I have recreated this article because I feel it does have sufficient notability. Please note its Alexa ranking of 1,444 and its nearly 300,000 members and over one million posts to its forums. — TheKMan talk 23:43, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

I have deleted the notice about external references after adding the Reuters section Stratman07 ( talk) 18:34, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
Sorry if I put this in a wrong section, I'm not too familiar with Wikipedia. Anyway, I was seeking for a help of UG/Wiki community to expand the article and include some references to it, so we can keep the article. Obviously, Ultimate Guitar is the only big website that was able to stay alive while all other big websites have been closed down 212.44.76.186 11:09, 17 September 2007 (UTC)zappp
As a guitarist, I must say UG is significant. It is well known among guitarists, at least ones that I know. Non-musicians may not know this but tablature has revolutionized how people learn guitar. And the internet has allowed for another revolution in how tab is shared. UG is the most reliable and famous tab site on the net. THE MOST RELIABLE AND WELL KNOWN IN THE WORLD. I'm sure this is enough of a distinction to warrant its place in Wikipedia. 24.17.32.26 18:15, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
I think that under the notable members we should add Nolan Whyte, because his contributions with "In The Van On Comeback Road" as made him pretty well known, and just about every member on the site are in stitches while reading them... so he has some good contributions to the site. I'll leave it up to everyone else to decide before I go and edit the page. -- Lgndkllr777 22:56, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
As I've read over this article for awhile, and as an avid goer to the UG website, people have hailed Naidenov as "Zappp". Yet, somebody has edited his name as "Scum" which I highly doubt is his name.
NOTE: Now it says he's hailed as "czar..." His username's still Zappp, unless I missed him being promoted from admin to czar....
I have temporarily semi-protected the article since many new/anonymous users are vandalizing it or adding un-encyclopedic information. Mushroom ( Talk) 18:27, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
Is the semi-protected state still required given this occurred nearly 2 years ago? LemonairePaides ( talk) 04:29, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
I just removed this from the article:
"Please stop adding nonsense here. We don't want to hear about who the coolest member is or learn about the craziest thing he did one night while drunk. Vanity entries and additions intended to smear or mock other users of the site are vandalism, and those who add them will be referred to administrators.
Thank you."

Mods and Admins have gotten ban happy lately. It's getting crazy, I think they're gonna end up ruining the community they've worked hard on building. Turned it from just tabs to a guitarist community and it's heading back towards just tabs. more and more users are complaining and heading over to sites such as harmony central. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Boblahblahlawblog ( talk • contribs) 08:29, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
Why should we not be able to post about the pit? The pit is a major part of UG for most people that go there. That includes me. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Thepitmonkey ( talk • contribs) 04:33, 10 November 2007 (UTC) This pit is a huge part of UG for me.
It is the most-posted-in forum, but is just the general chat forum. The site's purpose is to offer instruction etc for guitarists, and most forums have a general chat area anyway. I'd also like to add that despite what newer members of UG may think, the memes often used in the Pit (the "Lol wut?" pear; Pedobear; Icy Hot; buttsecks; All Your Base etc) are products of the *chan boards, not UG, and therefore are unworthy of mention in this article. Stratman07 ( talk) 18:10, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
"Around 1500 tabs are added every few days." is thoroughly unhelpful. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 137.222.214.63 ( talk) 18:40, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
I agree. "A few days" can really be any number of days. I'd edit it myself it if the article wasn't semi-protected. What I would like to say is: "Large numbers of tabs are submitted daily by the community" Or something along those lines. Rpgoof ( talk) 19:22, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
should we say how many of the topics included in news now are credited to gibson.com and how it has become a source of contention for some users,and should we include other sources that are regurley refrenced in the news eg:NME etc... ????? —Preceding unsigned comment added by E1avenger ( talk • contribs) 03:18, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
That's an internal and fairly minor complaint. I wouldn't say that it's notable enough for the Wikipedia article Stratman07 ( talk) 19:11, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
On www.ultimate-guitar.com they mentioned in their news section that they have officially reached 1,000,000 (and still counting), and I was hoping someone would be able to edit this because I cannot due to the protection lock on it. Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Stevenmoreau ( talk • contribs) 02:45, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
This article is one of a small number (about 100) selected for the first week of the trial of the Wikipedia:Pending Changes system on the English language Wikipedia. All the articles listed at Wikipedia:Pending changes/Queue are being considered for level 1 pending changes protection.
The following request appears on that page:
Many of the articles were selected semi-automatically from a list of indefinitely semi-protected articles. Please confirm that the protection level appears to be still warranted, and consider unprotecting instead, before applying pending changes protection to the article. |
However with only a few hours to go, comments have only been made on two of the pages.
Please update the Queue page as appropriate.
Note that I am not involved in this project any more than any other editor, just posting these notes since it is quite a big change, potentially.

I'm trying to figure out how UltimateGuitar is notable. It's just another guitar website, and a poor one at that. Are we going to start putting up wikipedia pages for every website out there?
