Talk:Paper Mayhem

Use of PlayByMail.Net source
Normally I'd hesitate to use a source like the PlayByMail.net source used in the article. However, Grimfinger, the author of the editorial, is the editor-in-chief of the online Play By Mail journal Suspense and Decision. In this case, I thought it would be OK to use as a WP:RS here. --Airborne84 (talk) 19:00, 15 February 2020 (UTC)

Additional secondary sources
I added additional secondary sources after the addition of the tag. I think the statement by Dragon Magazine editor in chief Roger E. Moore that Paper Mayhem was the "'best established and ... most informative' of the various play-by-mail magazines available at the time, providing 'game reviews, playtesting notes, announcements, new releases, playing hints, and more' in every issue" goes a long way toward establishing this as the most notable of the play-by-mail periodicals of the period.--Airborne84 (talk) 03:27, 16 February 2020 (UTC)
