Talk:Steve Vickers (academia)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Writing

``His writing style can be described as humourous yet informative, it arguably was part of some of the best technical documentation for its era."

This is a biased opinion. I'm not saying it's not correct, but it's not in the style indicative of Wikipedia.Matt.smart 15:42, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image

Could someone find an image please? I was going to copy the image from Steve's homepage, but clearly that's copyrighted to him. Matt.smart 15:42, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

You could always try e-mailing him and asking for permission, I guess. Cheers --Pak21 15:57, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

According to This and Wikipedia:Publicity photos, that's not acceptable :( someone needs to go take a picture of him.. hehe Matt.smart 10:30, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

I meant "Dear Dr Vickers, (standard Wikipedia spiel). Would you be prepared to license this photo (link) of you under the GFDL so we can use it on Wikipedia?". I believe there are some form letters around somewhere for doing this. Cheers --Pak21 10:38, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] History

Why was the History deleted? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 147.188.192.41 (talk • contribs) .

It's been integrated into the Academia section (in a more encyclopedic style). What's the problem? Cheers --Pak21 11:33, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
