All subregions should be listed explicitly and not assume they are only intermunicipal entities (which accessorily are not statistic subdivisions but real administrative entities, so they should be listed below, probably using a smaller font: we can safely eliminate the subgrouping by type of intermunicipal entity from this box).

History section

I did original research on the history of the viral spread of this ad.

The origin of this ad as a pop culture phenomenon happened from 26-30 October. Lots of sources recognize that Ro Khanna was the first to post this ad in the context of a discussion about net neutrality. The next media to pick it up was Reddit. What is on reddit one day gets to Boing Boing the next, with that blog leading a lot of tech publications. From Boing Boing / Corey it went to Quartz, then in Tim's Twitter he cites the Quartz article. From here everyone started discussing the ad and various journalists began writing articles based on sources several degrees removed from the original conversation.

Normally on Wikipedia community discussion forums like reddit and self-published sources like Twitter posts are not reliable to cite. In this case I think they are reliable in the sense that I cited them. I am not pulling content from these sources, and instead, they are useful to cite in the context of demonstrating the fact of a conversation in the case of reddit and the fact of expert statements on which further publication is based in the cases of Ro and Tim.

Wikipedia is not the place to do research and publish new thought on these things. There is not much research here - I have these 26-30 October publications with timestamps and I have not identified anything earlier - but it is original research for me to claim that later publications all originated from these.

I thought I would post here to clear my head and see if anyone had other thoughts about whether or how this article could include this information. Blue Rasberry (talk) 05:59, 15 December 2017 (UTC)
