Anglo-fandom versus Anglofandom: my sense is that 'Anglofandom' is the far more common usage and in FWD JMR used 'Anglofandom'. See e.g. page 11 of FWD37 --Mark Plummer (talk) 01:28, 26 July 2024 (PDT)
- That is exactly my sense too; I suppose this "Anglo-Fandom" is a historic artifact caused by bibliographers looking only at the title all-caps and interpreting it without context, quite like Science-Fantasy Review lost its hyphen in the opposite direction. So I will move the page to the form which is apparently more proper and canonical some time soon, unless there are explicit objections. --JVjr (talk) 07:16, 26 July 2024 (PDT)
