Talk:Tom Limoncelli

message: Someone recently told me that they thought the picture of me on Wikipedia doesn't look like me.  It is quite old. I do have newer photos on http://whatexit.org/tal/me
(The guidelines say I can't change my own bio page, so I'm leaving this note.)

message: "He is currently Director, IT Services for Cibernet Corporation where he is responsible for their computer and network infrastructure."
That's not true any more.  I left Cibernet in November 2005.  I took a short sabbatical then in January 2006 I started working at Google, where I am today.  My title is "Site Reliability Engineer".
I'm sort of surprised by this biography because it mostly talks about my activism, which I've practically retired from.  It makes little mention of my contribution to the System Administration field.  Oh well!
:Because I took most of it off of one of the Bi sites + you hadn't officially moved over to Google yet.  I'll update it soon I promise.  
: But also it's 'cause I'm just a little nervous saying that you work for Google 'cause I figured everyone who knows you and has a Google Question will start harassing you CyntWorkStuff
Google Questions is part of the job :-)  —Preceding unsigned comment added by TomLimoncelli (talk • contribs) 22:42, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

message: Tom's activism work is great and all, but I think that he's far more notable for his books, TMFSA, and that other one ;) Jgw (talk) 19:16, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Umm . . . not sure what the problem is here.  So he's a notable guy is several areas.  And it is quite possible that people who know him because of his stellar work in one thing will be pleasantly surprised to come here and find out that he also excels in other areas.  Isn't that all to the good?   Yours in great puzzlement CyntWorkStuff (talk) 19:31, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Notableness 

message: I nominated this article for speedy deletion per A-7 (lack of significance).  There are no independent sources, and there is no evidence of any significance. Simply being a local activist does not entitle a person to a Wikipedia article.  71.125.74.53 (talk) 02:20, 11 January 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Vote against deletion. There are indeed outside references now, and I'd say that his notability in two areas merits his inclusion here. --tgeller (talk) 18:53, 11 February 2014 (UTC)
