Talk:Digital permanence

Introduction Section

The introduction section is too long. Its actual text could be moved into the article body and be replaced by a synthetic description.

Self reference?

"However, not all this information is worth saving for any length of time; sometimes its value can be very short-lived. Other data, such as the contents of the Wikipedia we might like to keep around ... well, forever. This article describes how reliable different types of storage media are at storing data over time and factors affecting this reliability."

I'm pretty bad at Wiki'ing, but this bit seems to violate WP:SELF. It also seems a bit candid. Harmonex (talk) 00:30, 22 January 2015 (UTC)
