IBM Redbooks
I've reverted your addition of the large wall of text you made to this article. Where did this come from? --Hammersoft (talk) 22:05, 6 March 2015 (UTC)
 * I was the Director of the WTSC from 1970 to 1987 and was responsible for the Redbook efforts, Mike Turin — Preceding unsigned comment added by Turinm (talk • contribs)
 * Ok, but understand you are primary source then, and we need to be able to verify content. We depend upon secondary sources for that. Can we distill this content into secondary sourced content? --Hammersoft (talk) 22:33, 6 March 2015 (UTC)

Yes, feel free to use as you wish. With most of my peers no longer with us, not sure how you can verify, but if necessary I can supply an email of one or two old timers who can vouch for the accuracy of my input. Mike That's life! But in any case you're now one of maybe 3 people in the world who know why the "Redbooks" are called "Redbooks" and why they alone of all the IBM publications carry the names of their authors. Regards, Mike Turin
 * That would still count as a primary source. --Hammersoft (talk) 23:36, 6 March 2015 (UTC)
