*'''Maybe''' he is famous after all [http://ascii.textfiles.com/archives/917 for his edits on Wikipedia]—[[textfiles.com]] article about that. [[User:Pohta ce-am pohtit|Pcap]] [[User_talk:Pohta ce-am pohtit|<small>ping</small>]] 08:05, 1 February 2010 (UTC)
*'''Delete''' - the sourcing on this isn't anywhere close to establishing notability, and doesn't do a great job of establishing the given facts. --[[User:SarekOfVulcan|SarekOfVulcan]] ([[User talk:SarekOfVulcan|talk]]) 15:29, 1 February 2010 (UTC)
*'''Comment''' I have posted a scan of the ''COMPUTE!'s Gazette'' article in question [http://img64.imageshack.us/g/computegazetteissue1719.jpg/ here]. It mentions Shannon and one other sysop, as examples; this 3-page sidebar article is part of a larger article about the increased use of BBS telecommunications on Commodore systems. It gives a bit of background on Shannon and the other guy (who, AFAIK, doesn't have an article and probably shouldn't). It says nothing about the claim that he was the first person to create a BBS for the VIC-20, so that claim will have to be sourced elsewhere.
