"Huffington Post CEO Betsy Morgan and co-founder Jonah Peretti dismissed criticisms that the liberal-leaning news aggregation site's traffic could plummet after 2008 election buzz quiets down, saying that over half the site's traffic now comes from its non-politics sections. "We're in six verticals, (and) we're going to many more," Morgan said. The Huffington Post now "employs" 1,600 unpaid bloggers but has fewer than 50 full-time employees, and has seen its traffic triple in the past seven months." [4] "In December, the Huffington Post raised another $25 million in funding. It was riding a wave of popularity--and scrutiny, considering its controversial views on paying for content and labor--in the wake of the 2008 presidential election, and was starting to aggressively expand coverage beyond politics. Long-term profitability, however, was still a question mark.In December, the Huffington Post raised another $25 million in funding.

The concept had significant usage in Greco-Roman times, it's hardly a neologism at least as far as written history goes. We could rename the article the Latin equivalent, but that almost never flies on the English wikipedia (maybe okay for Romanesque wiki's like French, Spanish, or Italian, but not this one).

Even if Voluntary slavery is deleted this discussion has been good. why aren't we being paid to make the entries in Wikipedia? why do web journalist overwelmingly get zip while others get rich over there labour? unpaid journalist might not be insulted but might demand payment if they knew they were Voluntary slaves. Jane Benn ( talk) 21:36, 27 July 2009 (UTC) reply "Content may well be king but it feels so wrong to me that the content on The Huffington Post is obtained for free by luring writers with promises of “visibility, promotion and distribution.” Sure, it cannot harm your career to have an article published on the site, something which I’m unlikely now ever to manage after writing this article, but there should surely be some monetary compensation for the writers involved."

"Huffington Post CEO Betsy Morgan and co-founder Jonah Peretti dismissed criticisms that the liberal-leaning news aggregation site's traffic could plummet after 2008 election buzz quiets down, saying that over half the site's traffic now comes from its non-politics sections. "We're in six verticals, (and) we're going to many more," Morgan said. The Huffington Post now "employs" 1,600 unpaid bloggers but has fewer than 50 full-time employees, and has seen its traffic triple in the past seven months." [4] "In December, the Huffington Post raised another $25 million in funding. It was riding a wave of popularity--and scrutiny, considering its controversial views on paying for content and labor--in the wake of the 2008 presidential election, and was starting to aggressively expand coverage beyond politics. Long-term profitability, however, was still a question mark.In December, the Huffington Post raised another $25 million in funding.

The concept had significant usage in Greco-Roman times, it's hardly a neologism at least as far as written history goes. We could rename the article the Latin equivalent, but that almost never flies on the English wikipedia (maybe okay for Romanesque wiki's like French, Spanish, or Italian, but not this one). Far better this translation than its historical latin counterpart. -- Firefly322 ( talk) 23:44, 1 August 2009 (UTC) reply

The article in question references a hypothesized recon satellite but offers no sources to back up its claims, and I can find nothing of note on google.

re Miracle CenterHello, Schumin. I noticed your message that you nominated my article, Miracle Center, for deletion. Apparently, it violates some sort of Wikipedia policy for relevance. Although I consider myself very much a novice in the world of Wiki, I remember one day browsing through several Wiki articles hoping to learn about some of the local shopping malls in the area. Several of the articles were interesting, and I noticed Miracle Center was not on the list. I figure a Miami list of shopping malls, existing or otherwise, wouldn't be complete without Miracle Center on the list. Currently, the Miracle Center is being remodeled and has partially reopened.

Well, unless we're going to start deleting all shopping malls from Wiki, I don't know we'd single this one out for deletion, especially since it's making a turnaround and has several stores advertised on its signs, such as Petsmart, Nordstrom Rack, Bed, Bath & Beyond and Bally's fitness club, which is the only business there from its original opening.
