Dear DGG:
I would like to thank you for you comments on the article that I have submitted, namely that the article does not demonstrate that Dr. Pedro Kanof meets Wikipedia’s criteria for notability.
I respectfully disagree with this conclusion and will deeply appreciate if you kindly could give attention to my reasons why. Furthermore, I believe that changing the wording of the article may more clearly demonstrate Dr. Kanof's notability.
You have written: “Publicly shared bicycles were common in the world long before the 1980's--I recall them in San Francisco in the 1960s. Rental bicycles date from the 19th century." I certainly agree with this assessment. Moreover, I could add that publicly shared bicycles were not only in San Francisco in the 1960s but also more than a half century before in New York, Paris, London, and Buenos Aires, among other cities.
Furthermore, you have used the expressions “rental bicycles” and “publicly shared bicycles” and I hope that you could accept that the expression “bike sharing” was created in the last decade –after the implementations of automatic systems of rental bikes in Vienna, Lyon, Barcelona, and Paris, among other cities. That expression refers to a very specific type of rental bike.
This specific system of rental bikes that I am referring to has two keys features that distinguish it from the old procedure of rental bikes: a) it is implemented using electronic technology --that allows for the user to fix and take back bikes from an electronically operated parking station and for the automatic identification of bikes and users--, and b) it allows the rental bike transaction to be started at one point of a city and returned --closing the transaction--, in another point in that city or in another city. I hope that you could accept that the new method –described in b) above--, was possible thanks to the electronic technology –the feature that I referred above in a).
Rental bikes in the 60’s in San Francisco, or other cities, before or after that year were constrained in that the bike had to be returned to the shop that provided it. And that was the old classical method of rental bikes that is still now in use in many cities, such as Paris, Barcelona, etc., -- simultaneously with the "bike sharing" systems.
The contribution of Dr. Kanof is that he was in the 80’s, the first in the word to propose a system for renting bikes automatically, and he was able to do that thanks to his studies in electronics, computer science and business in Buenos Aires, Milan, Paris, and Berkeley, California. And the system that he proposed is what today we currently call “bike sharing’’. Consequently, it is clear that Dr. Kanof invented this system of “bike sharing” --that is a system for automatically renting bikes.
I hope that the additional information I have provided will lead you to agree with me that this is the correct interpretation, and kindly will approve my request to include his bio in Wikipedia.
I think that my wording may not have been clear in distinguishing between the general system and method of renting bikes and the more recent system and method of automatically renting bikes (known as “bike sharing”). In the 1980’s, Dr. Kanof invented the latter method and system, as shown by the investigation carried out by the reputable financial-economic newspaper Il Sole-24 Ore, and many other relevant sources.
In conclusion, to improve the article, I suggest using the following expression: "Dr. Pedro R. Kanof invented in the latest 80’s the system and method for automatically renting bikes, currently know as bike sharing…. "
Please let me know what you think and thank you for your time.
