Talk:Portola Institute

Date[edit]

I'm not sure what the correct date of founding for the P.I. is, but it can't be 1974. The P.I. published the first issue of Stewart Brand's Whole Earth Catalog in 1968, with Richard Raymond as the central figure in P.I. at the time. This was reported in early issues of the Catalog.

By the way, is Richard Raymond the same as "Dick Raymond" who wrote gardening books and has (I believe) had a TV gardening show? Joel Russ 13:44, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think part of the info in the article as it now stand actually pertains to the POINT Foundation, which directed projects such as the later editions of the WEC and also CoEvolution Quarterly and Whole Earth Review.Joel Russ (talk) 14:48, 30 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've revised the article with sources and have fixed the date. -Classicfilms (talk) 16:48, 30 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Good. By the way, any particular reason why you've chosen (so far) not to respond to my e-mail to you (the one about CQ & WER)?Joel Russ (talk) 17:17, 30 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Joel Russ. Sorry about that, I rarely check email so I didn't see your message (my talk page is the best place to contact me). I'll respond to your questions here. By all means, restore any parts of the article that can be sourced- it would be greatly appreciated. My goal was to clean up these articles which contained a great deal of unsourced information. Thanks for your work on these pages. -Classicfilms (talk) 17:28, 30 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
