Recent edit to Debra Winger

Hello. I noticed that you made an edit to a biography of a living person (Debra Winger), but that you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source. Wikipedia has a strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you! Ian (talk) 07:53, 9 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Game Link Cable

Where did you see this persons name in association with those slides and beyond that this is still anecdotal. There is no reference to prior art in the patents from what I can tell and no verifiable source other than this line in this slide. Either improve the citation or it can't stay.

Name's on 3rd slide. Hosted on the official website of the IEEE802 committee. Rehosted on Teener's site. http://www.johasteener.com/docs_files/1394HistoryAndMarket.pdf Source is pretty solid. Grindty (talk) 00:01, 18 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, but you understand that him simply saying this in this way doesn't simply make it so and I can find no suggestion anyplace else that this anecdote is true. Literally everyone is pointing to the Wikipedia article or this slide. This statement needs way more context as it could simply be, "we went with a Molex cable of this design we saw on a GameBoy because that's what was a good price point"... or "the team thought that the robustness of the Nintendo cable was a goal to achieve"... or even, see here's the patent where we indicated prior art. So far I see none of this and I've been researching this for a few hours to try and find some independent corroboration about this claim. I know this is frustrating and even those first two examples would be shaky unless we had more than just his anecdote to carry it. BcRIPster (talk) 03:15, 18 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
