External references

I found one good external reference for this subject. I thought I had another, but the website is on the Wikipedia blacklist. We really need to find more references. If anyone has access to Perth newspaper articles, science fiction magazines, etc., on SwanCon these would be helpful to list as external references.

I've added some print media references, so the "Primary sources tag" is no longer the main issue. Thus I removed that tag. However, I'd like to encourage people to add some more references, so I've added ref improve - it isn't a major concern, but a few more references would help. :) I'll keep looking, as I presume the SF Encyclopedia should have something, and the SF Chronicle has a bit too, and there isn't a lot left to worry about. Notability shouldn't be a concern, as SwanCon generally gets independent coverage and there should be enough there now to pass the GNG, although given how long it has been around a lot of that coverage is likely to have been made prior to regular online archiving of stories.

It would be nice to expand this with a full list of conventions and guests, and highlight which ones were the natcons. But I guess a partial list would be a bit ugly, so it is probably worth holding off until we can be fairly complete. - Bilby (talk) 00:57, 23 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
