Rik in his role as the editor of ;login is going to
try work with Doug and
to get something "published" into the next edition which should satisfy the
Wikipedia folks. There is a minor issue is that Rik is technically past
the deadline but due to the holiday, there are a few days of grace that the
workers putting the issue together have said they will thankfully try to
handle.
So maybe we can have get this fixed shortly.
I don't think so. Is ;login: a peer-reviewed journal? It doesn't look
like it to me. Still, the current state says:
The origin of the name cron is from the Greek word for
time, χρόνος (chronos), according to its author Ken
Thompson[2][better source needed]. Others have suggested that the
name comes from the Greek God Chronos[3] or that it is an acronym
for "Command Run On Notice"[4] or "Commands Run Over Night",[5]
but the references lack substantiation.
Even if someone is still grumbling on the talk page, that doesn't
substantially misrepresent anything that I can see.

Is it not written, "That which is written, is written"?
