Hey folks! I've been working on some of the so-called "pre-revisionist" articles over on the wiki. I recently rewrote the Arabian Nights comic article into a more matter-of-fact summary, and I'm now working on some of the articles that are or were within a few links' distance of that article.
For many articles detailing these older stories, source information is approximately non-existent. That brings me here, hoping for guidance for tracking some of this down. Currently, I'm seeking information on any of the following. For wiki sourcing, forum threads (here or otherwise) are far from ideal, because post editing and moderation make them ephemeral, and the standing of individual posters is generally unknowable. Popular blogs or Youtube channels, or Mothership articles, are preferred.
Where was the Thousandfold Refraction of Rabiah named? The comic mentions the "thousands" of planes of "Rabiah the Infinite" in several places, but I cannot find a mention of the Refraction.
The article for Bassorah mentions a pair of characters not seen in the comic, Bird Maiden Fyrah and Nomad Pakhit. Where is their story told?
Secondary sources discussing the Arabian Nights comic.
Additionally, I'm seeking any sources for the "revision" in general, and specifically that term. I've found this old thread, and even spoken with Pete Venters via email, and come no closer to having an adequate source to justify the widespread use of the term throughout the wiki. If such cannot be found, the usage of the term will likely be greatly reduced as I go through, although I intend to keep at least the single article discussing the topic.

You have to delve a bit, though.
For example, the Fyhra&Pakhit story is this one: http://web.archive.org/web/19990422072443/http://www.wizards.com/Duelist_Online/Encyclopedia_Dominia/Eater_Infinite/Welcome.html
Refraction - just mentioned:

Another archive worth digging is Jeff Lee's Legends of Magic.
