Overall: Fun article that meets all of the necessary criteria; AGF on the book sources, as I can't quite seem to get ebook access. I prefer ALT1 and ALT0 slightly behind it; ALT0 might be navel-gazing, but works fine, while ALT2 is a bit too wordy and includes too many links that bury the actual article.

Thanks. I agree that ALT1 is probably the best; it's pithy and actually about the article topic writ large, instead of just an example. voorts (talk/contributions) 19:11, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It didn't come up in my research. The article is mostly sourced to scholarly literature, and only a few wikis have been written about. I'll look into it, though. voorts (talk/contributions) 03:42, 2 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
There's some aca sources at the end of the Fanlore article on itself [1] -- of which [2] is open access, English, indept and has coverage; it states that Fanlore is archived at the Digital Culture Web Archive of the American Folklife Center and talks a bit about the GeoCities Rescue Project. (Full disclosure: I used to be an admin on Fanlore some years back.) Espresso Addict (talk) 04:45, 2 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
