[edit]There's a stripped down, non-copyvio, non-vanity version at Scott Swedorski/Temp. Is probably only worth merging with Tucows. -Splash 03:28, 6 August 2005 (UTC)
Why was he banned?
[edit]I'm just curious about why he was banned, any ideas? --Ron Williams 04:23, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
Speedy Deletion
[edit]This is just WP:SPAM. However, he looks just like me, only better looking. Nonetheless, I propose Speedy Delete. --Gavin Collins 22:58, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
On second look, I note that the company he founded is listed on a public stock exchange, and the above proposal was not appropriate. --Gavin Collins 09:06, 15 June 2007 (UTC)
Requested update to outdated biographical details
[edit]Hello. I am the subject of this article and have a conflict of interest, so I’m not making direct substantive edits myself. I’m requesting a modest update because the article appears quite old and sparse, and some of the wording no longer reflects the best available sourcing. My goal is not to add promotional material, but simply to make the article more current and accurate regarding my early Internet work and the founding of Tucows. A conservative draft update might read: Scott A. Swedorski (born October 10, 1970) is an American Internet entrepreneur best known as the founder of Tucows (The Ultimate Collection of Winsock Software), which he launched in 1993 in Flint, Michigan. He studied computer science at Mott Community College and later worked for the Flint Area Library Cooperative Online Network (FALCON). In 2005, Mott Community College named Swedorski a Distinguished Alumni Award recipient.
