Talk:Paul Boutin

This should probably be split into two pages; I'm unsure of how to go about fixing that, though. I figured it out, moved it, and disambiguated.-GlamdringCookies 01:19, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

Paul wrote a piece on how to try to prevent Wikipedians from finding out that you're breaking WP:AUTO (editing your own entry to make you "seem important"). -- Jeandré, 2007-01-09t11:47z

I'm putting some links here, from which a fellow Wikipedian who knows the protocol better than me offered to flesh out the required sourcing for this entry.

paragraph 2 - links to published work https://www.wired.com/2003/07/slammer/ http://gadgetwise.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/02/25/president-obama-abandons-twitter https://www.technologyreview.com/s/426438/the-law-of-online-sharing/ http://www.newsweek.com/secretive-world-selling-data-about-you-464789 http://gawker.com/368529/the-250 (Valleywag!) http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-05-28/in-tech-s-batman-v-superman-gawker-s-nick-denton-sets-a-trap-for-peter-thiel (Bloomberg Businessweek, recent)

Josh Levin's quote about me, which is so accurate about my work, is lost from the Internet (and not in the Internet Archive.) I could ask him to dig it up from an old email if it would be useful.

paragraph 4 - work references http://simson.net/ref/athena/Athena_Open_To_Students.pdf (Project Athena staff list from 1985) http://www.slate.com/articles/technology/technology/2006/08/you_are_what_you_search.html (written while at, and using, Splunk. a very popular piece that Steven Levy included in an anthology - http://arstechnica.com/features/2008/03/book-review-2008-03

Bonus points if you can get my Onion appearance into WP! :-) http://www.theonion.com/article/factual-error-found-on-internet-102

Updated citations
The article subject contacted me to see if I could put his citations above in the article and remove the now-ancient notice at the top. We're friends, but see-each-other-every-few-years friends, so I don't feel like I have a big conflict of interest here. I have added assorted citations, put in one inline citation request, and removed the giant box. Feel free to drop me a note if you'd like to discuss. -- William Pietri (talk) 00:23, 18 December 2016 (UTC)
