Could someone explain where this name is coming from? The connection from Dominus to the surname "Du" isn't obvious to me (unless the latter is a phonetic approximation of the former?) so it seems a little out of the blue to mention it. I see that the hanja for the name pops up on Chinese language websites about him, but a search for the hangul turns up only his personal site and copies of this article. Searching for the romanized form "Du Min-so" and variants turns up nothing. -- Calcwatch 05:04, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
Again someone has deleted my Chinese name, claiming in the edit summary that "no evidence has been presented that he is known by this name". I am not aware of any Wikipedia policy that requires that any such evidence be presented. I am puzzled that the people who are making these changes feel that this is the best possible use of their time. —Mark Dominus (talk) 13:55, 17 October 2012 (UTC)
The same user took this issue to the Conflict of Interest noticeboard, although I'm not sure why, and the little they said on the matter did not explain why. The topic expired from the noticeboard with very little attention, and none from the administrators or even from anyone familiar with Wikipedia policy. The discussion, such as it is, is archived here.
Since there was no input from the COI experts, and no explanation of how adding my Chinese name to this article could possibly present a conflict of interest, and no discussion here, I am concluding that consensus among editors knowledgeable in COI matters is there is in fact no conflict of interest. I plan to restore the Chinese name to the article shortly, with its Korean transliteration, . —Mark Dominus (talk) 01:41, 28 October 2012 (UTC)
After waiting for counterarguments, I have restored my Korean / Chinese name to the article. Editors who object to its presence there should present arguments against it that are substantive, and that go beyond mere personal opinions that the name is "absurd" or "ridiculous". If they claim conflict of interest, they should say what the conflict is and whose interest is being advanced. They should address the use of the name in bibliographic records such as the VIAF, and in Chinese-language press. —Mark Dominus (talk) 18:41, 2 December 2012 (UTC)
According to Jackson, Leigh (1992-06-22). "A DAY FOR GAYS TO SHOW THEIR PRIDE". Philadelphia Daily News. p. 08., Mark Jason Dominus is bisexual.
The article reads, in part:
The accompanying photograph clearly depicts Dominus, and is captioned "Mark Dominus stretches dam while Jaye Fox kisses customer at kissing booth."
Should some mention of this be made in this article? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 158.130.70.56 (talk • contribs)
Here is a 1992 newspaper article from the Daily Pennsylvanian that describes Dominus as a "QUIP member", where QUIP stands for "Queers Invading Penn", "an organization of lesbian, gay and bisexual students, faculty members and University employees". 72.94.72.36 (talk) 03:44, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

I am bisexual. See for example [1]. I suggest this fact be added to the article, and that the article be placed in the category Category:Bisexual writers. —Mark Dominus (talk) 18:15, 18 March 2016 (UTC)
A recent edit added a reference to a short story that I wrote about fifteen years ago. The edit is well-meaning, but it seems to me that the story is not particularly notable or even interesting. I have written a lot of random stuff over the years. —Dominus (talk) 14:36, 22 February 2010 (UTC)
Shouldn't it be mentioned that Dominus is suspected of being Klortho the Magnificent and thus partially responsible for Kibology? His connection to the group called "perlmongers" is highly suspicious and an indication that he is capable of much atrocity.

Perhaps it would be appropriate to mention that I was an Invited Speaker at the 2008 OOPSLA conference. That seems to me rather more significant than many of the other items in the article. —Mark Dominus (talk) 17:03, 17 January 2011 (UTC)
This page appears to be a vanity page. It includes Korean and Chinese versions of the person's name. Is there evidence that this person is notable enough in Korea or China to be known by a Korean version or Chinese version of his name? Also, "founder of kibology" etc. reads like nothing more than a vanity page. JoshuSasori (talk) 04:35, 29 June 2012 (UTC)
I suggest that this page be added to Category:Hunter_College_High_School_alumni, since it exists and I am one. —Mark Dominus (talk) 04:59, 11 September 2012 (UTC)
But looks like it goes back years. This needs to be addressed with reliable sourecs, period. --Malerooster (talk) 14:21, 18 October 2012 (UTC)
A recent edit removed the claim that I co-founded Kibology, which was in the original revision of the article added in 2005 by SYSS Mouse (talk · contribs); . The edit summary said "no evidence he co-founded kibology", but the claim was cited to the article "The Danger in Being Kibo", Detroit Metro Times, 21 January 1997 ([2]. Removal of material that cites independent sources, without prior discussion on the article's talk page, is a violation of WIkipedia's content guidelines.
When I investigated this link I found it was no longer valid. But Wikipedia's verifiability policy says "It has always been good practice to try to find and cite supporting sources yourself", and it is easy to find the cited article in the Internet Archive's wayback machine, as recommended by WP:DEADREF). The article contains a note that it was originally published in the Baltimore City Paper in June 1997.
I suggest that the matter be discussed here to determine community consensus. —Mark Dominus (talk) 17:35, 19 October 2012 (UTC)
It might be worth mentioning that, with one exception, the articles that I wrote for The Perl Journal were all reprinted in Orwant, Jon, ed. (2002). Best of the Perl Journal: Computer Science and Perl Programming. O'Reilly and Associates . ISBN 9780596003104. to which I also wrote the introduction. The one exception, "Ray Tracing", was reprinted in Orwant, Jon, ed. (2003). Web, Graphics & Perl/Tk Programming. Best of the Perl Journal. O'Reilly and Associates . ISBN 9780596003111. ((cite book))

This is clearly a vanity page created by meat puppets and edited by the subject of the article. The subject of the bio has no notability other than through self published sources and it should be deleted. 166.70.60.63 (talk) 20:51, 6 October 2016 (UTC)
