I recall taking a class from an author who had some pretty cool ideas. But he had one of those vanilla names with a disambiguating page but he wasn’t on it. So I made him a link and a page and put what I knew down.

It got deleted instantly. I am not sure how I feel about that but I remember thinking I bet this pisses people off.




The issue is that on Wikipedia, you knowing something is not a reliable source.


Me transcribing the author name and biography information from a book is literally a citation.
