message: There's no source given for the rumor that Bäckman is the inspiration for the Muppets' Swedish Chef.

Talk:Arthur Samuel (computer scientist)

message: Hello Editors
Is it true to say that Samuel wrote the "first self-learning program"? My understanding is that that's not the case: Christopher Strachey appears to have written a similar program for the same game, but referred to by its British name Draughts, some eight years earlier. He is therefore also credited by some sources as having written the first AI program. In fact his own Wikipedia page says: "The draughts program ran for the first time on 30 July 1951 at NPL. When Strachey heard about the Manchester Mark 1, which had a much bigger memory, he asked his former fellow-student Alan Turing for the manual and transcribed his program into the operation codes of that machine by around October 1951. The program could 'play a complete game of Draughts at a reasonable speed'." 
Encylopaedia Brittanica similarly states: "The earliest successful AI program was written in 1951 by Christopher Strachey, later director of the Programming Research Group at the University of Oxford. Strachey’s checkers (draughts) program ran on the Ferranti Mark I computer at the University of Manchester, England. By the summer of 1952 this program could play a complete game of checkers at a reasonable speed."
I've therefore tentatively amended the wording in the article, but would be happy to hear if anyone has sound reasons why this edit should not happen.
Thanks

Three points:
1. The source does not make that claim
2. The link is to Abe Books, a commercial site. (In principle there is nothing wrong with a commercial link as a secondary source, but a lot of the time the copy is all sales-related and written without a regard to (academic) accuracy.)
3. Which culinary community?

Talk:Wrestle War (video game)

message: Uhm...how could it be that Buckskin Rogers is based on Bart Gunn, when Wrestle War was released in the Arcades in 1989 and Mike Polchlopek started his career in late 1991? He didn't even become Bart Gunn of the Smoking Gunns until April 1993 when that Tag-Team made their debut at WWF. 
It's just not possible. 
If anything i guess that character is based on Stan Hansen. Hansen was extremely popular in Japan (where the game was made and he was even more popular then Hogan or Vader at that time in Japan) during the 80's and early 90's. And it just makes a lot more sense.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.145.215.82 (talk) 15:36, 1 April 2011 (UTC)
