[edit] Errors and mistatements
I would like to talk with marty Goldberg about editing my changes to Nolan's bio. Since I am Nolan's daughter, and have Nolan's permission to edit his bio, I think the edits I make which are accurate, as well as footnoted, should be the default edits. Marty, I am more than willing to discuss this with you. Please feel free to email me - my contact info is on the uWink Website www.uwink.com. Thanks!

- How wikipedia works is anyone can edit an entry, no permission required. Likewise, Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a press release. There are very specific guidelines on POV statements ("some people", "original" or "first" with out providing evidence to support it, etc.), and what entry content is to include and not include. It strives to be neutral, reporting both critical (which you keep editing out,and is documented as well) and non-critical information. Lastly, the section you keep editing is not directly in relation to Nolan's background but rather the company you are currently a part of with him. Wikipedia has clear rules on this, and there is a conflict of interest on your end As Vice President of Marketing and Public Relations. Your very position puts you even more at odds with this rule as its your job to put spin on the company image. If you want to add figures and such about the products (which belong in the uWink article and not here), that's wonderful and you're certainly a great source for that. But Wikipedia is not a site for self promotion, and that includes using an SEC filing (which itself containts press release style text) as documentation for anything other than figures,d ates, etc. You have your own web site and press releases for the PR you're looking for. --Marty Goldberg 20:25, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] No photo
Can we add a pic of Mr. Bushnell? I mean, he's an important person. --TKGB 00:56, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] New External Link...
It's a video about the history of videogames starting with an interview with Bushnell himself. Well, if anyone objects to me adding this external link, I'm not gonna take it off without a good reason. Abby724 00:52, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Minor Edit
I made a correction about the name "Atari." In chess, "check-mate" implies an end-of-game condition, while "check" implies a temporary condition. "Atari" in the game of "Go" is more like "check" in chess.
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Nolan Bushnell.jpg
Image:Nolan Bushnell.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Not a Mormon
"During my first quarter of college at the University of Utah, I was at a thing called the institute of religion and I got into it with one of the professors. I told him what I believed Mormonism stood for. I was always willing to say that there were a lot of interpretations, but the professors were people studied in Mormonism and I didn't believe, nor do I believe, that you should interpret the Bible literally. I'm willing to take things with a grain of salt and Mormonism creates good people, but I'm not going to endorse dogma that I think is hoo-hah." [1]--Zerothis (talk) 17:16, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
