Author here.
I don’t use Wikipedia at all.
Generally, I read old magazines, books, and occasionally old websites in the Wayback machine when I can’t find other stuff. I then write.
I don’t make citations as my work is meant to be neither authoritative nor academic. I research and write for my own enjoyment.
As for Davies, I didn’t bring him up because I didn’t have a ton of material on him. For Xchange, I again didn’t have a ton of material. For the games, that early period wasn’t my focus. I really wanted to read/write about their mobile hardware.
Now, for the backlight part, I will need to make a correction to my work. I recall reading it was present, but I was clearly wrong.
Edit: as for CPU, covered that on my site already: https://www.abortretry.fail/p/mips-for-the-masses https://www.abortretry.fail/p/mips-for-the-masses
Edit 2: also, honestly, writing about anything in the UK is somewhat more challenging. I grew up in the USA. Unless people present did interviews I can find, or if I can find books/magazines about it… I won’t have much to go on as I’ll not have experienced it.
- lproven 2y agoThanks for replying! May I suggest publishing some kind of contact info? I have gone far out of my way to try to contact you with corrections before, including doing WHOIS requests on your domains, emailing `abuse@` as a common catch-all address, and so on, with no success. Citations are one thing, but "more info..." links are good.
