Untitled[edit]

Great entry :) -- sodium

Thanks, Can someone post his Date of Birth? I'm NOT sure if it's 1925 !!! He died on the 7th of October, 1999 though. That's for sure (100% accuracy, from UC archives) -- Saghmos

Google-searching, some of the text seems to have been copied from http://www.ucsc.edu/currents/99-00/10-11/huffman.html, are you sure you have got permission for this? -- sodium

Photo[edit]

I have a photo that David gave me years ago. I think he would like it to be the one on his Wikipedia entry: http://www.thunder-monkey.com/david_huffman-lg.jpg

I have no idea how to put it into the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.36.249.35 (talk) 23:35, 15 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Can someone please help out who knows how to post the picture? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.36.240.37 (talk) 17:10, 15 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"Survivors"[edit]

I don't get why this information is so important to be in Wikipedia:

David Huffman passed away at the age of 74 after a 10-month battle with cancer. He is survived by his wife, Marilyn Huffman, of Santa Cruz; his former wife, Jane Ayres Huffman; their three children, Elise, Linda, and Stephen Huffman, all of Santa Cruz; a son-in-law, Jeff Grubb, of Santa Cruz; a stepdaughter, Marti Homer Kehlet, of Sacramento, her husband, Daret, and their daughter, Karsen; a stepson, Darin Homer of Prunedale, his wife, Jane, and their son, Ryan; and a brother, Donald Huffman, of Westerville, Ohio, his wife, Jean, and their family.

IMO it should be removed from the article.

"History"[edit]

The History section on the Huffman Coding page contradicts what is given here (and seems to be correct). --weemadarthur 198.152.14.67 (talk) 10:04, 19 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Copyvio[edit]

Some of this article is copied from [1]. Snippet search on google confirms that other text is copied from [2].

I reported the issue to Moonriddengirl. I'm working on a rewrite, not finished yet. See Talk:David A. Huffman/Temp. -- SchreyP ^(messages) 21:53, 12 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Current temp version good enough to be merged with old article. For more details and potential new copyvio, see Wikipedia:Copyright problems/2011 July 5. -- SchreyP ^(messages) 21:52, 17 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
