Basic biographical information

[edit ]

It would be helpful if this new entry included such basic information as (a) place and date of birth, (b) place of current residence, (c) year the baccalaureate degree was earned (MIT Year?). Also (d) the article now states this was a B.A. in Mathematics. Wasn't it a B.S.? --unsigned--

Good point. Information is now provided.--FeralOink (talk) 13:49, 12 December 2022 (UTC) [reply ]

Tourettes?

[edit ]

In the categories, he is listed as "People with Tourettes Syndrome". Is this sourced anywhere?-- FeralOink (talk) 13:48, 12 December 2022 (UTC) [reply ]

I've looked, and the only information I have found are blog/reddit posts, and other hints that are very far from the level of sourcing we would expect, especially for indicating that a living person has a given medical syndrome (also, the fact that this piece of information does not appear in the article, just as a category, makes it even weaker). I've removed it. Schutz (talk) 13:59, 12 December 2022 (UTC) [reply ]

Thank you, Schutz! I appreciate that you took care of that.--FeralOink (talk) 14:01, 12 December 2022 (UTC) [reply ]
