[edit] Spelling

Please stop changing the spelling of Guido's name back and forth. User:Hoopydink keeps reverting User:67.189.116.229 edits which are in fact correct. From Guido's website:

Spelling: my last name is two words, and I'd like keep it that way, the spelling on some of my credit cards notwithstanding. Dutch spelling rules dictate that when used in combination with my first name, "van" is not capitalized: "Guido van Rossum". But when my last name is used alone to refer to me, it is capitalized, for example: "As usual, Van Rossum was right."[1]

[edit] Picture

Please replace the picture with the more recent one that's currently on my homepage. (I would do it myself but I'm still learning wikipedia edits and uploading pictures seems a dark art.) I have a hi-res version and an email from the photographer who allows me to give this photo to Wikipedia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gvanrossum (talk • contribs) 2006-12-31 01:22:47
