The page on "Joseph Carl Robnett Licklider" cannot be found when you search "Joseph Carl Robnett Licklider" for reasons I do not fully understand and so cannot correct - I think it may be that the title of the page does not use his full name. It finds the page correctly only with "J. C. R. Licklider" and you can get a listing with the page as the top hit using only the surname "Licklider". If someone who knows more about editing a Wikipedia page than I could make an intelligent change so that the Wiki search function picks up this obvious search that would be a great service - or if someone could tell me how to accomplish that goal I will make he change needed. I am a total novice at Wikipedia, not an expert at this topic and probably should not be let loose editing pages... Ionlycametosay ( talk) 22:57, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
The section on Project MAC refers to "his two-year term of office in 1962". Term of office where? ARPA? I can't find any place earlier in the article that says he was at some place for two years, and even if I've overlooked it, it would be good to clarify it in this section.

I was disappointed to see that this article makes no mention of Licklider's role in Infocom. Not serious enough to put here? Mopalia ( talk) 17:28, 31 July 2011 (UTC)
i removed the very long quote from the beginning because it is a. way too long and b. not given any context. when i was reading this article for the first time i did not know where this quote came from or why i should care about it, so the article's readability was hindered. if anyone feels like this quote deserves to stay in the article, consider putting it in a separate section (e.g. "quotes about. . .") and consider giving the quote an attribution within the article proper. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.245.107.17 ( talk) 13:14, 12 July 2012 (UTC)

The wiki here says that "unlike many AI practitioners, Licklider never felt that men would be replaced by computer-based beings." In fact, on the second page of "Man-Computer Symbiosis" he writes "In short, it seems worthwhile to avoid argument with (other) enthusiasts for artificial intelligence by conceding dominance in the distant future of cerebration to machines alone." So this does not seem to be altogether valid. [1] — Preceding unsigned comment added by Currandwyer ( talk • contribs) 23:26, 1 May 2018 (UTC)
...and I felt I should document why. The link was in what is currently footnote 32, to the article Cogley, Michael (21 August 2020). "AI defeats human F-16 pilot in virtual dogfight". Telegraph Media Group Limited. at https://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/2020/08/21/ai-defeats-human-f-16-pilot-virtual-dogfight/. This is behind a paywall. The link I provided instead ( https://www.questia.com/magazine/1G1-632995578/the-defense-advanced-research-projects-agency-s-artificial) is not behind a paywall, and its title "The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency's Artificial Intelligence Vision" also seems more relevant in general to the relationship between Licklider and today's DARPA than an article about a virtual dogfight. That said, this is an article "preview", not the complete article (which is behind a paywall); and this is also the first time I've edited such a link, so I may have left something out.

The long quotation from Lick's bio was removed with the comment "massive worshipful hagiography unneeded in top paragraph, which should calmly and succinctly summarize article topic", and they might have a point about the top section (it wasn't the top paragraph), but:
Like I said, I can see an argument that it doesn't belong in the intro - but that is who he really was, and I think it's important for his article here to say so. 98.166.125.164 ( talk) 05:47, 26 December 2023 (UTC)
