User talk:Ken Birman

Hi, I'm Ken Birman. Welcome to my talk page....

Comments on Virtual synchrony
I created the original version of the virtual synchrony page, although others have been working on it since (the improvements are welcomed!). I've been limiting my own editing of that page in order to hand this off to the Wikipedia community as a whole. However, some of the edits were incorrect either in terms of factual content or by introducing misleading connections to other articles. So I have done some editing recently.

For example, one person had removed all figures, claiming "they are identical". In fact if you look at the three figures they are clearly not identical. Perhaps someone could tell Wikipedia to render them a bit larger, so that the arrows will be easier to make out? At any rate, I reintroduced them, since the associated section made no sense without them (and continued to refer to them almost line by line!)

Comments on Gossip protocol
I'm also the original author for this page. I'm not planning to edit the page, but clearly it would also benefit from high quality editing.

Cryptocurrency welcome
Here's the standard notice for cryptocurrency/blockchain articles. They're plagued with promotional nonsense and terrible referencing, to the point where we had to put in rules specially for them to this extent. Sorry you got caught in the crossfire :-( Welcome to crypto, here's your accordion - David Gerard (talk) 16:57, 15 August 2019 (UTC)
