Talk:Southern Media Con
1993 - 1996
Anyone have dates and citations for 1993 - 1996? I can't find anything recorded online. I'm guessing citations need to be pulled from a zine/con report?--Paintedmaypole (talk) 08:30, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
1999
This year is skipped in the page contents. Did the con run in 1999? --Paintedmaypole (talk) 08:49, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
2022
Did 2022 actually run? The archived version of the website shows the originally scheduled dates. I can't find anything verifying that it was rescheduled for November 2022.--Paintedmaypole (talk) 08:30, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
Convention Dates
We should keep these sections along with a note: "The convention was typically held annually, however, information on xxxx year is missing. Additional documentation welcomed."
This draws attention and highlights missing areas where editors will feel encouraged to research or add info and also shows that the omission is not intentional.MeeDee (talk) 21:30, 29 May 2024 (UTC)
Answers to the Years above: I contacted the convention organizer Deb Hicks on the Facebook group. She wrote: "SouthernMedia started out in 1993 as Vidcon. The only place we would have had info online would have been yahoogroups. Our first 2-3 years were in February, then we switched to July. Now we are in June. The only year we didn't happen was 2020..."MeeDee (talk) 05:19, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
- Awesome! I added this language to the dates and I turned your quote from Deb into a citation. --Paintedmaypole (talk) 19:54, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
