The phrase the invention of the World Wide Web was ranked number one, with the entry stating, "The fastest growing communications medium of all time, the Internet has changed the shape of modern life forever. We can connect with each other instantly, all over the world." seems to confuse the Internet and the WWW. Supposing the source of the quote does not, the sentence should be rephrased to show that it does not. 2.247.243.252 (talk) 07:34, 24 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The reason is because it used to be called the World Wide Web. --The Eloquent Peasant (talk) 11:07, 24 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The World Wide Web is still distinct from the Internet at large. For example, E-mail, which was already well-established by the 1980s, is part of the Internet but not of the Web. --Florian Blaschke (talk) 22:50, 26 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
These are being managed by non-websites today to work 100% against Tim Berners-Lee's vision. This article should have a section on hyperlinks, with him as the author, as per the article Hyperlink. It takes me to link that article to him in 2023? Well, apparently it's necessary.

Hello, as Robert Cailliau was the source of pre-www work, and collaborated with TimBL on the "discovery" of the WWW, his name should be mentionned in the introduction. 2A02:1810:2E32:4700:18E1:414C:EEE9:B88D (talk) 09:04, 9 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I disagree. This article is about Berners-Lee, not about the WWW. It would be unnecessary detail in the opening of an article about a person to start listing out all their collaborators. MarcGarver (talk) 13:45, 9 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Quoting from the article 'His paternal grandmother was a Canadian woman' perhaps being Canadian is notable, but who considers it notable that his grandmother was a woman? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.136.196.48 (talk) 21:47, 7 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
