Bethblog citation and possible recovery
So, this is a two-part question: A. Would the old Bethblog articles count as an out-of-game source text regarding both lore, game mechanics, and so on? And B. Due to many of those old citations or articles being out of date or simply non-existent for one reason or another, where would one go to find said Bethblog articles?

 * A. Yes. Yes it would.
 * B. I don't know exactly what the references that are being citated externally are. However I was working on trying to archive others a while back. Unfortunately there are just some lost to time, as I cannot find an original source for them. What I have gathered so far is linked to my workbench  under the tab "External links that NEED to be Archived". If you see any more of these articles it would be fantastic if you could archive them.--Ant2242 (talk) 04:22, 27 March 2019 (UTC)


 * You can always try the wayback machine for old and dead links, but that's always hit or miss. Thought it does look like the Bethblog has a lot of screencaps from 2007 onwards, it just takes some digging. Devsatatin' Dave(ZIP ZAP RAP) 05:07, 27 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I tried digging through that half of yesterday, but I couldn't manage to pull a single article out of it all, as for cited external links, a few of them are developer interviews, others things like "Guy behind the Guide" for F3's Official Game Guide, "The real world meets Power Armor and nuclear cars", and other responses you see pulled up when you type "Bethblog" into the search bar.

 * Did you find any that I missed? Like a said before, I made a personal project out of it. Unfortunately I haven't been able to keep up with anything in the past few years. If you happen upon any unarchived external references could you please archive it?--Ant2242 (talk) 05:36, 28 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Which page was " " on? I wish to add it to the project tab. Thank you!!!! by the way, I completely Missed that one.--Ant2242 (talk) 05:55, 28 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Oh, it was on the David S.J. Hodgson page. Ss2077 (talk) 06:05, 28 March 2019 (UTC)

The unwieldy name could be simply "Non-game source texts I think". Tagaziel (talk) 18:27, 27 March 2019 (UTC)
