[edit] Pronunciation
- Les Horribles Cernettes ("The Horrible CERN girls") ...
Is it in French or Spanish? What is the correct pronunciation and accent? Thanks! --Anonymous Fan of the first girls on the Web who uses a GNUstep desktop that looks almost identical to the one Tim was using when he created the Web -- what a small world. :-)
- French, of course ! Why should it be Spanish ?
- The pronunciation is "lez oRibl sèRnèt" (in phonétic alphabet) Rama 15:52, 28 Feb 2005 (UTC)
[edit] poor documentation of photo
Both the photo of the group in the article and the referenced (linked in the text) first image ever clicked on the World Wide Web are not adequately documented. None of the Cernettes included in either are identified! Can anyone identify them? WP should certainly include this information if it is to meet its intended goals. (Bet the Brittanica doesn't even have a picture!) Can anyone help? 68.161.24.234 06:33, 8 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Merge from First image on the Web
I suggest that the above-linked article be merged to this one. --Tony Sidaway 19:58, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Photograph not image
The website does not claim the Cernettes picture was the first image on the web. It claims that it was the first photo. Tim Berners-Lee has stated that the first edition of the web browser (December 1990), was capable of displaying images[1] Bwithh 22:43, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
- I've removed what I consider to be original research--a deduction in the article apparently based on a certain reading of Berners-Lee's description of the first WorldWideWeb application. The claim about the Cernettes is documented and need not be explicitly evaluated at this time. It's enough to report it. --Tony Sidaway 16:18, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
Furthermore, Silvano de Gennaro does not claim that it was the first image on the web, but rather, "the first picture ever to be clicked on in a web browser". (emphasis mine) There is a difference. Of course, it could simply be inexact language on the part of de Gennaro. What we really need is for TBL to step in and set the record straight. I find it hard to believe that TBL didn't do some experimentation with other images he had at hand while developing the technology. Rocinante9x 17:27, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
