As for metamodernism, there is always going to be a bias towards online and more recent because that's what is most available. Abrahamson for all the blog posting, does actually have independent secondary sources that identify his ideas, in contrast to Vermeulen and van den Akker and to James and Seshagiri. Secondary sources are preferable because "A and B think it's this" never really goes very far as we can't determine which thoughts are actual mainstream and which are fringe theories that we shouldn't include (or should downplay). For that reason, I removed this sentence because it actually doesn't have a source for now. Of course, realize that this will always remain a work in progress, there is no end point in editing here. I hope you find other topics worth working on as well. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 05:19, 11 July 2014 (UTC)
