Bitcoin[edit]

I agree that Hal Finney should go here. It says co-creator of Bitcoin which is presumably what the WP:RS say. But some suspect, and that includes me, that he is the only creator. That Satoshi doesn't exist. But maybe we will never know. Gah4 (talk) 06:01, 26 September 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

The name of the Board's chair needs to be updated.[edit]

The text says, "The current board is chaired by David L. Lee, co-founder of Global Crossing Ltd."

According to this announcement by Caltech, David Lee has stepped down, and the new chair is David Thompson. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Abenter (talk • contribs) 23:02, 3 December 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Thanks for making this request. This information seems to be unnecessary in the article so I've just removed it entirely. ElKevbo (talk) 01:31, 4 December 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Charles W. Gates[edit]

Curious whether trustee Charles W. Gates mentioned under History, Throop College, is the same Charles W. Gates with a Wikipedia article. Looks doubtful geographically and nobody else has linked it. The Gates (surname) is widespread. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:306:CD89:8710:359A:408:9444:BA15 (talk) 22:03, 12 January 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

It is a different person, Charles Warner Gates (not Charles Winslow Gates) [1]. Antony–22 (^talk⁄_contribs) 02:38, 15 January 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

RfC on capitalization of buildings[edit]

There is an RfC going on on whether the names the South Houses and North Houses at Caltech should be capitalized. The question is whether these names are proper nouns, and whether the amount of sources capitalizing them is a "substantial majority". Your comments and !votes are appreciated.
