Talk:Tarleton Gillespie

Discussion of Wired Shut and Ideas Therein
I think the importance of this biography depends partly on the ideas in Wired Shut. In particular it seems that notions of copyright protection are topical, and we are at a pivotal period in cultural development in digitalil(izing) society. I think there should be a paragraph discussing the importance of Gillespie's contribution to the current debates about and future of copyright. Further, what are the relevant pages on wikipedia on these topics? --Iiihtwiii 02:35, 9 May 2007 (UTC)


 * We should build in more content from his scholarship, for example his phd work. --computersnob 10:36, 9 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Perhaps also we should have things like, who his phd advisor was, etc. do we want to touch on personal life things? for example, his website notes that "My son, Jonas, turned 1 year old this past month (April 22).  Unbelievable." --computersnob 10:41, 9 May 2007 (UTC)


 * There is also a lot of information on his Facebook profile such as his favorite music and hobbies. Is it a violation of privacy to use this information even though it available online? 128.84.61.22 03:55, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

need to rewrite description of research interests
Some admin type deleted the description of research interests that someone had copied wholesale from the Cornell Comm page. Similar ideas need to be conveyed less efficiently to meet copyright restrictions. --Iiihtwiii 20:45, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

hockey comment
Is it true that Gillespie attends many Cornell sporting events or is that vandalism? Can anybody testify to this? How can you prove that this is not vandalism? Medtech349 04:15, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
