article? Just seems odd that all the other magazines would be listed and the one all-digital version that's 5 years old and has two Knowledge (XXG) references to it (see virtual railroading and death notice for Hal Carstens) keeps getting deleted while we're trying to rebuild it correctly. Just trying to figure out how to fill this gap in Knowledge (XXG)'s knowledge base on this topic area without getting the hammer dropped. Can we get some help?

No one has taken up the invitation to create this article, so perhaps I was mistaken about its enthusiasts. I will remove it once again, and once again request that it not be included on this list until someone can verify that merits inclusion (preferably by writing the article).

problem of every hobbyist adding their favorite publication, even if it is the newsletter of their 5-member club (and yes, there were some of those in the list before I cleaned it up). If the magazine is so notable, creating the article should not be a problem.

As noted in the discussion above, the publication should not be added to this list until a standalone article has been written about it. If the publication is notable enough for its own article (as indicated by the availability of independent sources writing
