I have made a substantial change in the style of presentation, hopefully in line with Wikipedia guidelines. — Jonathan Bowen 13:41, 4 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Jonathan, I think the issue here is still the lack of references. If the information in this article is true, then you are clearly notable enough to merit inclusion. The problem is that at the moment little of this is verifiable as so few independent sources are given, and there is little is any linkage between those sources that are given and the statements that they are sources for. Starting from the beginning of the article, how do I know you are an FBCS or an FRSA, how do I know you were born in 1956, how do I know you are British, how do I know your professorship is a computing professorship, how do I know you are a professor at LSBU (rather than a professor somewhere else, and employed in a non-professorial role by LSBU)? In the next paragraph, how do I know you were born in Oxford, how do I know Humphry Bowen was your dad, how do I know you were educated at ... ? The best way to ensure that this page persists in reasonable shape once you're no longer around to ensure it's not deleted or hacked about, is to ensure it's as backed up by evidence as possible. As it stands, people are justifiably suspicious that it is just a vanity project. SP-KP 23:14, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for your feedback. I have added some external references. Let me know if more is needed. Jonathan Bowen 00:18, 5 June 2006 (UTC)


 * A good start. There are still a number of statements which are not tied to a specific reference though. If there is a specific "primary" reference which we should assume is the default reference for any statements not given a specific inline reference, I think it would be useful to state which this is.
