I've noticed that various links to old newspaper articles are no longer online. I've added some other sources, including links to articles still in the "Wayback Machine" archive. • Sbmeirow • Talk • 03:21, 20 December 2012 (UTC)
Does anyone know the basketball player used to portray Nicole? Apparently the basketball player nows plays college ball. - RomeW 08:51, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
not compu-stub, there is no hoax-stub, fictional so not person-stub, not exactly history-stub...what kind of stub? RJFJR 23:04, Jan 29, 2005 (UTC)
Metafilter's participation in the outing should be noted here somewhere - but not by me, as it's before my time. -- John Kenneth Fisher 00:28, August 3, 2005 (UTC)
I recall a very informative letter written by BigWhiteGuy or someone (the hoster of Kaycee's blog who was deceived) which contradicted some of the theories (or at least one) on this article, but I'm too lazy to find it.

Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just added archive links to one external link on
Kaycee Nicole. Please take a moment to review
my edit. You may add {{
cbignore}}
after the link to keep me from modifying it, if I keep adding bad data, but formatting bugs should be reported instead. Alternatively, you can add {{
nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}}
to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:

If it is notable, then why is there no explanation why in the article? There have been thousands of fake online people and deaths, before and after this, so why have a page on one in particular? I think someone needs to either establish some sort of notability or the page should go, regardless of having been GA'd. SilverbackNet talk 05:53, 12 February 2018 (UTC)
Article about an alias attributed to to a living person with sourcing to claim a she invented a fake persona. Claims of a diagnosis of Munchausen by internet which doesn't exist - there is no "by internet" version. One source states "In another case, a sort of Munchausen syndrome by proxy by Internet, a woman used the fictional persona of a young student (“Kaycee”)". Medical stuff fails to meet WP:MEDRS.

That said, my take on your concerns is:
