Magnetized Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 Thanks for what you do, Dan. I subscribed to the Wilco Examiner a while back and never realized it was just one person. I thought it was some kind of automated web spidering service. I've occasionally spotted little gems that I might not have seen elsewhere, compulsive though I am. You do us proud!

bböp Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 I wasn't really aware of your site, or whatever, until you linked to it. I'm sure it's valuable to some people as a sort of aggregating tool. I did notice that you don't really credit the source from which you're pulling the setlists you post, though. Since I'm the source of some of that information, I guess I have a more vested interest than most. And I don't really care all that much; I've always posted setlists, etc., just for the benefit of any members of this community who I think might be interested in that stuff. The journalist in me, though, does feel a twinge of indignation over the fact that you've basically just appropriated that information. Sometimes you give attribution to things, but it seems to me that you ought to think about making that a more consistent practice where applicable, lest anyone think that you're coming up with original material.

wilcoexaminer Posted March 29, 2011 Author Share Posted March 29, 2011 Yes - you are right. I will credit folks for set lists or whatever info from now on. Please let me know if there's any I miss.Thanks,Daniel http://www.examiner.com/wilco-in-national/daniel-johnson Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wilcoexaminer Posted March 29, 2011 Author Share Posted March 29, 2011 Mr. Cheeztastic -How would you like to be credited? I can use your whole name if you like or just use "Mr. Cheeztastic" - whatever you prefer.Thanks,Dan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
H.Stone Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 If I may make a credit suggestion, use "Mancakes." Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The point is attribution should always be made when you're taking info from another source. Journalism 101. I'm not always the person who happens to post a setlist—mdpoet did it just the other night—so I don't know what others prefer in terms of how they want to be credited. But I would think that if you at least said you obtained "x" info from this forum (or wherever you got it from), that would be a step in the right direction. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Analogman Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 You should be able to go to Wilcobase and get all the setlists you want. It's just sort of behind at the moment. All you need to do is say - "setlist courtesy of Wilcobase". Information wants to be free. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wendy Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 I've moved the recent posts regarding Wilcobase over to the Wilcobase thread here: http://forums.viachicago.org/topic/1377-wilcobasecom/ To continue discussing "wilcoexaminer" though, post here in this thread. Thanks. Just spring cleaning! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sweetheart-mine Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Information wants to be free.analogman, well put, that is a really great belief and line. i want to see it every day. i can write it on my wall but also want to carry it around with me. maybe a bumper sticker?

Analogman Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Information wants to be free The iconic phrase which is now used in different types of discourse is originally attributed to Stewart Brand. In the end of 1960s, Stewart Brand founded counterculture Whole Earth Catalog with main idea that technology could be liberating rather than oppressing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
