Bipolar disorder
- ...Richard Wallace, a computer science Ph.D. who lost his academic positions because of his manic depression.
Statements like these shouldn't appear in Wikipedia.
- One individual's personal problems are not encyclopedic material. It might be as part of a train of logic, but here it's off-topic.
- It violates Richard Wallace's privacy. Would you like to see your job position and medical problems discussed in Wikipedia?

http://www.wired.com/news/politics/0,1283,53072,00.html?tw=wn_story_related There is no privacy violation. In fact, he's the one who brought this into the public. Anthony DiPierro 21:50, 6 Mar 2004 (UTC)
That's no reason to include it. It's still not encyclopedic, it's still an irrelevant bit of human interest sensationalism, and it's still private information spilling around for no good reason. I'm not worried about the harm to Wallace (who probably doesn't give a hoot), I'm worried about the quality of an otherwise interesting article.

Then why do you keep bringing up the "private information" bit? It's not private information, it's public information. I'll move it to a page on Richard Wallace. You're right that it's somewhat out of place here. Anthony DiPierro 23:44, 6 Mar 2004 (UTC)
You're right, I could have formulated that differently. —Herbee 00:57, 2004 Mar 7 (UTC)
Clive Thompson article
The link to Clive Thomson article doesn't work.
- If you're talking about this link:
- Clive Thompson: Approximating Life [1] (http://www.nytimes.com/2002/07/07/magazine/07WALLACE.html), The New York Times Magazine, July 7, 2002
- I just checked it, and it works fine Kevyn 10:59, 19 Aug 2004 (UTC)
A.L.I.C.E. with A.L.I.C.E. conversation link down
I noticed that the link to the A.L.I.C.E. to A.L.I.C.E. conversation is down. I don't know what the error is, as where I am now blocks network errors, but I changed the link to point to the latest copy at web.archive.org. --alien2k 09:48, 20 Jan 2005 (UTC)
And now the wonderful college have blocked the web archive, so I've added a Google cache link pointing to the archived page. *sigh* --alien2k 12:25, 24 Jan 2005 (UTC)
