Talk:Mary D'Imperio

Untitled

Copied over from another Wiki (being written by me) to start the article off - so can be developed/WP-ified.

Could 'the proverbial someone' cross link with the Spanish WP article (and/or translate).

I think this is her obit [1] Jackiespeel (talk) 21:00, 7 April 2013 (UTC)

Could the 'translate from Spanish WP article' marker be added as well - as she is there she is notable enough to be on the English one. Jackiespeel (talk) 16:46, 8 April 2013 (UTC)

That's the correct obituary only if she was in her 60s when she started her work on the manuscript and think that her obituary wouldn't mention her writings.Mdtemp (talk) 21:41, 22 April 2013 (UTC)

It is not unknown for such detail to be ignored - and it does seem to be one of those 'less common' names which are more common than one expects. Jackiespeel (talk) 22:00, 22 April 2013 (UTC)

So do you think she was in her 60s when he started her work on the VM? Is she actually dead? I did a quick database search and found 14 living people with that name, so you should be careful about making obituary claims.Mdtemp (talk) 18:06, 23 April 2013 (UTC)

No, that obit is Mary R, she is Mary E. See e.g. a 2015 ref for Mary E ... https://abcbirds.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/ABC-Annual-Report-2015_ONLINE-FINAL.pdf Cancerward (talk) 11:37, 22 March 2018 (UTC)

No initial on the page (which would aid future research). Jackiespeel (talk) 16:24, 23 March 2018 (UTC)

Oh I agree. Not good enough to make it into the article, but pretty clear it's the same person based on the birding interest. Similarly, she has articles in Cryptolog on "Human Factors" (Apr 82, May 82, Nov 84), "Passwords" (Dec 82), "More On Passwords" (Mar 83), and a "Sun Users Group" (2nd issue 1988) and wrote several of the other "Human Factors" columns there. But (IMHO) they don't seem like particularly interesting articles. Cancerward (talk) 03:48, 26 March 2018 (UTC)

Pointer to article list added - even though the name is redacted, the author is clear based on "The Joys of Unix" being included; so this isn't "Original Research". Cancerward (talk) 11:21, 7 August 2023 (UTC)

Hence the query it above, rather than putting it in the article page. Jackiespeel (talk) 09:23, 26 April 2013 (UTC)

There is slightly more detail here [2]. Jackiespeel (talk) 09:10, 26 May 2015 (UTC)

If anyone has a newspapers.com account there's a few more things to add ...

The link is a sufficiently reliable source - and the tags need changing. Jackiespeel (talk) 10:10, 3 June 2020 (UTC)

Can I just remove the 'BLP' tag from the top of this talk page - I doubt there are any issues likely to arise. Jackiespeel (talk) 11:36, 12 June 2020 (UTC)
