==There is another Andrew Morton==
There is another Andrew Morton, a journalist who wrote "Monica's Story" and "Her True Story in Her Own Words". Please disambiguate them. A link to this page on [[Monica Lewinsky]] page needs to be fixed.
 
:I've moved this page to [[Andrew Morton (computer programmer)]], created an article for the other guy at [Andrew Morton (writer)]] and made a disambig at [[Andrew Morton]]. Now fixing all the links - [[User:David Gerard|David Gerard]] 21:56, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 
== Why mm? ==
 
Why is Andrew's branch called mm? [[User:JohnWhitlock|JohnWhitlock]] 01:44, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
 
:It was originally a gathering point for memory management patches [[User:Rusty Russell|Rusty]] 03:01, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
 
== English or Australian ? ==
<blockquote> Andrew Keith Paul Morton (born 1959 in ''England'') is an ''Australian'' software engineer.</blockquote>
 
How could be someone born in England be Australian?. Please clarify. --[[User:87.218.10.176|87.218.10.176]] 07:33, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
 
:Just checked with Andrew - he became an [[Australian_nationality_law|Australian Citizen]] in 1975.--[[User:Hacknsplat|Hacknsplat]] 02:23, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
 
== Website URL results in 404. ==
 
I'm guessing he removed his website. Either way the link to his website gives a 404 (not found). Is there a different URL or should the website link be removed altogether? -- [[Special:Contributions/92.238.129.232|92.238.129.232]] ([[User talk:92.238.129.232|talk]]) 16:56, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
 
:A stuff-up of some sort resulted in the ISP canceling his old account. We have a backup of the content, and we should be able to restore it shortly (at a different URL). I'll update the URL once the content is back up. --[[User:Hacknsplat|Hacknsplat]] ([[User talk:Hacknsplat|talk]]) 00:46, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
 
::What was the URL of his website? Was the content ever restored at a different URL? --[[Special:Contributions/82.171.70.54|82.171.70.54]] ([[User talk:82.171.70.54|talk]]) 16:43, 23 July 2010 (UTC)
 
:::Okay, the old URL was http://www.zipworld.com.au/~akpm/ --[[Special:Contributions/82.171.70.54|82.171.70.54]] ([[User talk:82.171.70.54|talk]]) 16:47, 23 July 2010 (UTC)

Hello fellow Wikipedians,
 
I have just added archive links to {{plural:1|one external link|1 external links}} on [[Andrew Morton (computer programmer)]]. Please take a moment to review [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=prev&oldid=710786676 my edit]. If necessary, add {{tlx|cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{tlx|nobots|deny{{=}}InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:
*Added archive https://web.archive.org/20120207023642/http://www.mvista.com/vision/index.html to http://www.mvista.com/vision/index.html
 
When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the ''checked'' parameter below to '''true''' or '''failed''' to let others know (documentation at {{tlx|Sourcecheck}}).
