 * 1) The name is also the name of a mobile app maker (fandomapp.com).
 * 2) *This will likely throw a wrench into a much needed app for fandom.
 * 3) *The Fandom app makers could mount some kind of copyright/trademark legal action.
 * 4) Topical organization.
 * 5) * What if I only really want to read the video game related fandom articles and have no interest in the TV/film stuff? Right now the content is not so much, so wading through the other stuff isn't too bad, but as fandom grows, this is going to start being a real pain.
 * 6) * Also, as a fan of games, I see a large imbalance in coverage of games vs. TV/film, so it's starting to get harder already to find articles on game stuff.
 * 7) Discussion and feedback on articles.
 * 8) *I can understand avoiding the mess that comments can start, but there needs to be some feedback mechanism for fandom articles. Most are decent, but some aren't (mostly too short and dubiously sourced).
 * 9) Muddying the wiki waters.
 * 10) *To me there can be brand confusion with Wikia as the fan wiki company. The connection between fan pseudo-journalism and fan wikis needs to be strengthened. The competitive landscape for fan commentary content with low news value is fiercely competitive. I wonder how the SEO for fandom is currently doing.
 * 11) *It would help if authors had their wiki user names somehow linked or mentioned. This would make the connection to wikis more clear and allow people to maybe find more content by authors by getting directed to user blogs or something like that.
