Talk:The Lurker's Guide to Babylon 5

Lurker's Guide and "definitive reference"

Since an anonymous editor has seen fit to remove items from the page, here are the citations: Regarding JMS's use of the guide: Source here

Regarding the comment as "essential reference as seen by fans", citations here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, and that's just for starters... there's also offline (and thus unlinkable) references in magazines such as Starlog, Starburst, Empire, Cinefantastique, the official Babylon 5 magazine, and others. There's also references in the books The Babylon File: The Definitive Unauthorised Guide to J. Michael Straczynski's TV Series Babylon 5 and The A to Z Guide of Babylon 5.

This anonymous editor may not be well-versed in Babylon 5 history, but I am, having been involved with the show online since *before* it aired. These statements are not just POV commentary, they are fact. TheRealFennShysa 02:58, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

• If you went to all the work of finding these references, why not add them to the article and, you know, cite things? 65.113.125.77 03:07, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

Expansion

There's more to say about it this web site, in the sources cited as further reading, than is said by this article. For example: Our article doesn't mention, as several of the sources do, the fact that the Lurker's Guide was preferred by fans over the official web site. One source even does a side-by-side comparison. Uncle G (talk) 19:16, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

German version?

Why no mention of the Lurker's Guide in other languages? There used to be a German clone of the Guide.
