Talk:History of Microsoft

message: This is a request from Japanese Wikipedia contributors. There is no reliable evidence to show that April 4, 1975 is the date Microsoft was founded, according to a Japanese book published by Keio University. It would be much appreciated if any English contributors could verify the exact date with reliable sources. Here is the summarized translation of the Japanese source.
April 1975 is the month Paul Allen was employed by Micro Instrumentation and Telemetry Systems. However, there is no evidence to show that Microsoft was founded at the same time. Gates and Allen officially signed a written business partnership on February 3, 1977. Before this formal agreement, the two worked on the business and product development on an oral agreement basis so that no reliable source supports the date. Moreover, the name of Micro-Soft was invented in the summer of 1975. So, "Micro-Soft" cannot be founded prior to the summer. Today, Both Gates and Allen have talked to many reliable sources that Microsoft was founded on April 4, 1975. However, their interview comments saying April 4 cannot be found before 2005. Therefore, the author of the book published by Keio University casts a significant doubt that Gates and Allen invented a 30-year anniversary.
Then, one of Japanese Wikipedia contributors further researched to find other sources. Author = Janice Jorgensen, Publisher = St. James Press, Date =1994, Title = Encyclopedia of Consumer Brands: Durable goods, Page = 342, Quote = "on April 4, 1975, Gates and Allen officially established Microsoft as a business partnership." This document, however, does not include any interview comment, and does not show any reason or source for the date April 4. So far, there seems no reliable information on what happened and was agreed on April 4.
Could anyone show any reliable source on the date when Microsoft was founded that is published before 1980? Thank you.

Talk:Siegel

message: Siegel as a Jewish name is derived from the Hebrew 'Segan Levi' meaning a Levite of the second rank.
Possibly the above, but also there is a historical context in that surnames were often associated by type of employment and the trades the Jewish community could enter into were regulated by the government. I added a few sources on the origins of the suffixes and added my citations to the edit signature. I have no idea how to add the references in-line while on mobile.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2603:7000:4600:358A:ED1C:F660:AB2:47CE (talk) 15:10, 19 May 2023 (UTC)

thread_title:  Famous Siegels list? 

message: Can the author document this claim?  My surname is Siegel, and I am descended from Russian Jews.  My extended family all has Germanic surnames (Rosenthal = rose valley; Mehlman = mill man; and so on); they all spoke Yiddish, which is mutually intelligible with German; and there is no known connection to Sagan/Chagall/the Levis.  Occam's Razor suggests that, at least in my family's case, the name is German for seal, and that there was a strong Germanic language presence in the part of Russia from which they emigrated.
The Segan Levi explanation seems to be taken from segal.org, which hedges its bets a good deal more than the current page's author does.

replies: text: Looks like this particular tag has gone now, but I have noticed a number of people who tag articles as problematic without actually bothering to state the problem on the talk page. While I have to assume they are acting in good faith, they are not making it easy for people to verify their claim that an article is faulty. (Very often the person who identifies a problem could probably fix it in less time it takes another editor to guess what an unexplained tag means.) I would say that if a tag looks wrong and there is no explanation for it, that you should just go ahead and remove it.

message: The Bibliotheca Universalis website now redirects to The European Library website.  As far as I can tell the project has now become The European Library, since the end of the TEL project in 2004 see here (quoted below).
"The European Library originates from the TEL project, which was finished successfully on January 31, 2004. The key aim of TEL project was to investigate the feasibility of establishing a new Pan-European service (named The European Library) which would ultimately give access to the combined resources of the national libraries of Europe. The project was partly funded by the European Commission and it ran for 3 years. During the project it became clear that Gabriel, the current website of the European national libraries, Gabriel (GAteway and BRIdge to Europe's National Libraries) would be integrated into the new European Library website. The Gabriel website was integrated into The European Library in the summer of 2005."
