The 1994 book by RMS isn't WP:PRIMARY, but it also doesn't list you by name, that I could find. I think you are in the acknowledgements of the 1996 edition, though. But the biography-page is not supposed to be a resume, it is supposed to be a "formal assessment of your contribution to the history of humanity" as evidenced by reflecting what the sources actually say about you. Also, we have an article on Dunnet, so giving a lot of details about it here is needless duplication. Dunnet is WP:N and has in-depth coverage, but coverage of the topic of Ron Schnell in the Dunnet sources is mere mention, that you were the author. Anyways, the overall weight of the Dunnet-sentence needs to be kept relatively short, but not necessarily as short as my first-pass-rough draft. The more important thing, though, it to keep the article

WP:SOURCES actually say. They have little to say about Ron Schnell in relation to Dunnet, so in this BLP article, we should wikilink to Dunnet (video game)
, but not much more. By contrast, we can give some details about the BLP's sports career, since we have half-a-dozen sentences specifically about that, from a couple paragraphs motherJones wrote up, in their overall article about the 2013 championship-match teams.

One last hint, always give the datespans (and organize sentences chronologically when that makes sense), as if this was a history-textbook, since of course, in a way that is just what this is. Don't say "was" when you can give specific years. But per the hints above about

WP:NOTRESUME, the date+corp+jobtitle style, is best avoided. More later. 75.108.94.227 (talk) 14:00, 28 August 2015 (UTC)[reply

refs with errors

Corrected a few ref-bugs, wrong param-name mostly, but left these.

I left these errors in there, because so far as I know, there is no Template:cite_web option that permits one to specify NULL as the value. I do not know the archive-date, in this case, but I do very much know that the URL is an archive-URL, and not the original URL, because there *was* no original URL. The magazine was published hardcopy in 1982. These URLs are scans, made by a fansite that is legitimately uploading scans, after getting permission from the original copyright-holders.

  Now, that is a bit of an odd situation in and of itself, so I'd like to have some other (more intricacies-of-copyright-savvy) wikipedian look over the ref in question, and decide whether we should be linking to the allegedly-DMCA-compliant

WP:CONVENIENCE
link at all, or if instead we should just not offer a URL.

  Also, if the ref does pass copyright-muster, maybe somebody with more wiki-template-savvy than me, will come along and show us how to properly format the cite-web-or-equivalent, so as to specify an archive-URL of a document that was original hardcopy-only. 75.108.94.227 (talk) 23:07, 29 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The UPI article that is quoted in the refs can be found online at http://www.upi.com/Archives/1981/11/01/14-year-old-is-computer-whiz/3943373438800/ . I (and my Wiki-friend 75108) suggest changing:

Edit Request

Can someone please change the Rand Paul headline to past tense? I'd appreciate it. Thanks. Ron Schnell 18:52, 4 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Another WP:RS source

Not sure if there's a place for it in the article or not, but wanted to mention this article that just came out, in a source that is WP:RS. I don't think it's particularly important to add, but figured this would be a good spot to note its existence. http://adexchanger.com/politics/what-becomes-of-a-campaigns-data-assets-when-a-presidential-run-is-suspended/ Ron Schnell 21:49, 1 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Edit Request 12/28/16

I'm not sure where template transclusions are appropriate, but it's hard for me to imagine why it would be appropriate here. Due to WP:COI I request that someone take a look at this and, if appropriate, remove the Rand Paul template that was added today. Ron Schnell 02:38, 29 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

 Done Hi Aviators99, I've removed this for you. st170etalk 02:47, 30 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Edit Request

No response to a consensus request, so officially requesting edit.

Due to

WP:COI
, I request consensus for some edits:

 Done Duke Gilmore (talk) 02:59, 17 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Information about
    WP:RS, but now is (see example [1]
    )

 Not done The cited article does not provide enough information to use as a reliable source. No others could be found. Duke Gilmore (talk) 02:59, 17 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Where it says I attended Syracuse University from 1984 through 1986, someone should add ", and again from 2007-2008" (potentially adding that I received a Master of Science, Computer Science at that later time). (Also potentially mentioning that Syracuse allowed me to skip undergraduate, due to my experience in the industry and teaching - as detailed in the trial, and possibly in press coverage of the trial).

I'm happy to make more specific wording suggestions, but I prefer that this is done by proper editors. Ron Schnell 19:51, 26 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done Cited articles do not provide needed information.

Also adding a prior edit request for consensus along with these: Suggest adding one or both of these links to the footnotes the the penultimate paragraph of the "Life and Work" section, as I recently published a scholarly article about the Microsoft-related work, and there was a video interview/podcast relating to it as well.

The links are: https://law.stanford.edu/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/himes-nieh-schnell-computational-antitrust.pdf

Oh, I checked your user page. You are Ron Schnell. This is still not the way to lead a biographical Wikipedia article. – Muboshgu (talk) 22:06, 1 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
According to your cited
MOS:BIRTHNAME, "For people who are best known by a pseudonym, the legal name should usually appear first in the article, followed closely by the pseudonym.

Okay, I'm fine with your change. But hey, User:David Eppstein and User:Muboshgu, if you are really interested in keeping this page up to date, please have a look at the edit requests. Ron Schnell 00:14, 2 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
