The Usenet archive is maintained by Google while the owners of TMC and TMS are less reliable entities.

A link to a 1998 post on TMC (though I believe TMC only goes back to 2001) announcing the official opening of Achaea (or whenever it was) would arguably be a valid reference if it was relevant and signed or pseudo anonymous. It would help if TMC had its own Wikipedia article and better content.

But if you use a good source, even if it's flimsy, and try to create a neutral article instead of something you pulled out of your nose on a whim, it'll show and your article will be left alone - unless it's about eugenics or something.
