Rick Jellife gets paid for editing Wikipedia

edit

An interesting offer: get paid to contribute to Wikipedia January 22, 2007 - by Rick Jelliffe

  • should this be noted in the article perhaps??
Yes, I think it should be. ThijsN 14:10, 25 January 2007 (UTC)Reply
Added to the article, FYI, the person who created this article is an anon from Sydney, Australia, 203.51.20.11 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · page moves · block user · block log), who also created the article Derek and Patrice Jelliffe. Travb (talk) 16:45, 27 January 2007 (UTC)Reply
Yes it was me, embarrassingly. I did not know the Wikipedia rules then (I thought concentrating on facts and adding articles on material that was not there was the thing; I know better now), and I am more than happy to delete or move the page offsite or to the correct location as appropriate.

No problem, I don't want to remove anything sir, I am staunchly against deleting most everything on wikipedia, I just wanted to alert everyone to this.

Adding a photo

edit

Is there a Wikipedia compatible photo of Rick Jellife available? ThijsN 14:10, 25 January 2007 (UTC)Reply

I've taken a photo of Rick and uploaded it, both unmodified and cropped/scaled, and added it to the article. I suspect I screwed up a bit in the way I've done this and it may need someone else to clean things up properly :-) The two images are Rick_Jelliffe_2007-07-26.jpg & Rick_Jelliffe_2007-07-26_small.jpg if someone wants to clean up after me.

Extra reference added

edit

I have added a reference, but no text, to the Standards Australia press release which responds to the ComputerWorld article. I do this 1) to ensure an NPOV and 2) because misrepresentation of me is so widespread that I regard it important to set the record straight: the ComputerWorld article was factually wrong that I am a "Microsoft Developer" and so on. If this is an unacceptable COI edit, please remove it, but IMO the article had "undue weight" and was incomplete. I note that the edit involved no deletion or text, and the press release referenced is not by me. Rick Jelliffe (talk) 18:18, 15 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

Thanks Rick. I have no probs with this bio (or frankly you editing it)...but the bio section has no refs, can you list here or add to the article. Ceoil (talk) 23:17, 7 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
