Talk:Knuth reward check

message: As I wrote above, this list of checks compiled from scans and other reliable information may already be considered not to be encyclopedic; on the other hand, the list of unverified information in the form "Xxx claims to have checks" has clearly nothing to do here (people bragging is unlikely to be a reliable source, to say the least).

replies: text: Rembrandt's paintings, in contrast to checks, are relevant works that are catalogued openly in official, published lists. If you want to document the bugs of TeX etc. in an encyclopedic manner, you can use the official, published errata files as a source and write an article about them based on that. Information about actual checks are a private matter that doesn't belong into an encyclopedia. Wikipedia doesn't research lists that have not yet been published anywhere else. As long as DEK decides not to publish a list of checks himself, it doesn't belong here, and even if he would, it would be appropriate only for Wikisource, a sister project of Wikipedia. Please read Wikipedia's No Original Research and What Wikipedia is not policies for more information. These policies are the reason for the deletion. --rtc 00:44, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

message: The San Seriffe cheque contains a URL ending "stanford.edu.ca".  This isn't a real domain.  What's up with that? The Wednesday Island (talk) 18:41, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Interesting.  I just received check number 1278, and it does not have the '.ca' in the URL.  I don't know why it is in the pictured check, but it's not in recent checks.  FWIW, the check I just earned was for a bug in MMIXware.  The memo field read "MM 83."  I added this to the list of memo field character codes on the page. --Mr z (talk) 04:39, 31 October 2015 (UTC)

message: Quick, go over to Knuth's site and tell him that he left out the word "know" in line 2, page iv of his draft of fascicle 5a, version 1/12/13. Good luck! --84.177.46.222 (talk) 22:15, 13 January 2013 (UTC)
