Needs SJ Games incident

The SJ Games incident, while not strictly an Internet conflict.. it helped create the idea of online civil liberties and was part of the spawn for the EFF. SchmuckyTheCat 00:21, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

Ooh, good one. That could be seen as a landmark for the EFF angle alone. Good one. rootology 00:25, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:PGP Icon.png

Image:PGP Icon.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 05:15, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

Usenet

Does anyone know of any relevant flare-ups on Usenet??? Seeing as it was the original outlet for pseudo-intellectuals go be at loggerheads with each other and also the supposed origins of Flame wars I’m hoping there’s still some good examples out there.

Meow wars? I don't know of any others. --MichaelLinnear 23:32, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

original synthesis

The connection of these events to eachother, outside the area of "history of the Internet," seems to be a product of original synthesis. Shouldn't the majority of the content of this article, which consists mainly of summaries of attacks, be merged either with the article about Internet hacking or the general article on the history of the 'net?

I've been thinking about this on and off since I came back, this was my first article ever, and I think the topic does have merit. The internet has conflicts, this is a timeline of them. The wording may be OR, though. Timeline of Internet problems, maybe, I'm not exactly sure. These things keep happening, and always will, so I think the article has merit, but looking back at it, it's shitty in its present state and needs work. Unfortunately, the idea of building out such a bear of an article doesn't totally appeal to me, myself. I have a lot of the major older stuff up there--no one will have to dig all of those up, and the newer stuff is heavily reported on, and all over with sourcing. Code Red, Nimbda, SQL slammer, famous hacks, e-crimes, you name it. I think the article could stand... but it needs a lot of work, and possibly a new name. rootology (T) 03:25, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:Livejournal-logo.png

The image Image:Livejournal-logo.png is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here. In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Please check

• That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for the use in this article.
• That this article is linked to from the image description page.

This page BADLY NEEDS UPDATE NOW!

Why people didn't post 2006 materials? How about Gamergate? John1234ou812 (talk) 16:56, 1 February 2017 (UTC)
