replies: text: Do you have a source?  I have a source that says that they did.  Unless there's a source to oppose that, I'd say that sourced information is more accurate than unsourced claims. 123.2.168.215 13:56, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

text: I added the Shameful spin part to the scanner entry.  Slashdot is merely commenting on it, and isn't newsworthy in this case. 123.2.168.215 12:46, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Scanner at Wired's Threat Level 

message: This is a rather extraordinary claim.  As such it requires a strong source.  OhMyNews in Korea is not a sufficient source for this claim because it is self-described as a community written newspaper.  There no indication of fact checking.  Those who disagree may start a discussion at Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard. Please don't edit war.  Thanks. - Jehochman  Talk 15:03, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Because the source isn't reliable.  If this information were true, it is interesting enough that it would be published some place reliable.  OhmyNews allows anyone to publish any crackpot theory. - Jehochman  Talk 17:30, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

text: You could ask Ludwig whether he'd put his name to a rumor and call it fact. - Jehochman  Talk 17:59, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Was Virgil hired by Wikipedia to create the Wikipedia Scanner? 

message: This comic is obviously about Wikipedia Scanner...  But, is it relevant enough to link? --Elonka 21:38, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The scanner in popular culture? It's been all over the press for the past week ... - David Gerard 14:27, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

text: Ah, I hadn't noted the scanner had its own article ... it'd belong there, not here IMO - David Gerard 14:29, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

message: The category People Involved with Ethereum (or however it is phrased) was added to the article in mid-September 2018. I don't see any mention of Virgil's Ethereum involvement in the article though. Can someone source this? If not, please remove the category.--FeralOink (talk) 14:04, 5 October 2018 (UTC)
