Talk:Tony Fadell

message: , I see you added a line in the infobox about Mr. Fadell's religion.  I'm curious, simply for form's sake, about the source of this information.  Info about living people should be very well sourced. I do see he's been categorized as Greek Orthodox Christian Descent (unclear about sourcing for that, too, but that's a different matter), but I don't think that equates to his actual religious beliefs.  I took a quick look through the sources in the article and if it's there, I missed it (wouldn't be the first time!).  Would appreciate your clarification. Thanks for your time!

thread_title:  Religion 

message: Nowhere in the article does it say that Fadell is the inventor of the iPhone. Even "creator" is not well sourced. Per WP:LEAD the lead summarizes the article, and right now the article does not say "inventor". If you want to change "creator" to "inventor" you need to first add that to the Apple Inc section, with a proper source, then summarize what it says there in the lead.

thread_title:  Inventor of the iphone? 

message: Maybe it wasn't clear from my edit summary, but "Lebanese-American" doesn't belong in the lead per MOS:ETHNICITY: "Ethnicity, religion, or sexuality should generally not be in the lead unless relevant to the subject's notability. Similarly, neither previous nationalities nor the country of birth should be mentioned in the lead unless relevant to the subject's notability." In this case Fadell isn't even Lebanese-American by either nationality or country of birth, only by ancestry. I would be opposed to adding this anywhere in the article since it's not relevant to his notability, but if it goes anywhere, it should be in "Education and early life". Note too that putting it in the lead and not elsewhere is a violation of WP:LEAD. GA-RT-22 (talk) 23:01, 31 January 2024 (UTC)

Talk:Jean-Louis Gassée

message: This article was in need of some hefty cleanup, just for writing standards as well as what came across to me as an unfamiliarity on the part of the original author with BeOS. The part about Gassee's career at Apple really should be expanded, but I don't have my copy of the BeOS Bible anymore, alas. 128.107.236.189 00:24, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Cleanup

message: I came to this article as a reader, not as someone knowledgeable enough to contribute to an article about Gasee. The section titled A witness of his times seems out of place to me. It is somewhat interesting, but seems tacked on, non-encyclopedic (more like a magazine article), and puts a LOT of emphasis on the Amiga, which is only tangentially related to the subject of the article. I question the inclusion of this section. At the very least, it should be edited by someone who is better at writing English. emw 18:13, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Dorsum (anatomy)

message: Is this page even worth having? I looked around and I couldn't find much, if any, information on the dorsum of a Lepidopteran. Couldn't this article just be merged with the Lepidopteran article? -richjkl 01:55, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I hear you! I have toyed with the idea of writing a "Lepidopteran wing anatomy" page to which various terms like dorsum, costa, termen, tornus, frenulum, fascia, stigma, discal spot, etc could redirect but it would definitely need a diagram.

Talk:Jordan Hubbard

message: There's a comment under a recent Computerphile video about the rwall incident claiming to be Jordan Hubbard saying that he "did not, however, get a personal message from Dennis Perry (the inspector general of the ARPANET)". Of course, there's no way to prove that it's him.
The article currently reads: "Even though the command was terminated, it resulted in Hubbard receiving 743 messages and complaints, including one from the Inspector General of ARPAnet." If that YouTube comment is to be believed, this is wrong. The source that this claim is attributed to doesn't actually say this either. It says: "One of the people who received my message was Dennis Perry, the Inspector General of the ARPAnet (in the Pentagon), and he wasn't exactly pleased." Meaning, the Inspector General of ARPAnet received the message from Hubbard, but he did not send Hubbard a personal message.
Can we trust this comment? Should this be changed?

thread_title:  GA criteria? 

message: Added some detail since the last review. Also, per WP:GACN point 3; I disagree with the previous fail; I checked again, and don't think there's any material from WP:RS that is missing from the article (which, by my perspective, would mean the "broad coverage" criterion is met). My research was quite thorough. If any material is found in WP:RS and missing in this article, I'll be glad to insert it.
Same with images; I looked deeply (before the 1st nomination) and found none to be freely-licensed. His only public appearance that I found was this iTunes U demo during an Apple keynote, but Apple has copyright to that. I will take a screenshot, and contact Apple's copyright team through their public form, to ask whether they'd graciously release the copyright for the screenshot, and I'll report back when I hear from them; but I don't  think that's a prerequisite for a GA review.

Talk:Randy Wigginton

message: I have been investigating edits by Donreed; it appears that the story of the 1981 shareholder meeting, which I first noticed in another article, is completely from him, and has no references or sources. Searching on Google, I was unable (in a quick first pass) to find any online references to this, which is pretty odd for such an interesting story, concerning Apple and Steve Jobs. I think it should be left out until some references are located. Brianyoumans 03:38, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Removal of 1981 Shareholder Meeting story

message: I have rewritten this material to be more accurate. Wigginton didn't write Applesoft BASIC himself; the main codebase was licensed from Microsoft. Accourding to Weyhrich, he was one of the Apple employees who adapted Microsoft's BASIC to the Apple II. I have left in the claim that he wrote the floating-point routines. The problematic ROUND() function (which I was entirely unaware of!) isn't in the ROM version of Applesoft at all; I assume it was in the first ("Applesoft I") release and have added wording to clarify this.

Talk:Uwe Krupp

message: A registered user and an anon user are reverting each other regarding what positon Kruup was drafted in 1983. according to our article and this site and this one he was drafted 214th. Are these sources wrong ? I'm going to put it back to 214 and suggest that this talk page could be used to sort this out. No Guru 19:26, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Well this is definitely a strange occurence, as the 1993 NHL Official Guide & Record Book says that he was indeed drafted 214th. However later editions say 223rd, and I checked in the book Total Hockey, and it says Krupp was drafted 223rd as well, and that Jeff Frank of the Regina Pats was drafted 223rd... As well in this year's edition it says that Dominik Hasek was drafted 207th (as well as Total Hockey), while in the 1983 NHL Entry Draft article it says that he was drafted 199th... What the heck is going on here? Which one is right?  Croat Canuck   19:54, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Weird. You would think that there wouldn't be so much confusion over the draft position of a player (I assumed it would be well documented). For some reason I couldn't locate historical draft info on Nhl.com. The official Sabres site does have him listed at 214, however . No Guru 20:08, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  Wait! I figured it out, upon further research I found out that was the same year that the St. Louis Blues draft picks were voided so the picks St. Louis had, #48, #69, #90, #111, #132, #153, #174, #195, #216 and #237 were all voided. That explains the discrepancy, and if you take out the picks, that is the only thing that makes up the difference. So Uwe Krupp was the 214th player picked, but he was the 223rd pick overall, since St. Louis had to choose to pick nobody with the draft picks they possessed. So 214th overall should be fine, its just something to keep an eye on for other articles.  Croat Canuck   02:53, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

*Lou Pickney is working with Bubba the Love Sponge. I'd include him because he's still in the industry.
*Len Clark is still working the play by play circuit.  I'd definitely include him because if he could get the NSSA Broadcaster of the Year for Indiana and can hold his own in groups with people like Marv Albert, yeah, enough said. And he was GM for something like ten years.
*I would definitely not include someone like myself because I don't work in the IT field or the radio field.  Now, if I broke back into IT in some really good position with a good firm or got back on the radio, then I'd be inclined to do so.  But that would be a bit of vanity.
