How did you find us?

Windsor · December 27, 2012, 05:54:48 PM

Something that always comes to find is this: How do members find us? I mean, do they mostly come through a search on Google? A link found on Twitter? A Facebook post? or by being referred here by someone?

Now, not all users are registered members, so I am allowing guest to vote on this poll. :thumbsup: :hug:

I typed in "Prince William Gossip" in Google about 10 years ago

Windsor · December 27, 2012, 06:14:32 PM

Amazing how time flies, eh? :blank: :teehee:

cinrit · December 27, 2012, 07:21:38 PM

I think I just googled something like "royalty discussion forums" or something. It was a little over two years ago, a week or so before the engagement announcement.

I found it through Google sometime in 2011. I looked at some other forums as well, but this seemed the fairest - including those who were critical and also those who were favorable towards the royals. And somehow all posters got along, which was refreshing!

WOW · December 31, 2012, 01:25:51 AM

I found this site back in 2004 by googling Prince William's girlfriend :lol:

chavita · January 02, 2013, 09:54:15 PM

Found this forum by googling everything about Harry :P 8 years ago, long before Facebook and Twitter accounts.

I found Royal Insight through the forum's Wikipedia page a month ago, and decided to sign up yesterday! :computer:

Jenee · January 21, 2013, 12:08:56 PM

Welcome to the forum!
Just out if curiosity, how did you stumble upon our wiki page? Seems kind of random!

It is random, isn't it? :teehee:

I'm a member on Wikipedia and typed in 'Categories:Internet Forums' and Royal Insight came up, thought the forum sounded interesting, so I clicked on the link!

Jenee · January 22, 2013, 12:33:58 AM

Cool... And random :lol: So are you one of those people that checks and edits wiki pages?

Windsor · January 22, 2013, 09:56:36 AM

I check and edit pages too, though I must confess that I have not been doing this for the past year or so. :no: :shrug:

cinrit · January 22, 2013, 11:35:59 AM

Can't anyone edit Wikipedia pages? I've made corrections on a few of them, myself.

Cindy

chavita · January 22, 2013, 01:34:18 PM

True, I always see the edit button but never click it :P

This reminds me of a quote by Michael from The Office

"Wikipedia is the best thing ever. Anyone in the world can write anything they want about any subject. So you know you are getting the best possible information."

:laugh10:

cinrit · January 22, 2013, 01:46:37 PM

Yeah. :lol: There used to be a team of fact-checkers to make sure the articles were accurate, but I don't know that they still exist. Wikipedia has been asking for donations to keep it going for a couple of years now. The requests pop up every few months, though I haven't seen them lately. I only changed some typos, and I changed an incorrect date on Anne Boleyn's page once. Oh, and a friend asked me to link his name to an album that he worked on a couple of years ago. You don't even have to register to make the changes, but I eventually did.

chavita · January 22, 2013, 01:47:58 PM

Yeah I saw that too.

Yes, but I'm not a very active member.

Cinrit: You're right, everyone can edit Wikipedia pages, I'm like you, I mainly correct mistakes. Although I have created an article and uploaded an image. I have also expanded a couple of pages too!

cinrit · January 22, 2013, 06:47:04 PM

Very cool, HereditaryPrincess. Were they royalty-related articles?

Yes, they were royalty related. The page I created was about Princess Maria Carolina of Bourbon- Two Sicilies (the Duke and Duchess of Castro's eldest daughter). I also edited Lady Louise's article, Princess Helena of the United Kingdom's article and Margarita Armstrong-Jones's article. :computer:
