LIGO
While it's true that the timeline at NCSA says in 1992 "Black hole simulations support development of LIGO" (emphasis added by me), the official site makes it clear that LIGO was developed by CalTech and MIT, so I'm going to edit it to say "supporting". -Jacob 68.161.230.208 02:52, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
Repetition
This article needs cleanup... a lot, there is repetition and everything. I removed a part because it was repetitive. -- rburp

Bad Link
The links to Thom Dunning seem to be bad. One link references a Wikipedia entry that doesn't exsist, the other is lacking a valid domain.
Another bad link?
When I tried to follow (click on) the link to "Larry Smarr's testimony before US House of Representatives", it took [forwarded?] me to a page at "http://science.house.gov/" with no explanation of what the problem [if any] was. Mike Schwartz 00:30, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

Modified History Section
Changed and improved the opening "History" paragraph. Actually, it should be rewritten to focus on the research (which is the reason NCSA exists), with less focus on the software that was released, although that seems to be what captured public attention. The other history sections also could stand modification, should someone with the knowledge also develop the inclination. 24.178.228.14 (talk) 19:45, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
The section about the creation of the NSF centers expands on a brief mention in the History section; I think it should be folded into History. Malkmus07 (talk) 17:39, 4 February 2011 (UTC)
Modified Business Partners Section
Added information about the program; formatted list into columns for a better reader experience. The link to Smarr's congressional testimony did not go there, and so was removed. 24.178.228.14 (talk) 22:47, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
New Director?
According to the website, Dr. William "Bill" Gropp is NCSA Director and Chief Scientist. I assume that replaces Ed Seidel? 207.229.172.191 (talk) 20:29, 20 August 2017 (UTC)
