 +Feel free to be informal and tell it like it is, especially for the anecdotes. However, if you make an assertion or state a fact, back it up either with a link, a reference, or say that you assert this. Examples:
 +
 +  * 1st Edition Unix, released November 1971 (as per the [[http://www.tuhs.org/Archive/PDP-11/Distributions/research/Dennis_v1/UNIX_ProgrammersManual_Nov71.pdf|manuals]]).
 +  * The first Unix users meeting outside of the Labs was the one organised by Lou Katz in October 1973 ([[:publications:quarter_century_of_unix|QCU]] pg 65).
 +  * In October 2009, Dennis sent Warren Toomey a private e-mail that said “In other news, I have found the book that has the [PDP-7] listings that I knew I had”.
 +  * Doug McIlroy says: Norman Wilson shares with Ritchie the honors of reigning guru.
 +
 +The latter is most useful in the [[:people:start|People]] section. If you know details about someone, then add it to their bio with your name as attribution.
