Is this typical? To see so many errors in Wikipedia articles?
- All of the Interlisp work was at Xerox. Although I was listed as a student at Stanford and didn't get my PhD until 1980, I was working at Xerox full-time after 1976.
- I had nothing to do with Interlisp-Jericho.
- There wasn't a port of Interlisp to the vax, there was an effort to build one, and I wrote a document trying to scope out how much work that was to be done. That document wasn't to "document the port".
- My work at Stanford was on the Dendral project as an employee (my Alternative Service), not as a student. The program was in Lisp.
- My work on document management was almost all at Xerox, not for Adobe. I didn't do "pioneering work on the PDF format" (for anyone).
- I remained an employee of Xerox PARC, becoming a "Principal Scientist", but never had the title "Chief Scientist" and never reported to "Xerox AI Systems".
- I wasn't "instrumental in the development of the PDF MIME type" (I helped publish it at best.)
- My work on internet standards through IETF and W3C was over many years, between Xerox, AT&T Labs and Adobe. But it was mainly a volunteer effort on my part.
- Internet standards are not published in "peer reviewed journals"; they are reviewed, but for different reasons than peer-reviewed journals.
- I never worked on Apache. I never collaborated with Nick Kew or Kim Veltman or anyone else on any book.
- The footnote references don't correspond very well to the topics discussed.
