Huh?

Do we really need an article about an insignificant person who wrote children's programs for the Apple Macintosh? How many millions of programmers should we then add as articles to Wikipedia? By the way the person who posted this article has an agenda and is an Original source of information, against the rules of Wikipedia. And, yes, it is related to the Racial and Ethnic firings that are still on-going at Apple computer, with pending lawsuits.

This article should probably be removed. Apple Employees are not allowed to take credit for any of Apple's programs either.

Perhaps they aren't, but that's no reason to stop Wikipedia from posting it. As long as it's not original research. Electrolite 19:33, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

Your post is inappropriate and completely irrelevant to the article, qualifying as vandalism. Remove the information, or get an admin to delete the article entirely. I'm reverting. --TangentIdea 20:33, 15 August 2005 (UTC)

Both of you stop. This is not the way to handle the situation. If one of you believes the article should not exist, list it on VfD. Do not continue to revert back and forth or I will protect the article and list it on VfD myself. -- Essjay · Talk 20:41, August 15, 2005 (UTC)

Look, this needs to stop. LotsOfProblems, if you feel that the article is unnecessary, take it to the VfD page. I've taken off the information about his Apple contributions per your recommendation. --TangentIdea 03:13, 29 August 2005 (UTC)
