Talk:Dick Sabot

Copyright Violation?

This is not a copyvio; I wrote both pages. (Or, more accurately, I wrote both pages at the same time.) I can put a license notice up on the Tripod site if you like, saying it's from Wikipedia. (Or vice-versa. Regardless, I grant license for both parties to use the text.) JRP 22:02, 22 July 2005 (UTC)

If the text appears on wikipedia, it will need to be under the gfdl, so it would be more appropriate if a notice appears on the tripod site. Enochlau 11:50, 24 July 2005 (UTC)

If this is sourced from a Tripod page, it should be linked as a source. KenThomas (talk) 06:02, 27 June 2011 (UTC)

Lacks significant sourcing; NPOV

Look guys... I do not want to disrespect Dick Sabot's memory, more than anyone, but, an article on the site of the company created by the subject of a the article, is in no way a neutral source.

As a Wikipedia article and not a corporate bio, this piece reads like a mixture of Williamstown lore and unsourced praise-- some of which may be true. As a Wikipedia article, written by a Tripod employee(?), it is close to violating the autobiographical rules and violates several others in regards to neutrality.

In the end, it violates NPOV and is highly problematic. It needs to be reworked. KenThomas (talk) 05:59, 27 June 2011 (UTC)

Where is this Silicon River from? It was Silicon Village.

The New York Times had this article that mentioned the name: https://www.nytimes.com/2000/05/30/us/museum-brings-town-back-to-life.html. And another: https://www.nytimes.com/2000/05/12/arts/inside-art-barkless-puppy-in-tree-s-place.html. The cited reference is unfindable on the internet (by me, anyway).

Any objections to me fixing this?
