i crossed my fingers for the first 24 hours but i now think admins and mod, to their credit, understand it's the truth.
the article shows scans of the research reports listing only Carlsen as their author, you could have just linked to one in the first paragraph of the Wikipedia page to support his sole inventorhood, right
per: the scans, the patent isn't for TIFF and the articles misspell his name. I think that the Paul Brainerd (Aldus cofounder) interview with the Computer History Museum, when he names Stephen, will be sufficient for Wiki.

I don't know what “investing over” means, but all I can say is (repeating myself): try it with a friend, without giving them the benefit of hindsight. (Very few visitors to a Wikipedia page read its talk page, very few of them will further look at the archives of the talk page, let alone read every single comment and its corresponding commenter's name, and in this case as soon as the author knew the spelling to look…
I mean that the author was literally writing a book about this and literally conducting an investigation about who was the real author of the TIFF spec. He interviewed other people about it, he had a name that had a typo in it, he even found a white-on-white line in a PDF with the real name. He was clearly putting effort into the research.

I bet Musk hacked something together (or has a column in TweetDeck if that's still around) that continuously searches for mentions. I wonder if there's a tool like that that covers more of the internet, although the primary users would only be famous people and/or their agents / social media staff.
There are lots of tools that do this if you are willing to pay for it. "Social Media Monitoring" or "Brand Monitoring" would be the keywords to search for
You can try our tool for example: https://KWatch.io
It monitors keywords mentioned on X, Linkedin, Facebook, Youtube, Quora, Reddit, and YC.
