Could somebody add New York to the headquarters location from "|location = New York City, United States" to "|location = New York City, New York, U.S."?

I added a bit about The Five Pillars of Tumblr with a video by Dan Howell as the reference.
It was removed as vandalism.
It's clearly not vandalism.
Policy states that YouTube videos can be used if they are verified, which Dan is.

This is an inflammatory, unsourced statement that needs to be removed from the article:
"In recent years, Tumblr has been criticized for its liberalism content and high social justice warrior population." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:603:1300:6830:0:0:0:2 (talk) 06:28, 10 October 2017 (UTC)
"Social justice warrior" is a term used by the alt-right and other right-wing extremists for anyone who disagrees with their political views. It is needlessly inflammatory to include in an article that pretends to be unbiased.
So ANYBODY who uses the term "social justice warrior" is a member of the alt-right and presumably a nazi? That is incredibly false, using a term doesn't make you a member of idealogy or group. I know many liberals who use that term to identify members of ANTIFA and such.Explorer22987 (talk) 16:53, 16 January 2018 (UTC) Explorer22987
Want to look at an artist's Tumblr today, but got message "This Tumblr may contain sensitive media. Safe mode is on". Was viewing Tumblr as a guest (ie. without username & password) and seems like guests can no longer view NSFW tumblrs. Wikipedia's Tumblr article says "pages classified as "NSFW" (not safe for work) will not feature in tag pages for users who are not logged in or who have the "Safe Mode" activated." Perhaps that text needs to be updated as it looks like people have to login (with username & password) to look at any NSFW tumblr. --EarthFurst (talk) 11:11, 28 November 2017 (UTC)
Should type of NSFW be included? Not to sound vulgar but you got your standard porn and then the furry and MLP porn which is typically art. Just a thought.Explorer22987 (talk) 16:57, 16 January 2018 (UTC)
In all the social media websites, or the websites in which there is login, we must added proper description that how a user can login. like in some social media there is only login by phone number or in some email is only login or in some any of both are valid. There must be Login Type added in Infobox Software. Examples
Login Type - Only by Phone Number Login Type - Only by Email address(or Username) Login Type - Phone Number or Email address(or Username)(Any) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Niharpatel123456 (talk • contribs) 19:10, 4 January 2018 (UTC)
Is it possible to find some statistics about Tumblr's traffic and blogs that are more recent? The most recent statistic about Tumblr's traffic comes from 2016 and the most recent one about its number of blogs is from 2017. Thank you.--Wii Music (talk) 01:41, 13 February 2018 (UTC)

The Steven Universe incident really has nothing to do with politics, so we should create a new section under the criticism section titled "Steven Universe fandom incident" 207.172.180.75 (talk) 17:59, 18 June 2018 (UTC)
@PackMecEng: I disagree with your assertion. The wider censoring and removal of NSFW content from Tumblr following the child sexual abuse images controversy is censorship. ViperSnake151 Talk 22:29, 21 November 2018 (UTC)
The consensus is that the opening statement of the RfC is malformed and the RfC is closed with no outcome.

Unfortunately, Wikipedia and Tumblr is unreliable source? Banana19208 (talk) 06:53, 19 December 2018 (UTC)
Hi Banana19208, I've removed the RfC tag because the opening statement is malformed. As explained at Wikipedia:Wikipedia is not a reliable source, Wikipedia doesn't meet the reliable source guideline because it is an open wiki, which contains user-generated content. Tumblr is also generally unreliable, since it is a self-published source. If you would like to discuss the reliability of sources in the context of how they're used in Wikipedia articles, you'll want to start a new discussion at the reliable sources noticeboard. Thanks! — Newslinger talk 00:55, 18 January 2019 (UTC)
TechDirt reported on the ArchiveTeam project to archive the now-deleted portions of Tumblr and how Tumblr responded: As A Final Fuck You To Free Speech On Tumblr, Verizon Blocked Archivists. Motherboard, Daily Dot, Boing Boing and Fast company also wrote about it. Nemo 07:30, 21 December 2018 (UTC)
The lede is lousy, the features to follow other blogs or to keep blogs private are not notable. The infobox states that Yahoo was the parent company until 2017, IOW, it should not get an external link:

Change "Key People" from "Jeff D'Onofrio (CEO)" to "Matt Mullenweg (CEO)".
Jeff D'Onofrio moved on to be CafeMedia's CFO. The about page for Tumblr lists Matt Mullenweg as the new CEO. Nerdmonkey (talk) 18:21, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
Tumblr added polls on 18/01/23 (source: official Tumblr staff blog https://staff.tumblr.com/post/706805192704802816/ok-folks-everybody-stay-calm-its-happening and https://www.adweek.com/media/tumblr-begins-rolling-out-polls/)

Not two, as pictured in the infobox. The infobox info has one founder, so that part is correct. Boscaswell talk 22:26, 24 July 2023 (UTC)
This article is not complete without a mention of the terminations under Criticisms. Tumblr is well-known and possibly unique in its apparently random account termination policy. Users regularly complain about losing their content posted over many years. Accounts may be terminated with no warning and with no reasons given. There is no appeal procedure. Users have complained that tumbler's defacto rules are 'whatever tumbler thinks they are' and there is a lack of clarity over why accounts are terminated.

Tumblr had been subject to a lawsuit from the NYC Commission on Human Rights due to discriminatory moderation practices. Additionally, current Automatic CEO Matt Mullenweg is in the midst of a controversy surrounding continuing said practices in a very personal, unprofessional manner. Should probably add something to controversy list? 73.89.156.4 (talk) 18:04, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
