Just bringing the list to this page.
They're doing a black out right now to protest the potential SOPA legislation that could crush them and sites like this one. Or just remove a ton of content because of copyright infringement.

Not sure what you need to change there, why is it all on the "talk" page rather than the article page?

They wouldn't accept it as an article.
The reviewer wrote: This submission's references do not adequately evidence the subject's notability—see the guidelines on the notability of people and the golden rule. Please improve the submission's referencing, so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia.
I do find humour in the fact that the Government of Canada is not good enough as a reference and being credited with developing the Canadarm isn't notable to wikipedia.

Michael Zubko could be a challenge. I can't find much on him via the google.

I think the forum messed up your link. The Jan Zurakowski page has pictures and everything. I didn't know he was still alive until 2004.

Mike Zubko was one of the first CAT members (before the TATC for you young folk). You might find some of his early 'decisions' interesting to read. :shock:

Larry MacKay was one of the founding members
of the Tribunal too, and what Enforcement did to
him was pretty far out there. They never even
paid to replace his PC that they illegally seized
and damaged after breaking into his house with
an invalid search warrant.
