Excuse me while I write articles on Anthony DiPierro, Justin Cormack,
and the rest.
If you can find third party, verifiable information on them, I look
forward to reading your articles.
Well I know exactly what third party verifiable information about me
is out
there (well I hope I do). It would produce an amazingly incoherent
article:
odd spells alternating long and short in Universities, directorship of a
Russian restaurant, couple of rather dull drivers in the Linux
kernel, old
Usenet postings about food, edits to wikipedia, strangely inconsistent
official addresses, detailed positionings in space and time based on my
photos in Commons, place and time of birth, fact that closest
relative with
an article on wikipedia is my uncle, several pictures under free
licenses.
Actually that list looks alarmingly like some of the articles we do have
on wikipedia, random collections of facts without a narrative and
organizing
thread to make them into really good articles.
