External links modified

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to one external link on Jim Williams (analog designer). Please take a moment to review my edit. If necessary, add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:

Added archive http://web.archive.org/web/20120319221312/http://www.centredaily.com/2011/06/15/2779140/linear-technology-staff-scientist.html to http://www.centredaily.com/2011/06/15/2779140/linear-technology-staff-scientist.html

When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true or failed to let others know (documentation at {{Sourcecheck}}).

Early life

I have personal knowledge of these facts and was a contemporaneous witness to all of them. Eupatorium36 (talk) 16:29, 14 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, and thank you for wanting to contribute to Wikipedia. Content here should be based on reliable, verifiable, independent sources. The personal experience of editors is not suitable as a source, not least because it's not verifiable; we have no way of knowing if what a person says about their experiences or their identity is true. Additionally, people with personal connections to a topic are very strongly discouraged from editing articles relating to it, as outlined in the conflict of interest policy.

Hello. Would you be so kind as to answer two questions? I could probably find the answer on this website, but I try to spend as little time as possible online.

If an author was writing a biography of Jim Williams, interviewed me, and included information from the interview in the book, would it be proper to cite the book on Wikipedia as the source for that info? Similarly, if a reporter interviewed me for a story on him, would it be proper to cite the article? Eupatorium36 (talk) 20:01, 19 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for this guidance. I'm one of the two remaining living members of his immediate family, so any firsthand information on his early life will die with me. Eupatorium36 (talk) 17:25, 15 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
