As a newly-minted Wikipedia user and editor of a soon-to-be-published article about Immersion, I am happy to let the Wikipedia world know that I have a publishing background including starting a few periodicals in Brooklyn in the 90s. I'm not making any profit over any references to Waterfront Week or Breukelen Magazine, which are two publications I was involved with 30 years ago, both of which are no longer published. At least 20 people have contributed to this article.

Hi @Shipsmasthub, @Sm8900 tipped me off to have a look at the – now public – “Brooklyn Immersionists” article. You’re doing wonderful work. It’s really an exhilarating read!
Compared to the document I read a few years ago, the language and tone are an order of magnitude better, much more appropriate for an encyclopedia.
Over the last years I’ve been intermittently liaising with @Sm8900. He’s been super supportive of the effort. He’s also a Wikipedia insider and an endless source of good advice. He told met that:
“...the article has turned out to be highly stable, meaning that almost no one has tried to make any major changes. So we seem to be on solid ground.”
Kudos!
