And being the founder of DonationCoder, mouser had his own Wikipedia article at one time...but some at Wikipedia thought he wasn't notable enough to deserve it and so it was deleted.

I never saw such a page, but to whoever deleted it: thank you.  :P

With the information in the original post, I didn't think anyone here needed a link. I guess they're just being helpful.

They zapped Mouser bio page? What can you say? Supposedly Kurt Vonnegut once tried to correct some factual errors in a Wikipedia article somebody had written about him. The corrections were not accepted because, per Wikipedia's guidelines, Vonnegut cannot be considered a "reliable source" of information on Kurt Vonnegut.

Shades of the movie Back to School where Rodney Dangerfield's character hires Kurt Vonnegut (who puts in a brief cameo appearance) to write a school paper on himself. Dangefield's English Lit professor marks the paper "F" along with the comment "You obviously don't understand a the first thing about Kurt Vonnegut or his philosophy."
