The Reference to Doug Engelbart's 1962 research report Augmenting Human Intellect: A Conceptual Framework, introduced here /info/en/?search=Douglas_Engelbart#SRI_and_the_Augmentation_Research_Center, is obsolete and should be corrected. The link to his report should be https://dougengelbart.org/pubs/augment-3906.html, and a separate link to the most recent archive version of 2-Jun-2022 on Internet Archive https://web.archive.org/web/20220602190201/https://www.dougengelbart.org/pubs/augment-3906.html - I have recently overhauled the referenced report on dougengelbart.org to correct many errors and ommissions that had been introduced in the original scanning and subsequent rendering to html since 1997(!) MouseSite version. By matching the text back to the original printed archive I have made numerous spelling corrections, instances of enhanced text (underlined for emphasis in the original, now italicized in the digital), adding back in omitted text such as Forward, Abstract, plus a (clickable) detailed Table of Contents, and rescanning images whose original scans had introduced some errors. Yay for Internet Archive, there is now a 2-Jun-2022 archive of the corrected version of the report to link to instead of the archived obsolete version. The desired Reference format is shown in the Wiki article on Intelligence Amplification /info/en/?search=Intelligence_amplification#References items #2 and #3 which do point to the official version on dougengelbart.org and separately link to the Archived version although as of this date they have yet to update that "Archived" link to the 2-Jun-2022 archive Cengelbart ( talk) 17:13, 8 June 2022 (UTC)

The page Purple Numbers redirects here, without any mention of the term in the article. Is this right? Should something be added to the page? YorkshireLad ( talk) 12:22, 15 May 2019 (UTC)
The four points in guiding philosophy were not said by Engelbart. They seem to be a summation of a number of secondary articles that do not cite their sources. I have found a number of people quoting this online as Engelbart's words. The provenance of this sentiment seems to be citing his various talks:
http://www.dougengelbart.org/colloquium/sessions.html http://dougengelbart.org/content/view/161/000/ https://stanford.edu/dept/SUL/sites/engelbart/engfmst1-ntb.html There are many more out there.
I have been looking but I haven't found him saying these things. To avoid further misquoting it should be made evident that these are a summation and not his specific words. Or the actual source should be cited here rather than secondary articles. This section is not incorrect as far as I can tell, and it sounds like something Engelbart would say. It is rather an abridgment of a summary of his reasoning. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.244.213.153 ( talk) 17:11, 20 September 2019 (UTC)
Christina Engelbart here - I think I'm the one who contributed the four bullet points, definitely a summation, paraphrased from his myriad lectures, writings, and interviews. Some good sources for quotes:
