Spelling Error

In content 4.1, "World Wide Web and introduction of browsers," there is a spelling mistake in the caption of the 1997 library advertisement—instead of "unfamliar," it should be "unfamiliar." Please fix. Thank you. XKBLUE (talk) 19:25, 14 January 2022 (UTC)Reply

Martana2727 (talk) 20:11, 11 March 2022 (UTC) While working on my article, so far this week I have added 4 wikilcnks to words that I knew I would need more information on and added an image to wikimedia for the first time. Additionally, I am still working on using the information from other articles in regards to the history of the internet to build on the article that I have chosen so far.

Remove Web stuff

This article repeats much of the information already in History of the World Wide Web. Since this article is well over the recommended 50KB (currently 196KB), I think it makes sense to delete most of the Web stuff and point folks over to History of the World Wide Web.

I'd delete History_of_the_Internet#World_Wide_Web_and_introduction_of_browsers, History_of_the_Internet#From_Gopher_to_the_WWW, History_of_the_Internet#Search_engines, and History_of_the_Internet#Dot-com_bubble and clean up other references to the Web.
