Talk:Herbert Schildt

I think this needs to be part of the page somehow: http://catb.org/jargon/html/B/bullschildt.html — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.61.9.75 (talk) 10:43, 19 August 2011 (UTC)


 * Yes, relevant, but has been mentioned before and removed for WP:BLP reasons. Barsoomian (talk) 12:10, 19 August 2011 (UTC)
 * This is bullshit. It's just like saying about all dead people that they were great people in life. His crappy book did give birth to the term "bullschildt". Why can't this be mentioned? And don't just tell me it's removed for BLP reasons! Tell me the precise reason, please! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.78.3.253 (talk) 12:46, 17 November 2011 (UTC)


 * WP:BLP is precisely why. "L"is for Living. When he's dead, no problem, he has no feelings to be hurt, and more importantly, can't sue anyone for libel. "Bullschildt" is basically just a derogatory pun and it doesn't help understanding the person. There was a long, long battle to get the uncomplimentary critiques of his books in at all despite the copious sourcing. He has one very tenacious fan who for years has tried to delete any critical remarks  about Schildt. Look at the archives of this talk page. If you want to make a case, you can start by signing up for a named account so you are accountable for it and can be called to defend your edits. An IP account doing anything the slightest bit controversial will usually be reverted immediately. I for one would step back if it wasn't an IP, but  I think the WP:BLPN would take a dim view if they were notified regardless. Barsoomian (talk) 13:10, 17 November 2011 (UTC)


 * So, basically, you are saying truth can suck cock because he has fans with named accounts. What if nazis have fans with named accounts? If so, will we suck nazi cock too? Will nazi war shit be less true because there are people whose feelings might get hurt? Man, I hate this politically correctness shit. Don't say stupid people are stupid, because they might be upset! Boo hoo! What if he has children? Can it be said after his death that he is the father of "bullschildt", or will we have to keep quiet because his children might sue us? This is all bullshit.


 * I see you haven't bothered to read the links I gave explaining the policies. You can sign up for a named (anonymous -- no one knows who you are) account in two minutes and then I'd leave it to someone else to argue with you. I don't agree with all the policies here myself, but just ranting about it won't get you anywhere.
 * It's interesting to see that the "Bullschildt" reference was first added to the article one day after the article was created, see here, five years ago; and then removed a few days later for "edits to confom with WP:BLP". And inserted and deleted countless times since. So you aren't raising a new issue.  Barsoomian (talk) 14:30, 17 November 2011 (UTC)

C Committee
http://www.seebs.net/c/c_tcn4e.html says "I spent about a decade on the C committee—and unlike Schildt, I actually showed up, submitted papers and proposals, worked to resolve defects, and otherwise contributed to the process." Possibly the "He was a member of the original ANSI committee..." section should say something about that. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.44.21.30 (talk) 18:23, 27 July 2012 (UTC)
 * It's a bit gossipy, just one person's opinion. Barsoomian (talk) 02:40, 28 July 2012 (UTC)
 * http://coding.derkeiler.com/Archive/General/comp.programming/2008-01/msg00827.html is a second committee member backing it up, at least to a certain extent. Still a bit gossipy, I know, which is why I haven't edited the main page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.44.21.30 (talk) 09:33, 15 January 2013 (UTC)

Biography
This article covers aspects of Schildt's authorship and membership of standardization committees. However, a biographic article might need to cover some mores aspects in Life section. I cannot find why he 'was' a member of those committees, of course there should be something on his resume that put him into such an important role. There should be something telling what he did between he graduated and become famous. Also, there is no information about birth year, graduation year etc. general information that we see in infoboxes. I do not have these information, but I assume there will be some editor who might add these info. --»  nafSadh did say 22:16, 21 February 2014 (UTC)

Born To Code C
The "Little C" section says the interpreter "was included in the books Born to Code In C" and other books. I have a copy of the book right here that I intend to donate to the Los Angeles Public Library. In Chapter 1, "A C Interpreter", Ralph Ryan, Project Manager of Microsoft C Version 3.0, claims that the interpreter (in the book) is his. Nowhere does the chapter say anything about Little C.

Also, the "Little C" section of this article says "Code for all these is available" but the authority for it is a generic page that provides no information for the Born to Code In C book. I previously tried to find the source code for the book and had difficulty finding it. The book offers the source code for an additional cost of $25. Sam Tomato (talk) 00:03, 7 August 2017 (UTC)
