Where is she Now?

Is there anyone who actually knows some biographical stuff about Dona Bailey? I for one can't seem to find anything, but this article really needs that sort of information--not just an overview of the game she created. Kamezuki 03:58, September 8, 2005 (UTC)

That "one of the first video games to incorporate AI" sounds a little bizarre. I have played much Centipede in my life, and those creatures certainly don't do anything very advanced--hell, the only choice they have is which row/column they enter from. So unless "AI" means "moving objects other than the player", I don't know what that claim is supposed to mean. 68.161.213.167 22:01, 14 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I know she was originally from Ark. I was her neighbor in Palo alto in the 80's but haven't seen her in over 20 years. Where is she Now?

Only woman at Atari at that time?

This seems to be contradicted by Kotaku's article: Kotaku: Sex, Pong, And Pioneers: What Atari Was Really Like, According To Women Who Were There

Correction—11:00 a.m., 2/14/18: The article previously stated that Dona Bailey was Atari’s only female programmer at the time, when, in fact, Atari employed multiple/a small number of female programmers at that time. The article has been corrected to reflect this. --Redqualia (talk) 07:38, 24 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Work Plan

I plan to continue improving on this article by doing more research on Dona Bailey. My searches so far seem to have limited results about any information on Dona Bailey, especially when it comes to reliable sources. While I’ve already contributed a good amount of information I was able to find out about her, I'd like to add more details about Bailey's time at Atari working on Centipede and her other contributions. I will do this by utilizing all my resources, including the CSI Library Resources and Google Scholar. I intend to exhaust all of my options in finding information on Dona Bailey. I will also consider adding an image of Dona Bailey herself, to replace the photo of the Centipede arcade cabinet that is already in the article. I intend to find an image that is free to use and I will search the Creative Commons database or other free use image databases to find an image that has a free license. However, if I cannot find one, I will leave the image of the arcade cabinet in the article. LyssBlyss (talk) 04:52, 7 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
