[edit] Photo
Who the h*** deleted the photo of Jakob Nielsen? Any why? I added the image originally, then I had to add it again since someone removed it. Now it's gone again! abelson 12:35, 9 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Removal of external links to vacuous pages
I've just re-removed a link to a page that reads in full:
- "The Original Dancing Jakob Neilsen! [sic]
- "Your ad here. Your ad here. Your ad here. Your ad here. Your ad here. Your a

- "The Dancing Jakob Neilsen [sic]
- "This piece was originally produced on 10/28/2000 and moved to this location on 1/13/2001.
- "See more sites dedicated to Jakob Neilsen [sic] at: {USEITorLOSEIT}
- "Back to Kermit"
This is supremely uninformative and thus worthless to Wikipedia. I've removed it, and I'll regard any reinsertion as disruptive. -- Hoary 06:48, 19 November 2005 (UTC)
[edit] 1990 or 1991
WTF? He wrote it in 1990, or in 1991?
In 1991, when the Web was new, Nielsen correctly predicted that hypertext was the future of user interface design and jumped on the bandwagon by writing a comprehensive book about it: "Hypertext and Hypermedia", published in 1990. Family Guy Guy 02:37, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Pronunciation
Any idea how one should pronounce his name properly? Is it [dʒeikəb] or [ja:kob]? Cameltrader 07:40, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
- I think [dʒeikəb] is actually used in his daily life though he is originally from Denmark. Please review following interview video http://www.devsource.com/article2/0,1895,1937615,00.asp#

In Korea Wikipedia, Pronunciation of his name is in discussion. --Alf 12:28, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks. --Cameltrader 15:44, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] vandalism
FYI my additions weren't and aren't vandalism, although maybe there were raw. Claiming yourself to be an expert on websites, yet demonstrating this with a hugely unpleasant one of your own that fails to give many usability tools, such as consistent signposting, leaves questions as to your credibility. Raising those questions is not vandalism; ignoring them is bizarre.

- Maybe you have your reason to say that, but please be extra careful when adding controversial information about living persons. "Self-proclaimed" seems too strong a word for one of the most famous (though disputed) authorities on usability. Improvement of user experience is the aim, so "[...] at the expense of the user experience" is equivalent to saying that he totally failed. Do attribute your statements to a reliable source, or someone will likely revert your edit again soon. Have fun. --Cameltrader 14:01, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
