Use of "tweet"
edit"Tweet" should be replaced with "message". This is Wikipedia and not some Twitter fan page. Best regards, IP 92.231.219.195 (talk) 19:51, 5 June 2017 (UTC)
It's in the dictionary, so I don't see a problem with it. EvergreenFir (talk) 00:19, 8 June 2017 (UTC)
In the first archive, there is a discussion about the use of the word tweet. I agree with IP 92.231.219.195 that this is a proprietary use of the word and should not be used in an encyclopedia. Now according to the Twitter page, "posts [were] formerly "tweets". Should this decision be reconsidered ? JeremiahJohnson (talk) JeremiahJohnson (talk) 22:00, 31 July 2024 (UTC)
- Simply put, no. Reliable sources at the time used the appropriate term "Tweet," so we reflect that. Perhaps a note could be added (with RS) to indicate this is the older, deprecated term... but honestly, people still call them tweets, regardless of what Elon Musk says.
- Also, you may want to use some form of quote feature to make it clear you're quoting an older post, and that's not your own words. This was very confusing at first. — The Hand That Feeds You:Bite 22:05, 31 July 2024 (UTC)
