Hello, I'm UncleBubba. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Internet Message Access Protocol, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. In addition, you are marking practically all of your edits as "Minor", and they are not. Minor edits have a specific definition in Wikipedia (see WP:Minor). — UncleBubba ^{( T @ C )} 03:11, 21 December 2020 (UTC)

Hi, I'm User:williamjyeager. I guess this is how I talk Most of what I added is referenced in RFC1064. Names of implementors were left out. It is also clear from the RFC that IMAP was created at Stanford University. I can validate that Mark Crispin worked for me with an email from my then boss, Tom Rindfleish who was the director of our lab. Believe me, everyone in our lab who knew Mark also knew he worked for me. So, I wish to do a step-by-step edit. I'm not sure how to include an email from the laboratory director.

Hi, I'm User:williamjyeager. And yes, William Yeager is William J Yeager. I can send you a copy of my birth certificate.

Please note that I did not create my Wikipedia page. I've no idea who did. Yes, I've edited it. Most of what is there is referenced. Now, one cannot complain about the patents. If one reads the patents, then they refer to much of what I entered. It's important to realize that some of the work I did before the late 1990's is not on the web for obvious reasons. But, I do have hard written evidence and even the source code. Unfortunately, Sun Microsystems has been purchased by Oracle and the web based information is gone.

I am willing to do my best to clarify if I know what to do. This is not an autobiography. Rather a list of facts. The only unsupported information is about Mark Crispin. But, there are plenty of human beings who can attest to the truth here. Do note the following the Stanford University link clearly states I was a member of the faculty and I invented the multiple protocol router. The evidence for this is not contestable. There are a couple of dead links that weren't dead when they were added. The posted warning on the William Yeager page is "ex post facto." This history is important.

I wish repair broken links in the references. They often disappear over time. The link is for "Pete Carey: A startup's tale." A valid URL is: http://pdp10.nocrew.org/docs/cisco.html
