While all the detail is great, the reference section has gone bad vs. our standard citation format.

'''Usenet''' was the online birth place of the [[Doom]] community in [[Timeline#1993|1993]], as news about the game's ongoing development created an unprecedented level of hype and enthusiasm in the then-nascent online gaming scene. Several members of [[id Software]], [[John Romero]] and [[Jay Wilbur]] in particular, often personally posted information and responses to the newsgroups. The [[Official Doom FAQ]] started as a collection of such information and related postings on {{wp|Usenet}} by avid user [[Hank Leukart]]. Another significant record of the groups' culture exists in the form of the FAQ's sister document [[Doom Insanity]], a collection of humorous anecdotes which were also collected by Leukart.
