Wegman and Said Lawsuits 2014-2015
editIn case anyone comes back to edit this page, they might want to check Ed Wegman, Yasmin Said, Milt Johns Sue John Mashey For $2 Million. Of course, as a blog, that's not RS, but it includes copies of various court records, and directions of how to get them if somebody wants to check. Of course, they are primary sources, which make them hard to use in Wikipedia, even of they are strong evidence in the real world. For instance, it is a fact that Wegman's complaint said what it did, although course that doesn't imply that what was said was true. For example, some were trivially false:
'7. In March of 2009, Defendant John Mashey, via the web blog Deepclimate.org performed an analysis of the Wegman Report that purported to show plagiarism by Wegman.’ False: Dec 2009, Deep Climate, not me.
8. In March of 2010, based on Mashey's writings, Raymond Bradley, of the University of Massachusetts, made a complaint to Said's employer, George Mason University, alleging plagiarism in the report from one of Bradley's textbooks.’ False, based on work of blogger Deep Climate.
9. Two different committees investigated the charges and no plagiarism was found. False, by FOIA JohnMashey (talk) 22:33, 5 June 2015 (UTC)

Error, in case any edits this page, plus missing award
editThe text says " trustee of the Computer History Museum in 2008." and cites the Computer History Museum profile, which doesn't give a date, but 2008 is certainly wrong.
The correct date is 2000, although the earliest Web page I could find easily was from 2003: 2003 Board. My wife and I were actually recruited by Gordon Bell and Len Shustek in 1996 to get involved, and we were Founding Members (as per the board in Museum), but I doubt that's published anywhere.
A missing award is: Mashey received Pennsylvania State University's 1997 Outstanding Engineering Alumni Award for Computer Science, the first for that department after it had moved to Engineering.JohnMashey (talk) 20:43, 20 November 2020 (UTC)
over all tone is in appropriately laudatory
editthe over all way this is written, it sounds like ad advert for Dr Mashey and is in my opinion very inappropriate — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:197:D00:3CA0:FD75:2430:51B3:BCC5 (talk) 21:52, 1 July 2023 (UTC)
