Well, what are some citable sources on Paul Lutus that don't principally pertain to his having authored Apple Writer?

Look at some older versions in the page history (see https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:EnTerr/Paul_...) before the page got whittled down before some deletion attempt, and you can find quite a few.
