1102333029 2022-08-04T14:31:34Z Cosmoid Undid revision 1102318856 by [[Special:Contributions/ජපස|ජපස]] ([[User talk:ජපස|talk]]) The claim that Knuth is an affiliate of The Galileo Project is supported by the Galileo Project's own official website. To argue this is inadmissible on the grounds the page may not have been subject to "editorial review" is utterly absurd.

I think a reasonable compromise is to keep the not-obviously-incorrect criticism, and leave out the blatantly-on-its-face wrong stuff. [[w:en:WP:RW|(RW 16.1)]]

1100934063 2022-07-28T12:06:18Z Cosmoid Removed, once again, Colavito's misrepresentation of Knuth's actual words. The quote is a gross misrepresentation of what it's blatantly clear Knuth actually meant - as can be seen from Knuth's actual quote, within its original context. This is a biographical page about Kevin Knuth and any criticism should be factually based - and not a seemingly deliberate misrepresentation of Knuth's words that were published on this author's own website.

1100819921 2022-07-27T21:45:28Z Cosmoid Removed reference to the publisher o Entropy journal (MDPI) to prevent unfair inferences being made relating to Knuth's editorship the journal. Knuth is not accountable for the publisher's historical record pertaining to controversial decisions made before he was editor. The reference is here simply to demonstrate notability - this article is not about Entropy nor MDPI.
1100818026 2022-07-27T21:32:22Z Cosmoid Remove quote from a film critic about production standards, as this is entirely irrelevant to the subject. Knuth simply appeared in the film which is referenced here as an example of notability. The film was made by an independent production company; Knuth had nothing to do with the film's production.
1100817155 2022-07-27T21:26:40Z Cosmoid /* Entropy journal */ Remove quote from Colavito which misrepresented Knuth's comments and, moreover, was added here in the absence of Knuth's original full quotation for reference.
