World-Wide Web creation

I ask that the entire reference to Tim Berners-Lee as being the "father" of the World Wide Web be deleted. The Web came into being some 22 years before his time as explained by Wikipedia in the articles on ARPANET and WWMCCS.

Tim Berners-Lee is not the father of the internet! Although, I am sure he thinks he is. Apparently, someone did not do due diligence in their in their research of the Internet. To claim he “invented” the internet in 1989 shows the ignorance of whoever researched of the article. Wikipedia’s own files state “The Advanced Research Projects Agency Network (ARPANET) was an early packet switching network and the first network to implement the protocol suite TCP/IP. Both technologies became the technical foundation of the Internet. The ARPANET was initially funded by the Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) of the United States Department of Defense.[1][2][3][4][5]” Larry Roberts was the project manager for Arpanet starting in 1967. ARPANET was the first iteration of the WEB.James LiTCHFIELD (talk) 19:39, 6 August 2018 (UTC)Wikipedia

The worldwide deployment of U.S. forces required extensive long-range communications systems that can maintain contact with all of those forces at all times. To enable national command authorities to exercise effective command and control of their widely dispersed forces, a communications system was established to enable those authorities to disseminate their decisions to all subordinate units, under any conditions, within minutes. Such a command and control system, WWMCCS, was created by Department of Defense Directive S-5100.30, titled "Concept of Operations of the Worldwide Military Command and Control System," which set the overall policies for the integration of the various command and control elements that were rapidly coming into being in the early 1960s. I wrote Directive S-5200-1R (security guidelines for WWMCCS) in 1979. This system was a combined effort of military and academia and was actually the second iteration of the WEB.James LiTCHFIELD (talk) 19:39, 6 August 2018 (UTC)Wikipedia
