Notability

To increase confidence of notability, it would be good to see more references to discussions of Cuff's work. There are already more than enough references to the actual work, so no more of those needed, just more analysis and critique. --Northernhenge (talk) 11:33, 3 September 2026 (UTC)

Hi Northernhenge, really appreciate the extra lift you have been doing to get this article into proper shape. I'm the subject of the article so I won't ever dare touch it for obvious reasons, but thought some of these links below might be useful as external sources. No idea if this was what you were looking for, or if they are appropriate, perhaps they may add a spot of color as third party sources? Again feel free to ignore if this wasn't what you needed!

Oh and here's an MIT news article that actually mentions me, I saw you took the old one out for all the right reasons!

Ok, promise, I'm done now, thanks for reading and helping out!

I just added that MIT citation @Northernhenge, but after reading your about page, I think I understand about not doing driveby things. Again, please forgive me, I'm very new here. I tagged my update with a COI, and may have made a mess of it, but I think it's good. I also added some info to Jpred, which was software I invented 28 years ago working with Geoff to help with the orphan issue that @Scopecreep noted. Can't thank all of y'all enough for all the help getting this little page working again! It's nice to finally have time to look at it after three years! DrCuff (talk) 03:51, 4 September 2026 (UTC)

aargh! It was @Scope creep, and not @Scopecreep I missed a space and found the wrong account. my bad!! DrCuff (talk) 03:54, 4 September 2026 (UTC)

I've done similar things myself with mis-spelling names and getting the wrong person! --Northernhenge (talk) 08:05, 4 September 2026 (UTC)
