Untitled

22 August 2009. I noticed that this article about me contained outdated information about my place of employment. I left W3C at the end of January 2009; see my 'People' page at W3C for confirmation. So I removed the now inaccurate information. I didn't add a new affiliation, to avoid the appearance of advertising or conflict of interest. And I resisted the temptation to revise the text for better flow.

Would the article read less like a resume if it were terser and more factual? Something like the following? I'll leave that decision to someone with more sense of good wikipedia practice than I have.

C. M. (Michael) Sperberg-McQueen is an American markup specialist. He has served as co-editor of several technical specifications, including the Text Encoding Initiative (TEI) Guidelines, the Extensible Markup Language (XML) 1.0, and XSD (XML Schema Definition Language) 1.1, and has participated in and chaired various standards committees.

Passing

I note with sadness that Michael passed away today. See: [1]https://www.balisage.net/RememberingMSM.html scruss (talk) 02:31, 17 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I changed the text to teh past tense and added the date of his passing. Barefootliam (talk) 06:00, 17 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I added selected publications and talks (lest they disappear from the web), from his online CV at BlackMesa. I hadn't added the sections of 'Selected Computing Projects and Experience', 'Teaching', 'Honors and Fellowships', 'Professional Activities', and 'Education' sections... Happy to do so if people think it best.

Bibliography

I've found 11 more pubs that aren't listed yet (most are recent). Was going to add, but I just noticed that the existing ones are don't seem to be in ref/cite form -- which seems esp. desirable here... Any objections to my converting them? Sderose (talk) 17:39, 18 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Or, given the flags recently added, would it be better to move the publications list to a separate "List of Works By" page, and keep only a few key ones here? Sderose (talk) 13:43, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
