I've re-written with books as a source, though honestly they are janky-seeming books that might be nearly self-published. But, they are by commentators (Ben Shapiro, James Goll and Lou Engle) recognized enough to have their own Knowledge (XXG) articles. I'm opening this thread to discuss if this is adequate sourcing. 249: 912:
The Cacophony Society still meets, at least several people still do, in San Francisco on the first Saturday of each month (It is currently Sept. 2022). More than this, Ms. Segal has gone on to a new vision, post several thousand dollars per ticket, in the quest for creative essence; she has created

A chief architect of the Burning Man vision was the great doyenne, Roberta "P" Segal, who in true, gender-driven diminution and historical refab, first envisioned and authored the tenets of Burning Man. Another person who stylized and created the original silk screened swag for the parties of 40 at

What was notable about 2023 is that it rained heavily both during the build week and the event week for an extended period, and the volume of rains led the roads to remain sufficiently impassible for vehicular traffic for multiple days including the scheduled burning of the effigy and the intended

It is well known within the community of early participants, that the ideas for Burning Man were discussed and evolved at 1907 Golden Gate Avenue in San Francisco, where visionary P Segal was involved along with a small handful of others, some who continued with it, and some who did not as Burning

One of my concerns here is that several founders of Burning Man find no fame or glory here. For those of us closer to the founders, we know the whole idea was formed and took shape at meetings at 1907 Golden Gate Avenue in San Francisco. The huge rambling 2-story flat in San Francisco was home and

I'll recommend Lee Gilmore's "Theater in a Crowded Fire: Ritual and Spirituality at Burning Man" by Lee Gilmore on University of California Press (ISBN 978-0-520-26088-7) as a researched source. "Paganism and Neopaganism" is an index entry. In general it frames the event as ritualized more of an

There are thousands of people whose creative contributions have assisted in the development and growth of the event as a whole, but whose specific contributions have not extended to independently-published sources and/or notability that meets Knowledge (XXG) standards. The same is true of many

seems to identify their own contributions as being a small part of the cacaphony society's contributions, which are acknowledged in the article. Photos from early years of the event would be valuable to the event and to the Nevada Historical Museum, even if they can not achieve the rights
1131:, thanks, those sources are a bit better than the blog an at least the authors have articles. It would be nice to find better sources, but I'm fine with letting the section stand as you have written it. Other editors will likely have opinions and will hopefully improve that section. 1032:
According to social media, it's not a hoax. The Feds have quarantined the camp due to the outbreak of the highly contagious, flesh-eating disease. They're not letting anyone in and out. Complete media blackout like they've tried to do in Maui.

Man took on a life of it's own. There are some remarkable photos out there, but I am not sure if they are available for use from those years. Another early member was Chris de Monterey, who silk screened the first tickets to Baker Beach events.
