Biographical data[edit]

I'm the subject of this article. I don't want to edit my own page directly, as I gather that's frowned on by the Wikipedia community. However, I do want to point out that the date of birth and institution are incorrect. My correct date of birth is January 4, 1974 (not January 11). I've also moved from the University of Queensland, and am now a Senior Faculty member at the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics. This information can easily be verified in multiple ways using Google - visiting http://michaelnielsen.org/blog/?page_id=181 is a good start (see my CV for date of birth). -- Michael Nielsen —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nielsen (talk • contribs) 17:34, 19 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

CSTAR: Thanks for making the edit. You may wish to change the text of the external links so that the first link no longer references the University of Queensland. The second external link might also be better replaced by http://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=MA+Nielsen&hl=en&lr=&btnG=Search, but I'm really not sure. In any case, the currently linked page is likely to become out of date. -- Michael Nielsen —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nielsen (talk • contribs) 16:12, 20 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This article is a waste of space. This person has done nothing remotely great to even be submitted on wikipedia. Rating - 1/100
