The see also section is way too long

The 'see also' section is way too long at present; it reads more like all the topics a survivalist would want to read into, which isn't the purpose of the see also section. If anyone has the know-how to sort the necessary wheat from the really quite substantial chaff, it would be appreciated.—Ineffablebookkeeper (talk) ({{ping}} me!) 17:14, 10 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. Someone was probably trying to build a topic index there. I just deleted an over-long "See also" section from a related article.[1]

Also, the "Terminology" section seems kind of unsourced and arbitrary. James Rawles has a long glossary on his blog (and for this topic he's an expert), but without a criteria there's no way to pick which entries to include. Glossaries don't seem like standard parts of Wikipedia articles. I'll delete them both unless anyone objects. WestRiding24 (talk) 04:31, 19 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Looking at it again, the list looks useful to readers interested in the topic. Instead of deleting it outright, I'll put it into a List of survivalism topics article.

That wouldn't be appropriate for the terminology section, which is probably impossible to make fully compliant with Wikipedia rules. WestRiding24 (talk) 00:34, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

USENET?

How were survivalists able to set up USENET forums in the 1970's when USENET began 1980? -- Cimon Avaro; on a pogostick. (talk) 01:25, 28 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The see also section is *way* too long
