Talk:Donald Knuth

Not Yet Ready For The Big Time

Erm... This page isn't 'CZ Live' yet. It's been copied and pasted from Wikipedia, without so much as a template noting that it's been copied from a GFDL site. Pages have to be cleaned up and improved upon by local editors to be considered CZ Live... Shanya Almafeta 21:21, 25 January 2007 (CST)

When we started, we forked-and had copies of all Wikipedia articles. For several weeks (months?-I Iose track) we started new articles, and worked on the forked articles. Generally, we were supposed to make CZ Live any of the forked articles we worked on as well as the new articles created, and then, when we decided to try unforking, only the CZ live articles were to be retained. Well, there were some articles that were not CZ live, but yet had changes made in them by CZers. What to do? A decision was made to keep them around a while so as not to delete someone's work. This one looks like it will be deleted when the "waiting" period is over. Nancy Sculerati MD 22:04, 25 January 2007 (CST)

I'd like to edit and modify this article enough to get it to the point of "CZ Live" status. Where does it get to the point where an article is no longer "just a copy from Wikipedia"? In my opinion Donald Knuth is a worthy addition to the 'Computers Workgroup' articles --Eric M Gearhart 09:57, 2 April 2007 (CDT)

I think this is ready for Live

I was looking at this doing the Big Cleanup and I think the article has been edited enough to be distinct from its Wikipedia counterpart. If there had not been any comments, I would have flagged it as Live.

I'm going to change the Checklist to "Developing" and add the "CZ Live" category to the article, as I agree with you. Also please sign your comments with --~~~~ as it makes reading discussion pages soo much easier... thanks :) --Eric M Gearhart 16:49, 2 April 2007 (CDT)
