An IP added him as a cofounder, but I can't find any evidence of this that didn't come from Stewart himself. Is this actually true? Did he make contributions that rise to the level of cofounding? - Richfife (talk) 22:51, 1 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The citations supplied to support the statement that Ian Charles Stewart was a co-founder do not verify that he is a co-founder. His name does not appear on the masthead of Wired 1.1, the first issue of the magazine. Nor does it appear in either of these recountings of the making of the first issue: http://www.fimoculous.com/archive/post-3813.cfm and https://www.wired.com/2013/04/wired0101/. (I wrote the latter based on interviews with every living person listed in the masthead of the first issue.) He is not mentioned in Gary Wolf's history of the magazine, "Wired: A Romance" https://www.amazon.com/Wired-Romance-Gary-Wolf-ebook/dp/B000QCS8XS/ref=sr_1_2?crid=3F0DTJSUCFU58&keywords=wired+a+romance&qid=1644687096&s=books&sprefix=wired+a+romance%2Cstripbooks%2C144&sr=1-2 Tdgrnwld (talk) 17:10, 12 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Similarly, there is no evidence that "the strongest influence on the magazine's editorial outlook came from techno-utopian cofounder Ian Charles Stewart and his associate Kevin Kelly.[3]". The cited article is about the origin of Wired's editorial philosophy. It is factually incorrect (attributing the motivation to start Wired to Nicholas Negroponte, who described his role here https://www.wired.com/2013/04/wired0101/). It does not mention Ian Charles Stewart whose name, as noted above, appears nowhere on the masthead of Wired 1.1, the first issue of the magazine.

Ideology

[edit]

This article needs to better articulate Wired's ideology, especially in its earlier years (the 90s), which is important for understanding its place and influence. Some resources to start that:

I am not sure I understand this personally, but I came here to say they should consider discussing the left wing stance of the magazine. Alexandermoir (talk) 00:24, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Access for presenters

[edit]

Are there restrictions or guidelines for presenting on Wired? Metatron suggests there are "woke" criteria. 136.36.180.215 (talk) 18:20, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
