Web for schools

is the web for schools mentioned in the article this site: http://www.w3schools.com/?

--Family Guy Guy 04:48, 26 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Has this got anything to do with Robert Cailliau? --Frodet 07:49, 26 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

well this article says he started the web for schools. 65.6.69.131 14:07, 3 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, sorry. I completely misunderstood the question, but when I read it now it's quite clear. But no, it's not the above institution, but rather http://wfs.eun.org/, which has been closed for quite a while. --Frodet 16:50, 3 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Atheist?

Any sources confirming that Cailliau is atheist? serioushat 12:38, 11 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

There are no sources confirming he's atheist, so you can take it as if he's a common believer or else, he's underconfident to share it to any source.... UnconditionalHeist (talk) 10:58, 11 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

WWW "logo"

This article includes a "historical" logo for the world wide web that I've never seen or heard of. I can't find any good source that verifies that Robert Cailliau actually created the logo. It was added by an IP in 2006 [1]; I've checked the English and French revision histories and see no sourcing for this. A Google search gives [2] which is clearly based on Wikipedia. @Elisardojm: appears to have created one version of the image, can you help? 75.162.124.147 (talk) 00:02, 12 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I think I found an actual source near 2004 when I rewrote most of fr:World Wide Web, but I don't remember it. I read a long time ago that Robert Cailliau see the letter W as green, hence the logo colors. The fact about green may be sourced with Seaberg, Tasting the Universe, p. 69, but I don't have the book to check. For the logo itself, it could be sourced from the CERN : https://home.cern/news/news/computing/web-30-celebrating-culture-openness. Marc Mongenet (talk) 01:05, 12 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

One more source (2012) : https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/sensorium/201202/why-do-we-call-it-world-wide-web Marc Mongenet (talk) 01:10, 12 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The logo can be seen in historical pictures File:Robert Cailliau On Desk.jpg. Marc Mongenet (talk) 01:18, 12 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I finally found the original source, I wrote to Robert Cailliau in 2004 : https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fichier:WWWlogo.png. Marc Mongenet (talk) 01:36, 12 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Marc Mongenet: Thanks, I've added a source to the article. I think a PsychiatryToday article is a better source than an old image; the move to Commons make any history more than 10 years old difficult to look up. 75.162.124.147 (talk) 02:06, 12 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, sorry for not being able to help with this, I just transferred the file from en.wiki to Commons to reuse it, but I think that the references added here are correct. --Elisardojm (talk) 08:45, 12 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
