Family legend has it that my great-grandfather Sullivan knew the guy who invented zippers, Gideon Sundback, but refused to go in on the patent costs with him because he thought it would never catch on.

Access & Saving Languages

One problem with Wikipedia is that while the consensus process is one means for trying to approach truth, it reduces the number of perspectives present. On the other hand, because Wikipedia exists in multiple languages, it presumably has at least that many perspectives.

Wikipedia will show multiple perspectives where one view is not overpowering. Ohj and if you finish typing with four tildes then wiki will sign your typing.

WRT to your edits on my main user page, by "discussion" I meant the talk page, and I wrote that in 2007 (see the history page!) I think there's a lot of great academic work on this now, so it probably won't be something I get to professionally. But thanks for your enthusiasm 138.38.99.92 (talk) 08:56, 10 March 2020 (UTC)
