Rudolf2007's review[edit]

Overall this is an impressive and enjoyable start. It has potential to become a feature article.

Research and references are great. But you should footnote as many facts as possible. Here's the drill:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citing_sources#How_to_write_them

I or some other editor will have to check to make sure that sources are paraphrased rather than quoted.

Writing in general is vivid, polished and appropriate for encyclopedia neutral point of view.

Headings--Neither Family nor Flea Market Content tell us what the section is about.

Setbacks should appear in chronological order.

there is the noise of constant music playing--how about "sound" instead of noise.

I'll need to give this a closer reading when you've made these changes.

The San Jose Flea Market is in the heart of the Silicon Valley like Coney Island is in the heart of the Hudson Valley. Rt3368 (talk) 20:18, 12 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

California Computer Swap Meet[edit]

In the late 1970s to mid 1980s there was another influential semi-annual flea market called the "California Computer Swap Meet",^[1] which became part of the "hacker folklore" and early microcomputer memories. It was also mentioned in a number of newspapers, f.e. InfoWorld had various articles about it. The California Computer Swap Meet was organized by John Craig and apparently was not related to this San Jose Flea Market, although, AFAIK, it was located not far away. I'm leaving this note just to encourage someone, who has more knowledge about the California Computer Swap Meet, to write an article about it. --Matthiaspaul (talk) 17:02, 20 January 2020 (UTC) ^[1][reply]

BART[edit]

I added in the sources for BART and its accessibility. I also went to the flea market on Saturday and have a pic of it showing BART and the flea market at the same time. How do I get it on here? 2601:642:4400:9F00:D476:A4A7:2AE1:545E (talk) 22:26, 25 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
