Kleinrock
The problem I have with including that anecdote is that it's just a fun story, and as such not really suitable for inclusion in an encyclopaedia article. We do link to Kleinrock's stuff (although from the packet switching page, not the ARPANET page, I see - I will fix this - too many pages!), and if people click on the links they will be able to read it there on his web site. Plus to which, as I said, it makes Kleinrock look more important than he was in the early ARPAnet work, to the detriment of many people we don't name at all.

As to the correct division of credit: I don't think there's anything at all to be gained by interacting directly with Kleinrock (whom I first met in about 1978, if memory serves). I have known for a long time what his claims are (I helped Katie Hafner with the research for her book - you'll find me in the credits), and I think that by now I have a pretty good model what the division of credit is - and I think all of the people I named get a share of the credit, each contributing a specific facet. Noel (talk) 04:51, 11 Nov 2004 (UTC)


 * Frankly, I hope he doesn't show up here, because if he does he's quite possibly going to insist on editing things to match his story on what the importance of his role is, and it's just going to turn into an ugly situation - which I frankly don't need. It would really be a lot easier to get this all straightened out without the principals directly on hand. Oh well. Noel (talk) 05:01, 11 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Look, I'm really heartily sick of dealing with this. I spent a long time reading everything that was readily available some years ago, when I was helping Katie Hafner with research for her book. (E.g. for the early stages, I read Kleinrock's 1964 queueing theory book many years ago, along with Baran's complete study, etc, etc.) The papers recently provided online do not alter that picture in any way.

In any event, I'm not about to totally reverse the conclusion of DARPA's own in-house historians, who had acccess to DARPA's internal papers, plus interviews with all the principals there. There might be reasons to paint a slightly broader picture, but that's all.

It would also be unfair to give weight to Kleinrock's memories, when Davies is no longer here to lay out his case.

If nothing else, Wikipedia's policy is no original research, which means we're supposed to rely on historians who have the time to delve deeply, and do wide-ranging research into original sources - which DARPA's historians already did. So I suggest you get ahold of the Norberg/O'Neill book and use that for a guide.

If you will look at the Leonard Kleinrock page, you will see that I recently redid it to be NPOV, and moreover, credit Kleinrock with an important piece of work that he himself doesn't make any noise about in his "list of accomplishments" page, so it's not that I have any anti-Kleinrock axe to grind.

I have no interest in delving any deeper into this, because I've already spent too much time on it. I have zero interest in having you serve as a go-between, and I deeply wish you would stop trying. Noel (talk) 23:03, 12 Nov 2004 (UTC)


 * The thing is that I really don't have the time/energy to deal with this right now, and so I'd have really preferred to let this sleeping dog lie until another day. The pages aren't perfect, but they are reasonable, and there is much else on Wikipedia that's in even worse shape. So if I'm sounding cranky at you for bringing this all to life, that's why. Time I spend on dealing with this is time that I just don't have right now... Noel (talk) 01:31, 13 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Mul-t-lock article
If you can source your statements, that is if they are verifiable, then they should remain. If anyone removes them without a discussion, you can revert that edit. Arbitration is not necessary at this point. --Fahrenheit451 05:57, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

I suggest you also make a formal complaint using the affidavit to the consumer affairs department in your state government. That way it becomes public record which is citable.--Fahrenheit451 17:47, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

Possibly unfree Image:Vss.JPG
An image that you uploaded or altered, Image:Vss.JPG, has been listed at Possibly unfree images because its copyright status is disputed. If the image's copyright status cannot be verified, it may be deleted. Please go to its page for more information if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. - SCEhard T 04:44, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Mul-t-lock, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group or service and which would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add  on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Awyong Jeffrey Mordecai Salleh 06:58, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Coreforcescreenshot.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Coreforcescreenshot.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

Fair use rationale for Image:Vss.JPG
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Vss.JPG. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Nilfanion (talk) 16:03, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

License tagging for Image:Hp ms-vault.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Hp ms-vault.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 18:07, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:Hp ms-vault.jpg
Hi Kim Meyrick!

We thank you for uploading Image:Hp ms-vault.jpg, but there is a problem. Your image is currently missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. Unless you can help by adding a copyright tag, it may be deleted by an Administrator. If you know this information, then we urge you to add a copyright tag to the image description page. We apologize for this, but all images must confirm to policy on Wikipedia.

Proposed deletion of Number line (disambiguation)


The article Number line (disambiguation) has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * Disambiguation pages with only two links are not useful. A direct link has been made between the articles.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
