Talk:Eric Veach

Provenance

I started the Eric Veach article on the wikipedia. I usually just port the last version of the article for which I can claim I was the sole author. But, since I started this article so many people made valuable additions I am porting the most recent version, with proper attributions. Geo Swan (talk) 03:19, 6 January 2026 (UTC)

this awk program takes the revision history, throws out the fields I don't want, and just prints the wiki-id
