Attribution of SPAG[edit]

Hey Gnu. I'm rewriting SPAG, and I'm trying to accurately attribute it to someone. I remember DTE from my time at WWGHA, and I see you have a link to the thread in which he used the phrase. I don't see any evidence though that DTE is Vince Skolny. If they are indeed one and the same, has he publicly stated this? If I don't have a source that links the two then I'm likely to just attribute it to "DTE". Do you have an insight in to this? Concernedresident omg!!! ponies!!! 14:34, 7 April 2011 (UTC)

Cheers Gnu. Appreciate the clarification. DTE's general outlook and writing style matches Vince's. Just wanted to be certain, since we generally avoid revealing real identities unless the person behind the nickname has publicly disclosed it. Vince would be very welcome to pitch-in on the rewrite. Gnu, do the same as well yourself. There's a link to the draft on the SPAG talk page. Concernedresident omg!!! ponies!!! 22:17, 7 April 2011 (UTC)

Hi CR. Vince says he's happy with the attribution as you have it now. He said that you can contact him if you want to at skolnymail@gmail.com. Also, he doesn't seem bothered if people know that DTE is him; apparently many people already know that... Gnu Ordure (talk) 15:18, 8 April 2011 (UTC)
