While I understand that Wikipedians are generally discouraged from editing entries about themselves, I was just reading the entry about me and discovered two errors which I plan to correct. One is simply a bad link - the link to the entry for Mobcasting isn't working properly. The other is somewhat more significant: the article implies that the website Helping.org later became the Digital Divide Network. That's not correct. The Digital Divide Network is a spinoff of Helping.org; Helping.org existed for several years in parallel with the existence of DDN, which I imagine anyone could verify if they went to archive.org and used the Wayback Machine for looking at the history of each website.
So the correction I plan to make will state two things: - that DDN is a spinoff of Helping.org; - that Helping.org later changed its name to Networkforgood.org
I know these may seem like minor issues, but I would hate for people who were involved in either helping.org or networkforgood.org to assume that this article was trying to suggest that their site somehow became DDN, when that is not the case.
That's all I'm going to do on the page; I'll leave any other changes up to others. Thanks.... Acarvin 21:14, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

Says who? Something like "often quoted" sounds meaningless to me unless I can see it backed up. Perhaps he is often quoted in the media on issues related to the digital divide in north America, but I have never actually seen him quoted in the media on such issues in Australia. Some qualification or backing up of this sentence from the previous authors of this article would be appreciated. Cheers! — Донама 06:33, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
I see that someone requested a citation for me being a part of the rocketboom team. Here are some links to some of my contributions to the video blog: immigration protests, carpet waxing, $100 laptop Acarvin 12:52, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
I'm rather puzzled why someone removed the citation to my blog essay, When Mobile Podcasting Leads to Mobcasting. They said it was removed merely because it came from a blog. That's seems really odd, since the idea of mobcasting was first discussed in that blog entry. It was an editorial essay, not a citation of facts - does Wikipedia not allow references to editorial commentary when that commentary is what spurs a notable discussion? Just because it was written within the context of a blog doesn't change the fact that was the time and place I first published it. I won't change the entry, but I just wanted to raise the question to understand why linking to a blog is unacceptable. Acarvin 00:41, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
Just wanted to pass along the word that I'm leaving Boston for Washington DC on September 30. I've just accepted a job at National Public Radio. [1] I'll continue to work with Rocketboom and the PBS learning.now blog. Acarvin 22:04, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
I removed the notability template from within the article because of the subject being so frequently quoted at NPR. I personally feel the subject meets the criteria for a stand alone article based on: "The person has made a widely recognized contribution that is part of the enduring historical record in his or her specific field" (see Wikipedia:Notability (people)#Additional criteria. The subject seems like an expert, as recognized by NPR, within the field of social media. Pknkly (talk) 02:28, 18 April 2009 (UTC)

How does such 'soft' ads for someone get in an 'encyclopedia'? (oh wait, Carvin wrote most of it himself!) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 146.90.55.240 (talk) 16:08, 19 October 2012 (UTC)
I just wanted to point out some things that are out of date in the opening paragraph. My title hasn't been senior product manager for five years; I'm senior strategist at NPR. (Also, NPR doesn't go by National Public Radio anymore, fwiw.) I haven't worked with Rocketboom in five or six years either, and I'm more active as a journalist on Twitter rather than a blogger. I can make these changes myself but I'd prefer to give someone else the chance to make these updates. Thanks... Acarvin (talk) 16:58, 21 July 2013 (UTC)
