Internet pioneer

Can Veni Markovski elaborate himself on his Internet pioneership? And what does "started working on the Internet" mean? Why do I get the idea that the only one making such claims is Mr. Markovski himself, who is also the main contributor to this page? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.98.196.2 (talk) 09:39, 21 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

By definition anyone who set up an ISP in an East European country in 1993 is an Internet pioneer, but true, running a BBS doesn't necessarily constitute "working on the Internet". It needs elucidation. The article could do with some references. I'll add the tag. Wwwhatsup (talk) 15:54, 21 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with the first sentence of Wwwhatsup's message. As stated in the Wikipedia article, Internet, "although the basic applications and guidelines that make the Internet possible had existed for almost a decade, the network did not gain a public face until the 1990s. One or two words that cannot be agreed upon does not make an article biased. All one needs to do is to amend the "offensive" sentences in the spirit of a community website, rather than acting god-like by hastily putting up a tag, giving the impression that the contents of the article cannot be relied upon.

This article in actual fact contains a lot of information on Mr Markovski's activities pertaining to the internet and one cannot help but agrees that Mr Markovski has played a significant role in the development of the internet, not only in his own country, Bulgaria, but also in the international arena. For example, how many people in this world can act as the Chairman of the President's IT Advisory Committee in his own country? But I do object to his photograph that makes him look younger that he really is. See Teknologi-maklumat.com:Veni Markovski for his dad's photo, hehehe. — PM Poon (talk) 13:58, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
