Talk:MicroMUSE

Restoring Dr. Kort
I'll be completely up front about this: Dr. Kort is in contact with me and mentioned that his name was taken out half a year ago. He's currently not able to edit, so I'd like to do this legitimately and totally upfront to avoid the risk of being accused of proxy editing. As I see it, Dr. Kort's involvement in the project is adequately verified and documented. So I've brought this back with the university newspaper interview as a citation. And if anyone objects, please contact me. Thanks, Durova Charge! 07:58, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

Present tense
As I'm currently connected to MicroMUSE and talking on it now, I'm well aware that it's up, running, and active. Thus I've gone through and changed all the appropriate past tense references to present-tense. I don't think it's appropriate to refer to it in the past tense when it's still there and reasonably active (esp for a MUSE of its age).

There are two bits I've added that I'm not sure how to source (new wikipedia editor, me, hi!): one, a brief reference that it's based on the TinyMUSE system (which I think is accurate; I'm not a MUSE-creator myself, alas) and two, the fact that it's still got a core group of active users. Since you can log in and verify this, it seems self-evident, but I'm not sure if it requires other sourcing, or how to do it.

Oh, and I added the link to the site itself as per the external links policy.
