Meatball[edit]

I do not find that MeatballWiki strongly discourages anon editing. The community accepts it somewhat; I might entertain a claim that SunirShah "strongly" discourages, but not Meatball as a whole. — Xiong 熊 talk * 00:58, 2005 August 13 (UTC)

Unless this meets our verifiability standards in a couple days I am nominating this for deletion. ^High_InBC^{(Need help? Ask me)} 03:48, 19 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

What again? ~ Anonymous Coward 12:59, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

The concern on the last nomination for deletion was notability, I am concerned about verifiability from reliable sources. ^High_InBC^{(Need help? Ask me)} 13:12, 19 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I re-submitted it to AFD just so we can get Wiki to review it. 76.1.180.28 (talk) 02:49, 5 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I believe I saw "Anonymous Coward" in a Heinlein book long before BBS/Usenet would have "roots". Though perhaps he got it from a BBS/Usenet, for all I know... I strongly suspect it has roots in popular literature pre-dating BBS/Usenet, however, even if my first encounter is a poor example. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.128.187.35 (talk) 16:54, 26 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
