Origin[edit]

I cannot find Rick Gate's original message. When "interpedia" occured in usenet there seemed to already exist a mailing list interpedia@telerama.lm.com (see Google Groups: [1]) Rick's posting is definitely not in Google Groups: [2]

This document (Nov 1993) is also interesting.

Although Google Groups's archives stretch back to 1981, they are only comprehensive back to 1995, which is when DejaNews started archiving. [3][4] – Minh Nguyễn (talk, contribs, blog) 02:25, 18 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I tried to find sources for this article in 2005, see this page for a summary (in German). How about inviting Rick Gates to Wikimania 2008|? -- Nichtich 07:03, 2 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The original article was posted to a listserv, PACS-L which evidently made it way to the Usenet sporadically. I've included the source for the original post on PACS-L, as well as a followup calling for the formation of a group to work specifically on the Interpedia. -- Gatesrick 23:59, 4 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
