How did you create your personal homepage? Was Wikipedia's customization system really that powerful?
[edit]I would be extremely grateful if you could briefly explain how you did it. I've discovered you're a very senior editor with over 20 years of experience. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I'm just a newbie, having been here for less than a year.~2026-65327-8 (talk)04:08, 31 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
- If you would like to see the HTML that created the page, you can click on the "Edit" button. Most of this is off the peg rather than custom HTML, for example the bouncing globe is Krimpet/peek.--♦IanMacM♦(talk to me)07:25, 31 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
I'm really disappointed that your added back in clearly erroneous info. There is no possible way that the 7094 was used to record the song in 1961 because 1) the machine did not exist until 1962, and 2) the primary authors of the experiment explicitly said that the song was made on the 7090, and 3) the 1962 recording released by Deccaonly contains the songs made on the 7090. This is not source hacking, this is reality. Sources are wrong all the time. The thing to do is to add the correct sources.Viriditas (talk)09:39, 5 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
- Agreed, but the problem is introducing new material without sourcing it.--♦IanMacM♦(talk to me)09:46, 5 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
- I'm adding it now, if you would be so kind as to hold your horses. Also, the sources are already over at the 7090 article, as I mentioned in the edit summary and above. So give me a few minutes to fix it.Viriditas (talk)09:51, 5 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
- I added it. I'm still looking into the IBM 704, which several authors maintain was used to synthesize the voice while the 7090 created the music. But I looked at all of the published papers and original media demonstration in 1961, all of which used the 7090, so I can't for the life of me figure out where this idea came from originally. My guess is that they were using the 704 in the late 1950s, so maybe this earlier computer music research bled in to the newer, I don't know, but there are two LOC sources and several authors who mention the 704 in regards to "Daisy Bell", but I haven't been able to confirm or verify it anywhere.Viriditas (talk)11:11, 5 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
