As with your book and other website, having everything quoted, footnoted, and documented adds credibility to those that want to follow the paper trail.  For instance this Hamill/Sansweet thing, what's the evidence for this?  The John Knoll quote from the Blockbuster book.

Also a glossary of terms like Lowry, and the various preservation people/projects will help get people up to speed.

Modify the <pre><title>"Template #45 - Aquarium Template"</title></pre> on each page.

In the preservation reviews you get specific on image quality aspects.  If they can be captured in a pic with arrows pointing to the various imperfections, that will help those who are unfamiliar with the terms but might sense it visually.

The second article talks about the fanboys "who don't care", this seems like a pot shot.  Yes they exist, but maybe replace them with something like the 'general populace, who will consume the latest and greatest, just because it's 'new' could suffice.  Use the weight of the financial force of the general populace against the argument that proper preservation needs to start from the source.

Is an article about the expanded preservation type projects, the variations of SW, something you have in mind?  Projects like the preservation of the Audio Description Audio (since it's not an option on any of the Home video version) is an angle which can fortify the cause.  All the old making of specials that babyhum and others have preserved could be mentioned there.
