New source

New York Times did a story on 4chan (and thus, Anonymous). Might be useful for the article. 75.178.83.47 (talk) 21:45, 1 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No, I'm afraid this isn't useful for this article. This is a great source for 4chan, but Anonymous only gets a very brief reference, and only to Project Chanology, which is already well summarized here. We won't be needing this piece, but it's interesting reading. Thanks for the effort.--Cast (talk) 23:02, 1 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Pool's Closed Ref

I just removed a youtube video link from the article. However, if anyone knows the date of broadcast, this could become a reliable reference, WITHOUT the link you youtube. - DigitalC (talk) 23:18, 7 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

dunno... you could check here maybe --Blackfish711 (talk) 14:56, 9 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

How about we link this ksat.com page instead [1]. It has a date and it links to the video. --Enric Naval (talk) 16:10, 9 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

New Article & potential new section

This article, "Swatted", by the Metro Spirit, has some very good coverage on the Internet Hate Machine aspect of Anonymous. With write ups on "Swatting", the in-fighting over Project Chanology, and info on the "subculture" of Anonymous, we can add to previous sections and create a new section on the subculture of Anonymous. I've been meaning to add such a section for a while now, as this is not the first time its come up in articles. The dark humored, culture of satire in pursuit of humor has been mentioned in half a dozen articles or radio interviews, I believe. --Cast (talk) 21:31, 13 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ten out of Ten

For Great Justice!

Quote from the article: 'Anonymous typically justifies their actions by claiming that the raids are "for great justice"'. Heheh...Noboy else notice this meme, or has it been mentioned elsewhere? Ah well, I got a kick out of it.
