheartedly. 142.165.115.29 (talk) 06:31, 21 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

"I propose you change the title of this page to "List of Notable Forums" as currently it is not very truthful"...

I agree utterly. I opened this page and was all "WTF? Where is.......?" While all of Wikipedia is 'notable', insisting on an Article is a high hurdle and should be a lot clearer. PRR (talk) 19:58, 14 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Per WP:LISTNAME, it isn't necessary to make such explanations within the title. Asking for an article first is common practice in lists, especially for lists like these that are prone to WP:SPAM. There is already an invisible comment in the lead that requires articles for entires, and I have just rewritten the visible text of the lead to make it clear that this is a list of notable forums.

Minecraft Forum was an Internet Forum website used for talk about various video games and internet issues unrelated to Minecraft. I'm shocked it's not present on this list. 2601:540:CA81:B3C0:52F:A14D:9CB1:D08F (talk) 04:29, 25 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: Only forums which already have a Wikipedia article are listed here – I can't see one for Minecraft Forum. Tollens (talk) 07:12, 25 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Requesting the addition of FanClubs.org, which is a website for Sports, Gaming, and Entertainment Forums. 136.56.48.158 (talk) 08:25, 7 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not done for now: this article only includes links to other Wikipedia articles, and FanClubs.org does not have a Wikipedia article. ––FormalDude (talk) 08:41, 7 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

GistfulNaija Forum is an online community platform based in Nigeria, focusing on a wide range of topics including Nigerian news, entertainment, lifestyle, and general discussions. Established in [Year of Establishment], the forum has grown to become a notable space for Nigerians to engage in vibrant and informative discussions.

The platform distinguishes itself by providing a localized Nigerian perspective on various issues, fostering a sense of community among its members. GistfulNaija Forum also integrates social media elements, allowing users to interact in a dynamic and modern way. This integration reflects the evolving nature of internet forums in the digital age, especially in engaging younger, tech-savvy audiences.

The forum’s popularity stems from its user-friendly interface and its commitment to providing a safe and respectful environment for discourse. As a hub for Nigerian culture and current affairs, it serves as an important online gathering space for Nigerians both at home and in the diaspora. 78.135.11.127 (talk) 01:14, 10 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. Geardona (talk to me?) 01:48, 10 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your feedback. I would like the following specific changes to be made:

1. Year of Establishment: Please update “[Year of Establishment]” to “2020” as that was the year GistfulNaija Forum was founded.

2. Forum Focus: In the first sentence, please change “focusing on a wide range of topics including Nigerian news, entertainment, lifestyle, and general discussions” to “focusing on a wide range of topics, with a special emphasis on Nigerian news, entertainment, business, lifestyle, and general discussions.”

3. Localized Perspective: In the second paragraph, change “providing a localized Nigerian perspective” to “providing authentic Nigerian perspectives from diverse tribal and cultural backgrounds.”

I hope this clarifies the request. Let me know if further details are needed. Dyket (talk) 23:18, 12 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This is a list of forums with preexisting English Wikipedia articles. GistfulNaija does not have an article thus it should not be listed here. MrOllie (talk) 23:30, 12 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
