Talk:Mike Lynch (businessman)

message: I've removed this part:
: based on the theories of 18th century English mathematician Thomas Bayes
It's silly.  Bayesian networks and Bayesian filtering are standard techniques in artificial intelligence.  Though there is obviously a connection to the historical work of Bayes, saying that this work is "based on [his] theories" neglects all the intermediate work.
It would be equivalent to saying that the construction of the Chunnel was "based on the ideas of English mathematician Issac Newton". --Saforrest 21:08, 27 November 2005 (UTC)

message: An anonymous editor wants to put that Lynch is first and foremost a scientist. Lynch does not describe himself in this way in his bio at his website, http://autonomyaccounts.org/biography/ . I would say that Lynch has made substantial contributions to science but I cannot find evidence that he is an active scientist, according to the definition at scientist. The Royal Society criteria for fellows does not use the word scientist (https://royalsociety.org/about-us/fellowship/election/). ComputScientist (talk) 05:47, 9 August 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: The Oracle piece gained quite a bit of media attention at the time and certainly should be retained. In any case properly sourced information really should not be removed from Wikipedia. Dormskirk (talk) 21:05, 5 September 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Regarding "scientist": Sorry but I cannot find a reference for your claim "TO be an FRS you have to be a royal or an eminent scientist". That is not what is written at the Royal Society pages nor on wikipedia at FRS. Nor can I find a place where anyone describes Lynch as a scientist; he does not describe himself in this way on his bio pages at autonomy accounts or invoke. His page at the Royal Society does not mention science. I cannot find any recent published papers by Lynch (please point me to them). It is important that wikipedia does not attribute new things to people, especially in the first sentence on a page. I have a lot of respect for Lynch but I don't understand why you are so determined to portray him as an active scientist. ComputScientist (talk) 14:33, 8 September 2014 (UTC)

message: Should not the title be changed to "Mike Lynch" as that is the name he is most recognised by?
:"Mike Lynch" currently redirects to a disambiguation page with list of some 22 people named Michael / Mike Lynch. But "Mike Lynch (businessman)" would work. Dormskirk (talk) 16:18, 26 July 2021 (UTC)
