This could be a big move for the whole Shawn Blog/Plate Show idea… or it could be another big frustrating headache. Stay tuned!

I am at peace with this! (via shawnblog)

I was a little apprehensive about dropping the name “Plate Show” because of my original idea of tying in random topics with random sightings of vanity plates. I guess two randoms are way too random though. Most people would get all hung up on talking specifically about vanity plates and the show never really took off.

::UN:: gave me some feedback advice that crystallized my thinking, so the show will no long focus on vanity plates. There will be new and recurring topics and vanity plates will, of course, be one of these.

Thanks everyone for your continued support! Now I just need to decide… Shawn Honnick Show or Shawn Blog Show… or just Shawn Blog (sans Show).

What do you think?

"Should I re-brand Plate Show and just make vanity plates one of several topics or keep it as “Plate Show” and stick to vanity plates only?"

Does anyone know about editing Wikipedia?

I recently added a link to the “vanity plates” page on Wikipedia titled, “Plate Show is a web show about life, vanity plates and the meanings behind them” (this is the show’s tagline). I was getting pretty steady traffic from it for a few weeks and, after noticing that was not happening anymore, I went to check the page and found that my link is no longer there.

I’m wondering if this is just the expected moron factor, where someone decided my link somehow interfered with theirs and decided to remove the “competition” or if I possibly broke a Wikipedia rule that I would not have known about (since I never read anything) by posting a link to my own web site or something else I overlooked? If I add my link back, am I in danger of starting the wiki equivalent of a flame war—or maybe even breaking some other wiki rule?

I’ve already noticed that my personal collection of vanity plate images is growing beyond “Largest Gallery of Vanity Plates on The Web” listed and so titled on Wikipedia. I don’t want to go removing links… I can make mine “The Largest Individually Collected…” or something—even though mine actually will also be the largest gallery with just one more image!

So, should I just add my link again? Have I broken the law of the wiki?

What’s the deal? Please reblog or email plateshow@gmail.com with any and all Wikipedia expertise.

Thanks!

Pax Fire

I was so tickled when Shawn Honnick of Plate Show, a web-based radio program about Vanity Plates, sent this photo snapped, I think, from his phone as he was driving. Virginia plates read:

PAXFIRE!

On fire for peace. Yes. Oh, yes.

Spiritually, the symbolism of fire is transformation, a special kind of transformation—spiritual transformation. Changing the status of peace on this earth requires the fire of transformation. And somebody else is proclaiming their part in the peace work on Earth with their license plate.

This is a call for license plates from around the world! If you see a license plate bearing witness to peace in any aspect, will you send it to me please at SeedsDrCorso@comcast.net? We want to see if we can get them from all 50 states of the U.S.A. and all the countries of the world. So far, we’ve covered Virginia and Massachusetts.

Shawn and I are both putting the call out for evidence of persons committed to peace. I promise to publish them here and Shawn will publish them on Plate Show.

Truthfully, it’s not just a plate show, beloved, it’s a commitment to peace. One never knows whom one might drive by. Never. Byte-sized peace inspiration might be all it takes to create a planet fired by peace.
